Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between time sensitivity and purpose in life. Time sensitivity was operationally defined by scores on the Judging–Perceiving dimension of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and by whether subjects reported habitual watch-wearing. Scores indicating the Judging orientation and watch-wearing defined individuals who were most responsive to the dimension of time. Purpose in life was operationally defined by scores on the Crumbaugh and Maholick Purpose in Life Test. A multiple linear regression analysis showed no difference in scores on the Purpose in Life Test between Judgers and Perceivers, apparently supporting the Myers-Briggs perspective that having a specific temperament does not convey any special advantage in added value or meaning to one's life. Watch-wearing best predicted scores on the Purpose in Life Test. The results were discussed in terms of competing theoretical perspectives.
