Study on the Effect of Personality Type on the Language Learning Strategies of Non-English Major Students Through MBTI Test

The learner's personality is one of the presumed internal variables influencing the success of foreign language learning. The globalized period has altered the landscape of English language teaching (ELT) along with demographic, geographic, and structural changes to English, and it has highlighted the significance of preparing language learners for cross-cultural communication. This study aimed to investigate the effect of personality type on the language learning strategies of non-English major students using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. The reliability of a questionnaire's questions about independent, dependent, and moderating variables serves as a foundation for its adaptation. Out of 300 questionnaires, 250 were considered for statistical analysis because 50 questionnaires were not filled. Data were analyzed with a help of statistical software named Smart PLS 3 (SEM). Empirical tests of our working hypothesis were carried out using a Structural Equation Model (SEM) with Partial Least Square (PLS). The results of the study indicated that there were significant differences in language learning strategies based on the participants' personality types. Extroverted students tended to prefer group work and interactive activities, while introverted students preferred independent study and individual tasks. Additionally, sensing students tended to focus on the details and practical applications of language learning, while intuitive students tended to focus on the big picture and abstract concepts. These findings have important implications for language educators and suggest that tailoring language learning strategies to the individual needs and preferences of students based on their personality type may lead to more effective language learning outcomes.

Personality Styles and Organizational Effectiveness

Personality is among the human aspects that play a central role in an individual’s organizational behavior. The aspect influences a person’s manner of thinking, feelings, and behaviors, among other factors at the workplace. Moreover, a person’s attitude towards people and issues and their decisions and responses are highly dependent on their personality. Based on this argument, one can acknowledge the importance of undertaking a personality test at the places of work. This assessment is necessary for self-reflection and understanding and helping one learn how to better interact with other people. Understanding your personality is essential because this ties to job satisfaction and engagement. According to Redmond & Bower [1], job satisfaction refers to the positive attitudes or emotional dispositions people may gain from work or through aspects of work. Below is an analysis of my personality test. After taking the test, the results were ENFJ type, whereby the Extravert aspect was 47% and Intuitive 6%. Feeling and Judging came out as 41% and 19%, respectively. This test reveals that I have a rare personality that makes one quite sociable and likable among peers. The test describes me as an individual that is charismatic, warm, engaging, persuasive, and quite talkative, among other traits of a sociable person (Humanmetrics Inc, n.d.). It describes that I possess excellent interpersonal skills, and therefore have a considerably high likelihood of ending up in occupations that call for productive collaboration. The Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test is very similar to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test. The MBTI is widely popular and used in business, career counseling, management styles, and team building. I remember a few years back taking this test in a teambuilding exercise. As stated by Luthans et al. [2], the test yields four personality dimensions or traits: (1) introversion/extraversion, (2) perceiving/Judging, (3) sensing/intuition, and (4) thinking/feeling. Among the key strengthens of personalities of this type, according to the test, is that we are natural leaders. This factor means that this person is likely to find themselves in leadership and perform well in this role. Furthermore, this personality type is charismatic and tolerant; hence, they can appeal to their audience as well as take constructive criticism from others. However, this personality type can also be a weakness. For instance, I am likely to be too selfless and struggle to help others at the expense of their well-being. Noteworthy is that this personality type’s need to make everyone happy may affect my ability to make tough decisions when needed [3]. These weaknesses may affect our ability to lead objectively. The lessons learned from background materials in this model regarding the ENFJ positively impact my motivation to explore leadership and entrepreneurship. These goals require the ability to appeal to others and work collaboratively, which this personality type presents. These lessons are not limited to a specific situation but can be applied to various aspects of life. Furthermore, multiple elements of this personality type align with positive affect, a predisposition that supports job satisfaction [4]. As such, the test reveals that ENFJ individuals are likely to enjoy their jobs. I was delighted to find out one of the career choices for ENFJ was that of a physician. I was glad to see that this personality type is engaging and tries to please others because, as I stated earlier, this personality type is engaging. Perhaps this is why I am delighted with my career choice. According to Luthans et al. [2], job satisfaction results from employees’ insight into how well their job provides those things that are observed as necessary. It is typically recognized in the organizational behavior field that job satisfaction is the most important and frequently studied employee attitude. Some slight changes are necessary to improve the strengths and improve the weaknesses associated with this personality type. For instance, it is essential to focus on being more objective when making decisions than always to see the best in everyone. Why empathy is an admirable quality, objectivity is more necessary as an organizational skill. It is also essential to avoid being always overcommitted. For instance, being too much excited about a project makes it hard for one to make objective decisions when the said project has to be stopped. This improvement will be essential when deciding between quitting and continuing with such a project. These improvements reduce the weaknesses highlighted in this personality type.

Identification of Speech Characteristics to Distinguish Human Personality of Introversive and Extroversive Male Groups.

According to the similarity-attraction theory, humans respond more positively to people who are similar in personality. This observation also holds true between humans and robots, as shown by recent studies that examined human-robot interactions. Thus, it would be conducive for robots to be able to capture the user personality and adjust the interactional patterns accordingly. The present study is intended to identify significant speech characteristics such as sound and lexical features between the two different personality groups (introverts vs. extroverts), so that a robot can distinguish a user’s personality by observing specific speech characteristics. Twenty-four male participants took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test for personality screening. The speech data of those participants (identified as 12 introvertive males and 12 extroversive males through the MBTI test) were recorded while they were verbally responding to the eight Walk-in-the-Wood questions. After that, speech, sound, and lexical features were extracted. Averaged reaction time (1.200 s for introversive and 0.762 s for extroversive; p = 0.01) and total reaction time (9.39 s for introversive and 6.10 s for extroversive; p = 0.008) showed significant differences between the two groups. However, averaged pitch frequency, sound power, and lexical features did not show significant differences between the two groups. A binary logistic regression developed to classify two different personalities showed 70.8% of classification accuracy. Significant speech features between introversive and extroversive individuals have been identified, and a personality classification model has been developed. The identified features would be applicable for designing or programming a social robot to promote human-robot interaction by matching the robot’s behaviors toward a user’s personality estimated.

An Investigation of the Relationship between MBTI Personality Types and Decision-Making Competence

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) belongs to the most widely used personality measures, but its associations with decision-making were rarely explicitly studied. Relationships between MBTI personality types and decision-making competencies were the object of interest in present study. 121 high school (age 15-16) and university students (age 19-25) completed MBTI test and Adult Decision-Making Competence to assess their personality and decision-making competence. Correlation analysis and analysis of variance were used to investigate the relationship between personality and decision-making competence. Correlation analysis revealed that only five of 48 relationships between eight personality dimensions on the one hand and six decision-making competencies on the other hand were significant. Similar results were found by the relationship between decision-making competencies and new variables created as the differences between two opposite dimensions. No differences in decision-making competencies were significant by the comparison of four basic MBTI types. MBTI personality types do not associate with decision-making styles. This result points out that good decision-making outcomes are not exclusive for certain personalities and can be achieved by various ways.

Technical and management notes: An approach toward improving the creative output of scientific task teams

Administration of an innovative task team today requires a capability to integrate not only the interrelated technical disciplines but also the relationships of the individual members as well. The team leader needs a tool to measure and characterize the members so that he can predict their interactions and structure his task teams accordingly. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test, which places individuals in a scheme of personality types as established by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, was used effectively in a scientific task-team management situation. Jung theorized that such apparently random variations in human behavior is actually orderly and consistent and reflects certain basic differences in the way people prefer to use perception and judgement in a given situation.
