“…For example, consider the Jungian personality "psychological type" metatheory underlying the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) (Myers, 1980)  . The values explicitly espoused in the MBTI involve increasing the conscious awareness and appreciation of psychological type differences (McCaulley, 2000). The MBTI is based on certain assumptions about the activity of people, who, within the parlance of dynamical systems and complexity theory, may be seen as acting as active self-organizing individual agents by manifesting combinations of the attitudes (introversion or extraversion) and functions (sensation, intuition, thinking, or feeling) into one of the MBTI "16 types" (Myers et al, 1998).…”

Despite the advances brought to psychology by multiculturalism and cultural diversity as a framework for social justice and improving human lives, there is a risk for what Bakan (1966) called "unmitigated agency" if multicultural and cultural diversity are reified as competencies that are then mandated in professional psychology training programs. A corrective alternative would be an integrative cross-cultural psychological science that would identify universals and appreciate differences across both individual personality and cultural contexts. Some of the principles for such an integrative applied cultural science are then generated, with examples, and a conceptual developmental model integrating biological factors (temperaments, endophenotypes), affect dynamics, attachment, and psychological type theory is offered.

“…As individuals who prefer Intuition are willing to consider new experiences, and as therapists are frequently Intuitive types (McCaulley, 2000;Provost, 1993), we predicted that individuals who prefer Intuition would have better outcomes in cognitive therapy than those who prefer Sensing. Given that individuals who prefer Thinking are more given to logical decision making (Myers, McCaulley, Quenk, & Hammer, 2009), we predicted that individuals who prefer Thinking would have better outcomes in cognitive therapy than those who prefer Sensing.…”

Abstract. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is sometimes used to predict therapy outcome and select the therapeutic modality, but the empirical basis for these uses is minimal. In the current study, psychological type (assessed by the MBTI) and initial functioning (assessed by Global Assessment of Functioning [GAF]) were used to predict the therapy outcome, as measured by the change in GAF within a sample of outpatient clients (N = 525) receiving cognitive therapy. Hierarchical regression and logistic regression were used to identify whether the 16 MBTI psychological types and/or which dichotomous attitude and function pairs best predicted the psychotherapy outcome. The Thinking-Feeling function was found to be a significant predictor of the cognitive therapy outcome, such that individuals who preferred Thinking demonstrated greater improvement in GAF than individuals who preferred Feeling. However, when initial GAF was included in the regression, Thinking-Feeling was no longer a significant outcome predictor. Fourletter personality type was not a significant predictor of the psychotherapy outcome. Overall, the results indicated that individuals who preferred the Thinking function showed greater benefit from cognitive therapy than individuals who preferred Feeling, and they underscored the importance of a thorough initial assessment of adaptive functioning.

“…The discipline of psychology and its clinical practices display an abiding interest in identifying, assessing, and describing temperament qualities that may have a pervasive and important role in shaping development, achieving mental health, and guiding life pursuits (Costa & McCrae, 2001;Joyce, 2010;McCaulley, 2000;Strelau & Zawadzki, 2011). The importance attached to temperament is heightened, in part, by knowledge that temperament may provide important psychological insights on protective and risk factor -especially in children (Bayly & Gartstein, 2013;Klein & Linhares, 2010;Mangelsdorf, McHale, Dieners, Goldstein, & Lehn, 2000;Mian, Wainwright, Briggs-Gowan, & Carter, 2011).…”

Temperament refers to stylistic and relatively stable traits that subsume intrinsic tendencies to act and react in somewhat predictable ways to people, events, and stimuli. Temperament can be defi ned by four bipolar styles: extroversion-introversion, practical-imaginative, thinking-feeling, and organizedfl exible. These four styles provide the theoretical structure for the group administered Inventory of Adult Temperament Styles (IATS).Validity evidences are reported on 853 middle class adults (43% female), ages 15 through 54 (M = 26.5, SD = 8.6), who were studying at universities or working in Sao Paulo state (Brazil). The degree items are consistent with the four temperament styles was examined through item response theory and confi rmatory factor analysis. Results confi rm the proposed theoretical structure. Invariance testing suggests that scores refl ecting temperament styles have similar meanings for men and women. Implications as well as future directions for research are discussed. Keywords: Assessment, type, styles, temperament, personality. ResumoO temperamento compreende estilos e traços relativamente estáveis que representam tendências para agir e reagir de formas previsíveis frente aos acontecimentos, pessoas ou estímulos. O temperamento pode ser defi nido por quatro estilos bipolares: extroversão-introversão, prático-imaginativo, pensamento-sentimento, organizado-fl exível. Estes quatro estilos compuseram a estrutura teórica do Inventory of Adult Temperament Styles (IATS). As evidências de validade do IATS foram investigadas em uma amostra de 853 adultos (43% mulheres), idades entre DP=8,6), estudando ou trabalhando no estado de São Paulo. A adequação dos itens em relação aos quatro estilos de temperamento foi examinada através da teoria de resposta ao item e da análise fatorial confi rmatória. Os resultados confi rmaram a estrutura teórica proposta. O teste da invariância indicou que os estilos de temperamento observados possuem signifi cados semelhantes para homens e mulheres. Implicações e sugestões para futuras pesquisas são discutidas.
