“…Starting from a perspective that career counseling and personal counseling can be distinguished and that "career-minded clients may expect a more 'active' counselor [and] fewer sessions" (p. 501, Miller (1992) explained how career counselors can integrate the results of a personality-type and an interest-type measure to enhance client decision making. Miller provided a balanced overview of the value (i.e., construct validity) of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI; Myers & McCaulley, 1985); explained the various MBTI orientations; and related them to Holland's (1985) typology.…”

This is not a boring, sterile review. Neither is it exhaustive, unbiased, or genteel. My aspiration was to write an interesting, informative, and forthright article that would encourage career counselors to continue their education by reading the original books and articles discussed herein. The praise I expressed is genuine, as is the criticism. My intent was to explain what I found useful, thoughtful, helpful—or not. My hope is that those who read this review will appreciate my viewpoints. I do not expect everyone, however, to subscribe to my positions for, surely, controversy and eclecticism may hone the critical and creative thinking necessary to move career counseling and development forward into the next millennium.

“…In Do What You Are (Tieger & Barron-Tieger, 2001) the authors identify different occupations and associate them with personality types that would suit various careers and jobs. Current research shows that there is a relationship between personality type and job satisfaction (Miller, 1992). Past research identifies technological careers as having a prominent personality type or types (Tieger & Barron-Tieger, 2001).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a statistically significant common personality type or common combinations of type within the personality profiles among 83 students who enrolled in the Aviation Flight Department at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIUC). The Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory (MBTI) was the instrument used to determine student's personality types. Basic information including age, sex, high school grade point average and ACT scores were also collected. Data collected were analyzed using a chi-square (χ²) distribution to determine whether there was a statistical significant difference between the MBTI types of the Aviation Flight student population and the general population. The study revealed several personality types and personality type combinations among the students to have a statistical departure from the general population implying that there are personality types or combinations of type of students interested in becoming a professional pilot.

“…Previous studies include McCauley (1978), who found a relationship between the majority of the SII and the MBTI scales; Pinkney (1983), who highlighted ways in which the MBTI may be used as an alternative to the SII; and Dillon and Weissman (1987), who assessed the relationship between Holland and Jungian typologies and found significant relationships between the two. Others have discussed the integration of the two instruments in the career counseling process and provided case examples (Lowman, 1991;Miller, 1992;Peterson, 1995). It is important to note that none of the above researchers utilized the 1994 version of the SII and few of these studies examined empirical relationships between the two instruments.…”

The present study examines the relationship between the polar dimensions of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Personal Style Scales of the Strong Interest Inventory (SII). The sample consisted of 426 undergraduate students who completed both instruments as part of a career and life-planning course. Results indicate that the Personal Style Scales of the SII are related to the MBTI polar dimensions in various combinations. Implications of these results for career counselors are provided.
