“…Jungian inventories have been used extensively in psychological (e.g. Frederickson, 1995;Healy & Woodward, 1998;Opt & Loffredo, 2000) and religious (e.g., Bunker, 1991;Michael & Norrisey, 1991) research, suggesting their usefulness for the present study. The use of, and comparison of scores between, the Myers-Briggs and the Keirsey were deemed appropriate based on the findings of Kelly & Jugovic (2001) which indicated that the two instruments measure the same constructs and that the individual scales of the two instruments are correlated to a moderate to strong degree for both genders (correlations ranged from .60 on the Judging/Perceiving scale for men to .78 on the Thinking/Feeling scale for women).…”

“…While Healy and Woodward's (1989) study identified relationships between MBTI types and a taxonomy of 12 career decision making obstacles with college-attending adults, there is little other research depicting how these various personality traits' expression may impact emerging identity status with college-attending emerging adults (Adams, 1998;Vondracek et al, 1995;Wallance-Broscious et al, 1994). Having explored the connection between the identity statuses and career decision making, the following section will be a discussion of the personality preferences that constitute the MBTI in order to examine their relationship with the identity statuses.…”

“…T-F is referred to as decision making that emphasizes objective logic (T), or conversely, to making decisions based on feelings and subjective values (F). Lastly, the J-P continuum described how individuals deal with the outer world contrasting those who organize their lives in a more planned, expeditious way and decide more quickly (J), versus those who adapt to life more spontaneously through continual information-seeking and questioning while maintaining open options (P) (Healy & Woodward, 1989).…”

Crisis as Opportunity: Personality Constructs and Erikson Identity Development

Identity development theory suggests that the developmental trajectory from childhood through young adulthood involves a movement from exploration towards eventual tentative commitment to adult values, beliefs, and career goals. Currently little research has focused on the impact of personality traits commonly studied in personal counseling and career work with collegeattending emerging adults on the process of identity development. This study examined the predictive quality of personality preferences on Erickson's and Marcia's operationalization of identity status. More specifically, do particular personality preferences derived from the Myers-Briggs Typology Indicator more often result in particular Eriksonian identity statuses (i.e., foreclosed, diffused, moratorium or achieved) with college-attending young adults? Personality traits were measured by the MBTI and identity status was measured via the Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status. Multinomial logistical regression was employed in the study with odds ratios constituting the measure of effect size. Emerging adults attending a Southern public land grant institution participated in the study. Demographic information was collected and included in the model. Several findings suggested how the MBTI personality preferences may predict exploration of, and commitment to, adult beliefs, values and career goals for individual who exhibited Extroversion, Intuition and Judging preferences. The Perceiving preference approached significance. There was also a novel finding regarding ethnicity and ego identity development. Students who identified as ethnic minorities reported greater odds of explored commitments compared to their White peers. Clinical implications and suggestions for further research were also discussed.

The article reviews the practice and research literature in career counseling and development in 1998. The literature is presented and discussed under the following topical headings: contexts and populations, career processes, transitions, career assessment, and career counseling, services and programs.The career counseling and development literature published in 1998 was diverse and extensive. To reflect this diversity, we have selected pertinent articles from the leading journals in the field of career counseling and development as well as from journals peripheral to the field. We broadly scanned English language books and journals published in North America and other regions of the world. This review embodies conceptual and research articles, articles that speak directly to career counseling and other interventions, and those that have implications for interventions. Among the research articles, we have included studies that used both qualitative and quantitative data as well as case studies. The result is a review of 21 books and 259 articles from 24 career development and counseling journals and 34 psychology and social and behavioral sciences journals.Such a diverse range and number of items challenged us to construct a suitable way to classify them. Although this is not the last review of the career counseling and development literature of the twentieth century, it is the last one that will be published in The
