Personality Dimensions and Temperaments of Engineering Professors and Students - A Survey
This provides insights into personality traits in engineering education in Pakistan, but it is incremental as it applies an existing method to a new demographic.
The study surveyed personality profiles of 18 professors and 92 software engineering students in Pakistan using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, finding ISTJ as the most common type for both groups, with professors leaning towards IT and IJ temperaments and students towards SJ and IS temperaments.
This research work aims to study personality profiles and temperaments of Pakistani software engineering professors and students. In this survey we have collected personality profiles of 18 professors and 92 software engineering students. According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) instrument, the most prominent personality type among professors as well as among students is a combination of Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging (ISTJ). The study shows ITs (Introverts and Thinking) and IJs (Introverts and Judging) are the leading temperaments among the professors. About the students data, the results of the study indicate SJs (Sensing and Judging) and ISs (Introverts and Sensing) as the dominant temperaments.
