Abstract
Some structural properties of Jung's typology were investigated, using a self-report inventory, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The findings were that: (a) the type classifications had moderate stability; (b) indicator score distributions were not bimodal; (c) with one exception, the regressions of other variables on indicator scales did not change at the zero point of the indicator scales; (d) the indicator scales did not interact; (e) the indicator scales did not moderate the regressions of other variables on one another; and (f) type indeterminacy was unrelated to ineffective behavior and maladjustment. It was concluded that these results offer little support for any of the structural properties attributed to the typology. (33 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
