41	The relationship between cognitive styles and personality types Hardijzer, Carol Hugo 11 1900 (has links) The general purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between cognitive styles and personality types in order to gain insight into the placement of leaders within the context of current and future organisational demands. The study was conducted among 123 managers within the information technology environment of a South African financial institution. Data was collected by means of the Cognitive Process Profile (CPP) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Supporting evidence, although not sufficient, indicates a probable relationship between cognitive styles and personality types. The assumption can therefore be made that the relationship between cognitive styles and personality types will be more pronounced among a more geographically distributed sample group which includes sufficient diverse respondents regarding the different cognitive styles and personality types. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / MCOM (Industrial Psychology) Cognition Cognitive Process Profile Cognitive styles Personality types Myers-Briggs Type indicator 153.4 Typology (Psychology) Trait intercorrelations Individuality Personality Personality and cognition Cognition Cognitive styles Human information processing Thought and thinking Individual differences Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
