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)
