The Influence of Hemispheric Dominance on Scores of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

Hartman, Steve E.; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v57 n3 p440-49 Jun 1997

Results for 75 medical students and 248 undergraduates suggest that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator appears to sample only 3 bipolar personality dimensions rather than the 4 that the use of "type tables" implies. One of these dimensions shares substantial variance with the cognitive model of hemispheric dominance. (SLD)
