Reading Borg and Shapiro in the Journal of Economic Education 1996 winter issue, makes an interesting point. They investigated how student’s personality affects student’s achievement in a macroeconomics class. I took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator back in the 1980s and I was an INTP. The study claims that ENTP and ESTP and ENFP did worst than the most common student type of ISTJ. Extroverts did worst than Introverts. SJ students performed better than NT and NF students. Also they found that the closer the match between the temperament of the student and the instructor the better the final grade of the student. I plan to contact some of my old Prof and see if they know their Meyers-Briggs type.
