So, does MBTI work?
![Page 9: Ob slides - personality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55521d33b4c90520548b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
So, does MBTI work?
• Used a lot
• We combine the variables and describe what they are like
![Page 10: Ob slides - personality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55521d33b4c90520548b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Is MBTI a valid measure of personality?
![Page 11: Ob slides - personality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55521d33b4c90520548b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Is MBTI a valid measure of personality?
• Evidence is mixed• Valuable tool for self awareness• Useful in career guidance• MBTI results tend to be UNRELATED to job
performance• Should not be used as a selection tool

Do these frameworks transfer to other cultures?
![Page 18: Ob slides - personality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55521d33b4c90520548b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

• Yes• No common personality types for a given
country• Country’s history and attitudes impact the
percentages of certain personality types• Where materialism is less revered – less proportion of
type “A”s

Are Traits a good OB?
• Many relationships between traits and behavior are moderate, at best
• Labeling people according to their personality profile or type can result in self-fulfilling prophecy
• Knowing a person’s score on a test can impact how others’ perceive that individual
![Page 22: Ob slides - personality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55521d33b4c90520548b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Interactionist Models
• Hypothesize personality is important factor in behavior
• Argue situational factors can powerfully shape behavior
![Page 23: Ob slides - personality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55521d33b4c90520548b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Conditional Reasoning Approach
• Individuals interpret what happens in environment based on their mental maps
• How they– Frame the world– Motives– Assumptions they make regarding events
• Create different justification mechanisms to adjust to environment
![Page 24: Ob slides - personality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55521d33b4c90520548b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cognitive-Affective Processing System(CAPS)
• Personality -- mental representations of:• people and situations, • goals, • expectancies, • memories, • feelings
• Difference in content --how accessible they are• How they related to one another
• Affected by array of factors• Genetic, • cultural,• societal, • developmental
![Page 25: Ob slides - personality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55521d33b4c90520548b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why is this important?
• Because the mix of people in an organization make a difference. (Read Tipping Point by Malcomb Gladwell to view the difference one or two of the right people can make.)
• Having some insight into others – provides us with opportunities to influence.
• If we understand ourselves we can make better decisions for ourselves.
