Abstract

This study examined the relationship between MBTI personality type (introversion/extraversion) and teaching methods for 73 undergraduate college students. The results indicated no differences were obtained between personality type and teaching methods. Introverts preferred guest speakers/demonstrations, while extraverts preferred classroom discussion/games. Implications of the study are discussed.
