“…Support has been obtained for its construct validity by Carlson (1980), Richek & Brown (1968), and McCaulley (198 1). Considerable research has been carried out illustrating the relationships between the MBTI and other personality instruments (McCaulley, 1978;Myers, 1962;Saunders, 1960;Stricker & Ross, 1964). The results of these studies appear to be quite consistent with Jungian theory.…”

In this study dimensions of burnout were compared in a human services sample of 8 1 nurses and a non-human services sample of 194 mid-career managers on an MBA course.A measure of burnout, and certain postulated facets of burnout, were assessed through a self-report questionnaire. An indicator of psychological type was also administered since, it is argued, a confounding of personality with occupation may have occurred in early studies of burnout. It was found that emotional demands and a lack of caring for others were associated with the measure of burnout only for that psychological type which is overrepresented in the human services. For a different psychological type, which is overrepresented in managerial occupations, the measure of burnout was associated instead with mental demands and lower ambitiousness. This suggests that previous findings about burnout may merely be a product of research being conducted in an occupation, the human services, within which is a predominance of a particular psychological type. * This paper is based on research conducted for the author's doctoral dissertation, Alfred P. Sloan School of Management, 1985. 'I' Request for reprints. j: It is largely the claim that such jobs are more prone to burnout than others (Carroll & White, 1982, p.46). that has justified the continuation of the tradition of selecting the human services as a research site. This is in spite of the lack of empirical evidence to support such a notion. Indeed, what limited empirical evidence there is suggests that students score higher on measures of burnout than human service workers (see Pines et al., 1981, p. 172; and Garden, 1985a, p. 5 1). Persons who are oriented to life primarily through thinking typically develop strong powers of analysis, objectivity in weighting events with regard to logical outcomes and a tough-minded scepticism. Persons who are oriented to life primarily through feeling typically develop sensitivity to questions of what matters most to people, a need for affiliation, capacity for warmth, (and) a desire for harmony (McCaulley, 1981, p. 300).

“…The popularity of the MBTI exists despite concerns about the psychometric properties of the dimensions. Those concerns range from the factor structure of the scales, whether the dimensions are type versus continuous, the presence of dominant and auxiliary functions, and whether the scales fully measure the dimensions they intend to measure (Devito, 1985, Mendelsohn, 1965, Sundberg, 1965, and Stricker & Ross, 1964. Quenk (2000) indicates that a number of these concerns have been addressed in the more recent revision (Form M -1998) of the instrument.…”
