“…The research questions addressed are related to the overall theory that instruction is most effective when it ''fits'' with the individual student's needs, which was best articulated by Pocius (1991) who wrote, ''Understanding the effects of personality variables on computer use can be used to improve the quality of human-computer interaction. .…”

Web-based computer-aided instruction (CAI) has become increasingly important to medical curricula. This multi-year study investigated the effectiveness of CAI and the factors affecting level of individual use. Three CAI were tested that differed in specificity of applicability to the curriculum and in the level of student interaction with the CAI. Student personality preferences and learning styles were measured using the Meyers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI). Information on ''computer literacy'' and use of CAI was collected from student surveys. Server logs were used to quantify individual use of respective CAI. There was considerable variability in the level of utilization of each CAI by individual students. Individual use of each CAI differed and was associated with gender, MBTI preferences and learning style, but not with ''computer literacy.'' The majority of students found the CAI useful for learning and used the CAI by themselves. Students who accessed the CAI resources most frequently scored significantly higher on exams compared with students who never accessed the resources. Our results show that medical students do not uniformly use CAI developed for their curriculum and this variability is associated with various attributes of individual students. Our data also provide evidence of the importance of understanding student preferences and learning styles when implementing CAI into the curriculum.

“…There are already indications of this from previous work: spatial ability appears to be well-established as a factor [17], HCI research points to extraversion [11], and Green et al [6] have made the discovery that locus of control may be particularly significant for complex visualization use. This work is just the beginning, however.…”

“…Nonetheless, such studies, including those summarized in an early review by Pocius [11] have suggested that personality can affect interface use at a deeper level. For example, this meta-analysis indicated that introversion is consistently positively correlated with both programming ability and performance with computer-assisted instruction tasks.…”

“…Històricament, els investigadors s'han ocupat de la personalitat dels desenvolupadors de software, com ho demostren diferents investigacions (Bartol i Martin, 1982;Cruz, Silva, Monteiro, Santos i Dos Santos, 2011;Pocius, 1991;Varona, Capretz, Piñero i Raza, 2012). Es mostren en la majoria de les investigacions intents per identificar la relació entre els patrons emocionals, motivacionals i comportamentals de l'entorn de desenvolupament desoftware, per tal d'analitzar quin desenvolupador s'ajusta millor en una tasca determinada, el que permetrà crear equips més eficaços (Cruzi al., 2011).…”

ResumLa personalitat dels professionals de programació informàtica ha estat un element continu d'interès en la investigació acadèmica. Els investigadors han aplicat diferents models d'anàlisi de la personalitat d'aquells professionals, en diverses àrees de l'enginyeria de software per identificar punts de millora, per promoure la satisfacció laboral i per organitzar millor els equips.Aquest treball té com a objectiu realitzar un estudi, a través d'un relat d'experiència, per avaluar el model de personalitat MBTI -Myers-Briggs Type Indication-aplicat als desenvolupadors de programació i per entendre com la personalitat humana influeix en el treball dels professionals. L'experiència s'aplicà en una universitat privada a sis professionals de programació informàtica, per mesurar la qualitat del software desenvolupat per mitjà
