“…Differences in MBTI profiles have been found between supervisors and supervisees (Carey & Williams, 1986;Craig & Sleight, 1990), and supervisee preference for relationship-oriented versus task-oriented supervision (Lochner & Melchert, 1997), but the MBTI has yielded inconsistent results regarding the effects on supervisee evaluation (Carey & Williams, 1986;Handley, 1982). In addition, some evidence exists for matching effects for theoretical orientation between supervisors and supervisees on the supervisory relationship (Kennard, Stewart, & Gluck, 1987;Ramos-Sánchez et al, 2002) and preference for supervisory style (Lochner & Melchert, 1997) but appears to have less impact than other relationship factors (Schacht, Howe, & Berman, 1989;Wetchler, 1989). Bernard and Goodyear regarded these studies as indications of individual differences in information processing and suggested that supervisors need to develop the ability to flexibly respond to supervisees with differing cognitive or learning styles.…”
