The
ability of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
to predict performance on social-cognitive tasks tapping information
processing
effort was assessed. Judgment and
Intuition interacted to predict amount of attributional adjustment on a
dispositional attribution task. The MBTI
scales predicted processing above and beyond measures of the five
factors,
rational-experiential preferences, and causal uncertainty.
The relevance of these studies for
interpretation of the MBTI indices is discussed.
