Construct Validity of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
Thompson, Bruce; Borrelo, Gloria M.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v46 n3 p745-52 Aut 1986
The structure and item performance of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was investigated using data from 39 college students. Factor analysis was applied to the items, factor adequacy and invariance coefficients were computed, and the appropriateness of the recommended item weights was examined. Results strongly supported the instrument's construct validity. (Author/LMO)
