摘要
Students whose dominant personality type was incongruent with the academic environment in which they majored gained about equally in abilities and interests pertinent to that environment as did students whose dominant personality type was congruent. Results are interpreted in terms of a socialization dynamic being more prevalent than a personality dynamic. Comparisons are made with an earlier, related study that presented ostensibly contradictory results.
