This study examined Myers-Briggs Type Indicator scores of men and women college students in a course on career development across selected variables related to career status. The variables were decidedness on college major, expressed interests and perceived competencies. The Indicator and an information form on career status were administered. Scores were converted to continuous scores on each of the four scales, Extraversion-Introversion, Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling, and Judgment-Perception. Also, regular scoring procedures classified subjects into personality type and combination type categories. Career status and personality relationships were then examined using analysis of variance and chi squared. Several significant relationships were found and their use for personality and self-concept exploration in career development was supported
