Peer reviewedThompson, Bruce; Borrelo, Gloria M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 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…

The present study was a psychometric evaluation of two recently revised Jungian personality instruments, the Singer-Loomis Type Deployment Inventory (SL-TDI) and the Personal Preferences Self-Description Questionnaire (PPSDQ). The study also examined the relationship between Jungian personality dimensions and the Five-Factor Model of personality…

Peer reviewedArnau, Randolph C.; Thompson, Bruce; Rosen, David H. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 1999
Evaluates the psychometric properties of two alternative Jungian personality measures, the Singer-Loomis Type Deployment Inventory and the Personal Preferences Self-Description Questionnaire. Evidence suggests that both the measures of Jungian constructs yielded reasonably reliable and valid scores. Asserts that both measures have potential…

This study was conducted to investigate the construct validity of scores on the Personal Preferences Self-Description Questionnaire (PPSDQ), a measure of Jungian types. Confirmatory factor analysis methods were used to investigate the structures underlying PPSDQ responses of 641 university students. The model fit statistics were generally…

Thompson, Bruce; Borrello, Gloria M. – 1989
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) measures variations in normal personality. The validity of the measure has only recently been examined by analyses of the structure underlying MBTI responses; and these investigations have used exploratory factor analyses, rather than confirmatory factor analytic methods. A confirmatory factor analysis was…

Melancon, Janet G.; Thompson, Bruce – 1989
This study investigated the nature of field independence by exploring the structure underlying responses to Forms A and B of a multiple-choice measure of field-independence, the Finding Embedded Figures Test (FEFT). Subjects included 302 students (52.7% male) enrolled in mathematics courses at a university in the southern United States. Students…
