Accounting Education and Careers Personality Traits and Psychology Learning Styles and Cognitive Differences

Abstract

This study examined the psychological type distribution of a cohort of UK-based undergraduate students (n = 344). taking an introductory-level Accounting course as part of a degree in business management. Comparisons were made, using SRTT (selection ratio type tables) analysis, between ‘top performers’ (the upper quartile) and ‘poor performers’ (lower quartile) in order to establish whether accounting performance was associated with any of the personality traits identified by the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI). No significant relationships between the MBTI personality traits and accounting performance were found.
