Abstract
Personality Function Pairs and their effect on 360-Feedback Reports Cooper Drose, Keith Eigel, Ph.D, Sara Musgrove, Ph.D. Abstract For years, researchers in psychology have researched the impact of one’s personality type and what effects it has on their everyday lives; however, there has been a lack of research on each person’s personality function pair. The personality function pair is the middle two letters in someone’s four-letter personality code, (Golden, 1979) often labeled as their decision-making style (Sefcik, Prerost, Arbet, 2009). For this study, we compiled data from the past 8 years and have a total of 609 participants. We sought to discover a relationship between subjects’ function pairs using the Golden Personality Type Indicator and their score on The Leaders Lyceum 360-Feedback Report (Eigel & Musgrove, 2013). We hypothesized that the “Sensing Feeling” function pair would score highest on our 360-feedback report based on The Ohio State Leadership studies. These studies found that subjects listed the two most important qualities with regard to leaders and effective leadership as “consideration” and “initiating structure” (Hemphill, Coons, 1957). Because SF’s are both empathetic and detail oriented, we hypothesized they would be most likely to score higher than the other function pairs on our 360. In our results we found that SF’s scored significantly higher than ST’s and NT’s on 26 of the 40 questions which showed significant differences, but were only significantly higher than NF’s on 3 of the 40 questions. In future research it will be important that the 360 is constructed in a way that has different portions tailored to the strengths of each function pair as this will allow for the results to better illustrate where the strengths and weaknesses of the types of minds exist.
