다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this present study was to test the validity of MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) through the relational analysis between MBTI and SPDI(Standardized Personality Diagnosis Inventory). There were 505 people involved in the study. This included 191 high school students, 199 college students and 115 adults. The experiment used on these people was MBTI and SPDI. The data was analyzed to see the relation between the traits of SPDI and four preference indicators of MBTI. The results of the study were as follows ; First, the E indicator of MBTI and SPDI, which include Emotional stability, Dominance, Sociability, Masculinity, Impulsiveness and Superiority, have high positive relations in the context of the relationships between the traits of SPDI and four preference indicators of MBTI. The same is true for the I indicator of MBTI and Reflectiveness, Conformity, Depression, Anxiety, Paranoid tendency, Autism, Nervousness of SPDI. The S indicator of MBTI and Responsibility, Conformity of SPDI have meaningful positive relations and the same is true for the relations between T indicator and Emotional stability, Dominance, Responsibility, Reflectiveness, Masculinity, F indicator and Sociability, Conformity, Impulsiveness, Nervousness, J indicator and Responsibility, Reflectiveness, Conformity, P indicator and Sociability, Masculinity, Impulsiveness. Second, referring to the differences between four function types of MBTI and SPDI, ST type is higher in Responsibility, Masculinity, SF type is higher in Conformity, NT type is higher in Emotional stability, Dominance, Reflectiveness and Masculinity, NF type is higher in Sociability, Impulsiveness more than any other type. Third, regarding the differences between four temperament types of MBTI and SPDI, SP temperament is meaningfully higher in Impulsiveness, Conformity, Anxiety, Nervousness of SPDI than any other temperament type. The same is true for SJ temperament in Responsibility, Conformity, NT temperament in Emotional stability, Responsibility, Reflectiveness, Masculinity, NF temperament in Sociability, Impulsiveness. The results synthesized from this study are as follows ; Four preference indicators of MBTI have very meaningful relations with the traits of SPDI, four function types and four temperament types of MBTI also have meaningful differences compared with the traits of SPDI. Therefore, the result of this study supports that MBTI based on the psychological typology by Carl Jung is a very useful instrument for human understanding.
