An Analysis of Cognitive Style for USAF Civil Engineering Officers.

Abstract

This thesis used the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and a demographic survey to examine the cognitive styles of Air Force civil engineering officers. The survey population was comprised of continuing education students attending the Air Force Institute of Technology, School of Civil Engineering. The MBTI evaluates cognitive preferences using four separate scales to determine an individuals cognitive style. MBTI results were used to obtain a composite profile of cognitive style for Air Force civil engineering officers. The demographic data was used to analyze factors influencing cognitive style among civil engineering officers.
