A Description of Psychological Type at the Defense Systems Management College

Abstract

This paper describes the psychological type as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator of a representative sample of more than 2,800 students who have attended the Defense Systems Management College (DSMC) since 1985. This study addressed the contributions and potential pitfalls that personnel with each Myers-Briggs Type bring to an organization and implications for leaders who must work in a possibly changing work force. This descriptive analysis may enable all who work in the defense acquisition environment to understand their coworkers better and, in this understanding, to enhance the overall acquisition process.
