TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Relationship of Myers Briggs type indicator personality characteristics to suicidality in affective disorder patients JO - Journal of psychiatric research A1 - Janowsky, David S. A1 - Morter, Shirley A1 - Hong, Liyi SP - 33 EP - 39 VL - 36 IS - 1 N2 - The current study characterized the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality profiles of 64 suicidal and 30 non-suicidal psychiatric inpatients with affective disorder diagnoses. The MBTI divides individuals categorically into eight personality preferences (Extroverted and Introverted, Sensing and Intuitive, Thinking and Feeling, and Judging and Perceiving). Compared to the group of non-suicidal affective disorder patients, suicidal affective disorder patients were significantly more Introverted and Perceiving using ANCOVA analyses, and significantly more Introverted alone using Chi Square analyses.
