JPT Research Digest
From The Editor
This year, the Digest focuses on a key element of the MBTI® system: providing people with greater insights into themselves and others.
We begin with a study with an online Reddit MBTI Forum—a community that enables sharing, understanding, and application of the MBTI—with the objective of achieving greater acceptance and appreciation of diversity.
The science of heroism is a relatively new academic field, and our second featured article explores how one's personal story, understanding of self, and hero's journey may translate into leadership. Leadership and entrepreneurial attitudes are also explored in our third article that focuses on subtle gender, age, and personality-preference differences that refine our understanding of these factors.
The final two articles focus on the use of the MBTI in medical and health fields. One presents a discussion of why metacognition is an important part of training for Physical Therapy graduate students and should be incorporated into curriculum guidelines. The final article is a review of research using the MBTI assessment in medical education.
The Digest ends with a highlight of a dissertation that explores the important question of which theoretical focus psychologists should identify when they elect their sub-specialty. Using the MBTI Step II and a phenomenological approach, the author elicits valuable insights about students' personal quests to reach this important decision.
