Abstract

This study identified personality types and their relationship to the occupational environments of workers in Jordan, as well as the extent of the differences in the personality types among them. The scales used were developed and verified for their validity, stability, and reliability, and given to workers of both genders in various occupational environments. The means, standard deviations, and multivariate analysis of variance findings were extracted according to participants’ personality types, occupational environments, and gender. The extraversion personality type is higher than the introversion one among both men and women, but they differ in the ranking of other personality types. Respondents’ answers to the judging personality type had the highest rank, while the perceiving type had the lowest rank, among both genders. Further, we found statistically significant differences in personality types between men and women, with there being no statistically significant differences in the extraversion and introversion personality types among these groups in different occupational environments. We then conclude with various recommendations that would provide opportunities for individuals at school, university, and in different occupational environments with which to learn about their personality and how well they are suited to each occupational environment.
