A Study on Relationship Between Decision-making Behaviour and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

This paper investigates the relationship between a famous personality model, Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and decision-making behavior. As Van Damme (1999) suggests that studying decision-making behavior from psychological perspective can bring out more realization about choice behavior.

The facts motive the present research to take MBTI personality model as the instrument and further detect the relationship.

The result shows that there is a weak link between decision-making behavior and MBTI
