Xuechao Li, Po-Chou Shih, Yundt Daniel · 2018
In this paper, we describe an empirical study carried out to investigate the effects of Intuition and Sensing personality types in programming performance using Myer-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) model. This formal experiment was conducted at Auburn University and participants were first-year students in an introductory programming course. Our results showed: (1) Intuition and Sensing personality traits did affect students' programming performance; (2) students with the Intuition type significantly wrote more efficient code that students with Sensing type; and (3) a significant linear correlation existed between Intuition and programming performance.
