Abstract
The study aimed to empirically prove sixteen psychological types based
on the theory of C.G. Jung and the work of K.C. Briggs and I. Briggs
Myers. A thousand one hundred and fifty-three adults aged from 18 to 69
completed the Golden Profiler of Personality (GPOP) questionnaire. The
differences between percentiles rank score in the opposition preferences
of the global dimensions (extroverted (E) / introverting (I), sensing
(S)/ intuition (N), thinking (T) / feeling (F), judging (J) / perceiving
(P)) entered K-means cluster analysis. The results of the analysis
empirically confirmed the existence of sixteen psychological types. They
differed in the raw score of all preferences significantly with a large
effect size. 37% of the research sample did not enter the cluster
analyses due to the small difference between the opposite preferences.
Not all participants had their preferences differentiated enough to be a
type; the discussion dealt with conditions of empirical confirmation of
psychological types.
