Resumen de Applying the MBTI® to Hospitality Education
Brett W. Horton, Irvine Clarke, Stephen D Welpott
This study examines the personality profiles of 221 hospitality and tourism management students using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Form G. The study concludes that hospitality students substantially over represent the extraverted profile compared to the US college graduate population as a whole. This deviation from the population, along with deviations relative to the 16 individual profiles, is examined relative to the implications to hospitality education and industry training. The study suggests that the profile of the student must be considered to be most effective in the classroom.
