populations,within a career counseling context.For this purposethe MBTI was validated against various instruments which are currently being used forcareer counseling purposes,namely the Jung Personality Questionnaire (JPQ),the 16Personality Factor Questionnaire(16PF)and the Career Development Questionnaire(CDQ).  \nThe JPQ was selected for inclusion in this study as it is like the MBTI based on Jungiantheory and consists of scales with names similar to those of the MBTI.A great degree ofsimilarity in the results of these two instruments was thus expected.The·16PF wasincluded as its reliability and validity have been proven several times,and it is a test that isused in varying applications in South Africa.Various of the 16PF first order factors andone of the second order factors measure constructs that are related to the MBTI and itwas expected to find significant relationships between these constructs and those of theMBTI.The CDQ was included to determine the level ofcareer maturity of the researchgroup and the corresponding impact on the validity of psychological type,as the type of animmature person is prone to change more frequently than that of a mature person.  \nThe general research hypothesis was that when the MBTI,JPQ,16PF and the CDQ werecompared against each other by means of various statistical techniques,significantrelationships would be found amongst these instruments.  \nThe research group was a convenience sample that consisted of 246 university students,who followed different academical routes,but had in common the fact that they all studiedpsychology.  \nThe statistical procedures utilised in the analysis of the data included analysis offrequencies,correlational analysis,factor analysis and cross tabulations.  \nThe major findings of this study indicated that the research hypothesis was met and thatthe trends found in the raw data corresponded to a large degree with those found in recentinternational studies.The expected correlations and cross tabulations were found betweenthe MBTI and the JPQ and the 16PF,except for the introversion and the thinking  \niii
