Subsequently, the similarities and differences in the personality profiles of Brazilian and Cuban software engineers are presented and the implications of such comparisons for software development are discussed. Results show that Cuban software engineers tend to be extroverts, whereas Brazilian developers tend to be introverted. Among specific personality types, there were substantial differences between the two samples with regard to ESTJ, ISTJ and INTP types (Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judgment) .  \nINTRODUCTION  \nEducators have been using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to develop teaching methods and to understand both individual learning styles and differences in motivation [1] . Software project leaders can also use this instrument to organise tasks and to delegate roles to appropriate people in order to develop efficient management methods. The MBTI utilises four dimensions of preferences, each dimension having two opposing poles that characterise a s pecific individual. Although all eight preferences can apply to a s pecific individual, there is one preference from each dimension that describes an individual’s personality most accurately. The scales and dimensions are as follows:  \na) Extroversion and Introversion (E and I): While some people are oriented towards a breadth-of-knowledge approach with quick action, others are focused on a depth-of-knowledge approach, reflecting on concepts and ideas. Jung calls these orientations extroversion and introversion.  \nb) Sensing and Intuition (S and N): Some people are attuned to the practical, hands-on, common-sense view of events, while others are more attuned to the complex interactions, theoretical implications, or new possibilities. These two styles of information gathering or perception are known as sensing and intuition respectively.  \nc) Thinking and Feeling (T and F): Some individuals typically draw conclusions or make judgments dispassionately and analytically, and others consider human factors of societal importance and make judgments with personal conviction as to their value. The first type of decision-making is known as thinking, while the other type is called feeling.  \nd) Judgment and Perception (J and P): Finally, some people prefer to collect sufficient data before setting out on a direct path to a goal, and these people typically stay on that path. Other individuals are finely attuned to changing situations and alert to new developments that may require a change of strategy or a modification of goals. These two styles are respectively referred to as the preferences for judgment or perception.  \nBased on the existence of four dimensions and two preferences per scale, there are 16 possible configurations, as presented in Table 1. If the MBTI results show that a person is ISTJ (i.e. Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judgment), then, the correct terminology is to suggest that the person prefers ISTJ.  \nThere are many practical uses for the MBTI as applied to software projects. First, software developers can improve their work habits by knowing their MBTI type and, by exhibiting different behaviours associated with each preference, learn and work more efficiently.  \nSecondly, software project managers or human resources employees can use the MBTI to assess the personality types of employees and provide, as both teachers and students do with their teaching and learning styles, advice if an individual’s behaviour conflicts with the team leader’s management style or with the rest ofthe team.  \nTable 1 : The 16 MBTI types and their distribution among the US adult population [1] .  \n\n| ISTJ\u003Cbr>11.6% | ISFJ\u003Cbr>13.8%","cbCaim09oR0tg4zA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim09oR0tg4zA","pdf",193355,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Brazilian Software Engineers","[{\"question\":\"What tool does the study use to identify software engineers’ personality types?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).\"},{\"question\":\"What main difference in personality orientation did the results show between Cuban and Brazilian engineers?\",\"answer\":\"Cuban software engineers tended to be extroverts, while Brazilian developers tended to be introverts.\"},{\"question\":\"Which specific MBTI personality types showed substantial differences between the two samples?\",\"answer\":\"The study reports substantial differences for ESTJ, ISTJ and INTP types.\"}]","Comparing Cuban and Brazilian Software Engineers | PDF",13]
