The participants were 48 college students in Angeles City, Philippines. All the students were administered with the MBTI instrument. Descriptive statistics – measures of central tendency - was used to analyze the data. General Weighted Averages (GWA) were higher in: Introversion compared to Extroversion, Sensing compared to Intuition, Judging compared to Perceiving, Thinking compared to Feeling. Moreover, results revealed that the top five Personality Types that had highest GWA’s were INFP – 2.0925, ISTJ – 2.11, INFJ – 2.23, ESFP – 2.246667 and ESTJ – 2.2542857 respectively. Surprisingly, majority of the students were ISFJ’s, which is not included in the top five Personality Types.  \nKeywords: MBTI, General Weighted Average, nursing students, academic performance  \nIntroduction  \nPersonality Types are best predictors of human behavior and motivational influences on the individual’s work performance. Research studies have drawn conclusions upon which personality type is appropriate for different functions. Personality influences the experience of emotionally significant situations and individuals vary in the manner that they relate to, or infer their situations. The approach in which they inherently do so, is said to reflect their individual personality. These alterations can be identified using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) .  \nAccording to Su-Jeong Han (2014) it uses Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type to assess and define personality. Jung developed psychological types based on four functions, namely, Feeling (F), Thinking (T), Intuition (N), and Sensing (S), plus four attitudes, namely, Extraversion (E), Introversion (I), Judging (J), and Perceiving (P) . The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the most widely used professional personality test, is a measure of personality traits. The MBTI identifies an individual’s preference in four planes. These are Introversion versus Extroversion, Intuitive Perception versus Sensing Perception, Thinking versus Feeling and finally Perceiving versus Judging.  \nHowever, according to Dodge (2014), Jungian cognitive functions is the theory that there are eight primary mental processes the brain uses to learn new information and evaluate that information, or make decisions. There are four learning functions (called “perceiving processes), and four decision-making functions (called“judging processes”) . Depending upon your Myers-Briggs type, you will have one of the learning processes and one of the decision-making processes as your favorite. The learning processes are based on the Sensor/Intuitive dichotomy, with each having an extraverted and an introverted expression, or version of itself. So, the four processes are Introverted Sensing, Extraverted Sensing, Introverted Intuition and Extraverted Intuition. The decision-making processes are based on the Thinker/Feeler dichotomy, and they also have an introverted and an extraverted expression. They are Introverted Feeling, Extraverted Feeling, Introverted Thinking and Extraverted Thinking.  \nMoreover, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was submitted to a descriptive reliability generalization (RG) analysis to characterize the variability of measurement error in MBTI scores across administrations. In general, the MBTI and its scales yielded scores with strong internal consistency and test-retest reliability estimates, although variation was observed.
