Johtajien käyttäytymisen jakognitiivisen tyylin luokittelussa käytetään Myers-Briggs tyyppi-indikaattoria. Strategiaa analysoidaan hyödyntäen Milesin ja Snown organisaatiotypologiaa.

Tosiasialliset tyypit pitävät parempana analysoijan tai puolustajan strategiaa ja intuitiiviset tyypit analysoijan tai kullankaivajan strategiaa. Tutkimuksen mukaan tosiasialliset ja ajattelevat johtoryhmät puolestaan ovat taipuvaisia valitsemaan analysoijan tai puolustajan strategian. Intuitiiviset ja ajattelevat johtoryhmät suosivat joko analysoijan tai kullankaivajan strategiaa.\u003Cbr>Kokonaisuutena tulokset tukevat johtajien ja johtoryhmien itsetuntemuksen merkitystä .
