These perspectives include the study of human factors in different phases of software life cycle, effect of team performance in software development, how can a personality trait suit a particular task, and about some other miscellaneous issues. This research work aims to establish personality profiles of Pakistani software engineers using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) instrument. In this survey, we have collected personality profiles of 110 software engineers. Moreover, their preferences of software quality attributes have also been collected. Analysis of the study shows that the most prominent personality type is a combination of introversion, sensing, thinking and judging. Investigative results indicate that most of the software engineers consider usability and functionality as the most important software quality attributes.  \nKeywords: Myers-Briggs type indicator; software engineering; human factors; personality profiles; software quality attributes  \nINTRODUCTION  \nHuman factors in software engineering have different dimensions. Studies in this domain have been performed from different perspectives. Looking back two or three decades, software engineers did not have to do much social interaction in their jobs; however the situation has changed now. Human resources people do not consider knowledge in applied computing or software engineering sufficient enough to hire software professionals. They expect these candidates to have the ability to learn, capability to work in teams, oral and written communications skills, and orientation to health and wellness. In short, adaptability, communication, and stress management are seen as key talents for software professionals.  \nDeveloping a high quality and efficient software has always been a high priority in the software industry. The International Organization for Standardization and the International Electro-technical Commission, ISO/IEC 9126-1 (2001) classifies software quality  \nattributes into six categories: functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability and portability.  \nMBTI has been used in studies to illustrate personality profiles of general population as well as of software professionals (Bishop-Clark & Wheeler, 1994; Capretz, 2003; Da Cunha & Greathead, 2007; Miller & Zhichao, 2004) . However, not many references are available related to South-Asian software professionals. To acquire and study personality profiles of software engineers is vital to develop software industry in this region.  \nThe main objective of this work is to study personality profiles of Pakistani software engineers and their preference of software quality attributes. In this survey, we have collected personality profiles of 110 software engineers using MBTI questionnaire. Their software quality preferences have also been gathered and analyzed.  \nTHE MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE  \nINDICATOR (MBTI)  \nThe Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)(Meyers, McCaulley, Quenk, & Hammer, 1998) is mainly used for the classification of personality types. It has also been used to comprehend individual learning styles and preferences in inspiration. The MBTI has four dimensions of preferences, which describe a specific personality. Within each dimension, there are two opposite pairs: Extroversion -Introversion, Sensing- Intuition, Feeling - Thinking, and Perceiving - Judging. Consequently, sixteen typical personality types are defined by using combination of these four distinct types, each denoted by four letters. Although, it is possible for an individual to use all eight preferences in each of t","cbCaipcglcEaIh3H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipcglcEaIh3H","pdf",95503,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)\n# Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"What is the main objective of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to determine personality profiles of Pakistani software engineers and analyze their preferences for software quality attributes.\"},{\"question\":\"How many software engineers participated in the survey, and what tool was used?\",\"answer\":\"The survey collected data from 110 software engineers using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) questionnaire.\"},{\"question\":\"Which software quality attributes are most important according to the participants?\",\"answer\":\"Most participants consider usability and functionality as the most important software quality attributes.\"}]","Personality Profiles of Software Engineers and Their Software Quality Preferences | PDF",25]
