Personality is a key resource shaping individuals’ success, happiness, and achievement. This study examines sensing (S) and intuition (N) personality dimensions among selected business school students across Gujarat state and evaluates statistical differences across demographic variables. Using the NERIS Type Explorer® Scale with 1,067 management students, 69.5% (742) were classified with a dominating S personality dimension and 30.5% (325) with N. Findings align with earlier research on S versus N differences by demographic factors.

The study explores the sensing and intuitive personality dimensions of selected business school students across Gujarat state. Further, the study explores statistical differences in terms of various demographic aspects. NERIS Type Explorer® Scale was used to check the personality type of a total of 1067 management students. 69.5 per cent (742) of the respondents have a Sensing (S) personality dimension compared to 30.5 per cent (325) Intuition (N) personality dimension as dominating type. The conclusions of this research study are also reinforced by past research work which confirms that there are noteworthy differences between Sensing (S) and Intuitive (N) personality dimensions regarding selected demographic variables.

Introduction Personality theory is a Psychological Type which was established by Carl Jung to elucidate some of the casual differences in an individual’s behaviour. Carl Jung established analytical psychology, which distinguished the collective unconscious from the personal unconscious, and which imitates the common unconscious views of humans. Jung’s theory is the most noted contribution of psychology, due to its characterizations of introversion and extroversion2 . Carl Jung’s (1921/1971) theory is that the differences in human behaviour are because of the reasonable consequences of rare undeveloped noticeable likings. He outlined two types which include introverts and extroverts, and which help to elucidate individual differences in personalities. Furthermore, he separated his preliminary arrangements into more categories which include two opposite perceiving functions: Sensation (S) and Intuition (N) and two contradictory judging functions: Thinking (T) and Feeling (F). Carl Jung identified eight different personality types. These alignments are the pair of two attitudes.3 ▪ Introversion and Extroversion ▪ Four functions namely thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition Jung’s psychological types theory was based on introspection, clinical observation, and anecdote. Jung’s theory hypothesized four cognitive functions, which are thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition respectively; they have polar alignmentsi.e. extraversion or introversion. This gives a total of eight (08) leading functions. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) studies types of personality empirically. The questionnaires of MBTI are based on four bipolar preferences. It determines the comparative preference of one over the other.4 Intuition is a straight practice in the world. It is also based on the awareness of total basic facts identical to sensation, ones that make available the raw material for the thinking and feeling functions. It varies sensation in many ways, like they are regularly adding and deducting essentials from conscious sensation and are creative. (Jung, 1971) .5 2 D. C.
