The ‘human factor’ is often seen as a weak link in cyber-security, and many organizations have gone to great lengths to help their employees become less susceptible to phishing and other cyber-attacks. This can involve putting in systems and processes, as well as staff training and education. However, a ‘one size fits all’ approach may not always be effective; individual differences exist in all aspects of human behavior, and cyber-security is unlikely to be an exception.  \nThis study set out to examine the relationship between cyber-security behavior and personality type, as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment. This is so that personality-based cyber-security guidelines could be developed. The MBTI model looks at four areas of personality type (Extraversion or Introversion, Sensing or Intuition, Thinking or Feeling and Judging or Perceiving) and at how these areas combine dynamically to describe the whole person.  \nBy helping individuals become more aware of their strengths and blind spots, and by offering personality-based hints and tips, the intention is to improve the IT security behavior of individuals and thereby the safety of organizations.  \nResults  \n563 people completed an online survey, answering questions on their personality type, their background (gender, age, country, job role and level, organization size and type) and their cybersecurity attitudes, behaviors and knowledge. The headline findings were as follows:  \n- Cyber-attacks are an issue. 64% said they had experienced cyber-attacks in the last year, 30% in the last month, 15% in the last week. Older respondents and those in management or sales jobs had experienced more attacks. Men were more likely to have experienced recent attacks than women.  \n- People are aware of the dangers of cyber-attacks. In general, survey respondents took cyber-security seriously. 82% agreed or strongly agreed that “A data breach would be disastrous for my organization” and only 13% agreed or strongly agreed that “If my organization did have a data breach, it would only be a public relations issue”.  \n- Security behavior is mostly good. Most respondents reported good security behaviors (such as using a password) and were less likely to report having poor behaviors (such as leaving a note of the password next to their computer) . On average, respondents scored above the mid-point on three scales of cyber-security attitude and behavior. The three scales were Conscientiously follows rules (3.74 on a 5-point scale), Keeps passwords and devices secure (4.00), and Knowledge-informed carefulness (3.44) .  \n- Short versions of each of these scales have been produced and individuals can use them to assess their own cyber-security atti","cbCaisGGzFSm11Qa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisGGzFSm11Qa","pdf",873465,46,"English","# Executive summary\n## Purpose and scope\n## Results\n## Introduction and methodology\n## Appendices","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose and scope of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study examined the relationship between cyber-security behavior and personality type using MBTI results.
