Psychological type proposes that patterns in the way individuals perceive and judge experience can be understood and reasonably identified. A variety of tools have been used to explore the preferences and patterns that are predicted by the theory.
After fifty years of research, hundreds of books and articles on psychological type, the professional community is asking for new evidence supporting the most complex aspect of the theory. In addition to preferences, the theory proposes that there are dynamic relationships among the processes, and development in the uses of these processes can enrich human experience.
The purpose of this research Forum is to take up the question of the empirical evidence of the dynamics of the types and the efficacy of type development. Researchers and Writers are invited to prepare papers to take up the question: Is there sound evidence for the validity of type theory, especially type dynamics and type development?
Qualitative and quantitative research is invited. Researchers who may use a variety of tools are invited to participate in this forum. Psychometrically sound tools and complex research methods are required for papers to receive consideration.
