The instrument offers individuals an insight into where they get their energy from, how they take in information and make decisions, and the way they prefer to live their lives. The tool has many different applications including helping people to understand why they may find some occupations more rewarding than others and why certain roles can provide frustrations. Each of the 16 types has its own strengths and areas for development; however, it does not give an indicator of skills or abilities. The MBTI only really adds value when used in a developmental setting. The MBTI has been used world-wide across many different languages and cultures. Research has suggested that type theory is meaningful across all cultures but the expression and interpretation of behaviours will vary according to culture (Kendall, 1998). This means that it is particularly useful in global management development and can be used with audiences other than the white, middle class Americans on which the original research was based. The MBTI has a long history and many people have written and researched about the development and application of type. Ashridge research aims to build upon some of these previous studies: specifically, the 1998 research project carried out by Oxford Psychologists Press (Kendall, 1998), which has been used as a basis for comparison with the Ashridge data. This research, which was part of the validation study of the UK form of the MBTI, presented the first type tables for the UK population. The OPP study aims to provide ‘an important benchmark for many research initiatives such as exploring similarities and differences with other countries and cultures’ (Kendall, 1998, p5). The Ashridge study aims to develop and build upon some of these research initiatives. The data Ashridge, one of the world’s leading business schools, delivers executive education and development to individuals and organisations. As well as having a comprehensive portfolio of open programmes, Ashridge provides tailored programmes to a range of client organisations that span all industry sectors. Every year, about 5000 managers attend programmes at Ashridge; of these 42% are international programme participants. Many of these programmes have aspects of individual and team development for which participants complete a range of psychometric instruments, one of which is the MBTI. The data was collected from managers who have attended a variety of the programmes. The research was carried out in January 2011 using the reported types of over 22,000 managers who have attended both open and tailored executive education programmes in the past ten years. When the data was collected, permission was sought to use the findings for research purposes, and all data was anonymised. 11 Ashridge Business School http://www.ashridge.org.uk Ashridge MBTI Research into distribution of type The sample population Subjects in this research were all participants on management development programmes at Ashridge from 2000 to 2010. The participants ranged in age from 20 to 78. Management levels ranged from junior manager to senior executive and chief executive. The participants in this sample population came from 116 different countries: 96% were European, with 52% of the total population coming from the UK. The gender split was 76% male and 22% female with 2% unspecified. The largest individual industry sectors are manufacturing with 24%, and public sector workers with 25% of the sample population. Aims of research The research had the following aims, the findings of which are summarised later: n to build on previous research and explore further some of the differences that exist in the distribution of types n to compare managerial type tables with the UK population and examine differences that exists. Anecdotal evidence suggested that some types more than others seemed to appear in management. The research aimed to discover the extent to which this is true and, if this is the case, which were the more prevalent n previous research has suggested that there are some gender differences in the MBTI, specifically around the dichotomies of Thinking and Feeling (Kendall, 1998). This research aimed to see if these patterns still held true when looking at a managerial population n limited research has examined differences in type distribution within Europe. This research aimed to see if there were any significant differences in the distribution of type for European managers n again, limited research is available about the distribution of managers across industry sector. This research aimed to go some way to providing this data n finally, to provide resources for MBTI users to use with their clients both individually and at an organisational level. The findings The MBTI is different from many other psychometric instruments in that it is not normative; therefore it is more useful to look at whole types and the frequency with which they appear in different populations. Research has been carried out on the population distribution of type within the UK (Kendall, 1998) and this study aimed to extend this by looking at type distributions for managers across different countries and industries. To be able to make conclusions on whether a certain group of people differ significantly in the type distribution to the general population, we used a formula called the Self Selection Ratio (SSR). This calculates whether a certain type is more or less likely to self-select into an area than would be suspected. A score of greater than one means that more of that type than would be expected are found in this area, a score of less than one shows an under-representation of this type, while a score of one means you would find as many as the general population mean. 2 Ashridge Business School http://www.ashridge.org.uk Ashridge MBTI Research into distribution of type n Modal types The modal type for Ashridge’s management population is ESTJ (22.5%), followed by ENTJ, ISTJ and ENTP. The least frequent types are ISFP, INFJ, ESFP and INFP. This demonstrates the most pronounced findings; the under-representation of people with a Feeling preference in management. 86% of Ashridge managers had a reported Thinking preference compared to the general population where 46% had this reported type. Also pronounced was the difference in Sensing and Intuition; in the management population, this was split 50/50: however, in a UK population only 23% of people report a preference for Intuition. n Gender differences In the UK population, the Thinking-Feeling dichotomy is the only one that shows some gender differences, with women being more likely to report a Feeling preference than men (70% women compared to 35% men). This pattern does not hold true for a managerial population, where more women (76%) had a reported preference for Thinking. This is the same pattern that male managers display. This finding would provide the basis for interesting research into why this occurs; are women managers more similar to their male counterparts, or do they adopt behaviours that they see as the norm in a managerial population? n European differences The UK managerial patterns are also true when looking at Europe. Across the European countries represented in the type tables, the modal types seem to be ESTJ, ENTJ and ISTJ followed by ENTP. Over half of all European managers had a TJ preference. n Industry differences Industry sector type tables were calculated by breaking down the total Ashridge type table into industry sectors. Self-selection ratios were used to look at how specific industry sectors compared to the general managerial population. For most industries there were no significant differences in type distribution according to the industry sector. Some differences did occur: for example, in retail, ENTP was over-represented compared to the general managerial population. However the modal types still remained the same with ESTJ, ENTJ and ISTJ dominant.

The striking difference though is in the prevalence of managers generally reporting to have a Thinking preference and the under-representation of managers with a Feeling preference. n Type tables for European managers show no significant difference in profiles across different countries n There does not appear to be a significant difference in managerial types across different industry sectors. Conclusion The main aim of the research was to provide type practitioners with up-to-date type tables. The research indicated that there are some significant differences in the types found in management compared to the general UK population. The Ashridge study has raised some interesting questions that could form the basis for further research. For instance, the research was based on reported types and it would be useful to see how this may differ from their ‘best-fit’. More specifically, looking at some of the biases that seem to occur, it would be valuable to gain an understanding of whether managers are recognising that in order to cope with a managerial role, they need to develop the ability to behave in ways typically reported for ESTJ, ENTJ, ISTJ or ENTP types. 4 Ashridge Business School http://www.ashridge.org.uk Ashridge MBTI Research into distribution of type Recommended reading n Briggs Myers, Isabel and Myers, Peter B.
