| Abstract: | The article discusses the relationship between learning style preferences of students through their Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) scores and performance in four test categories in an undergraduate corporate finance course. The MBTI is an excellent tool for examining student performance issues. The MBTI is based on theoretical work by psychoanalyst Carl Jung, who observed that certain psychological preferences play a major role in judgment and interaction with the world. MBTI intuitive types tend to be more frequently found at the highest levels of corporate and financial management levels. This argues that sensing types, who tend to be drawn into business and excel in traditional educational settings and testing formats, would benefit from increased exposure to the intuitive approach. Finance instructors should encourage students to examine and analyze the overview, patterns, and connections between the material to approach problems in a creative and innovative way and to grasp abstractions and complexities. The article suggests that testing and teaching styles and course content may influence students' performance. |
