ABSTRACT:
The relationship between the personality characteristics of 182 American football players and the positions they played on the team as well as their relative success were investigated using the Myers-Briggs type Indicator (MBTI). The data were analyzed using MULTIQUAL, a computer program for the log-linear analysis of complex contingency tables. In addition to the classification resulting from the MBTI scoring, the players were classified according to whether they played offense or defense, the line or backfield, and on either the first or second string or at some other level. Odds ratios were also computed for single MBTI scales and combinations of scales. The results indicated that for all positions the preferences tended to be the Thinking mode for the most successful player. Also, the successful linemen tended to prefer the Sensing mode, the successful offensive backs preferred the Intuition mode, and the successful defensive backs tended to be Introverted. The odds ratios suggested that the observed results might be of practical value. Investigates the relationship between the personality characteristics of American football players (n=182), their positions on the team, and their relative success. Classifies players according to the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, and according to whether they play offense or defense, line or backfield, and first or second string. Finds that, for all positions, the characteristics tend to be towards the thinking mode (i.e. realistic, analytic, logical, demands efficiency, objective, reliant on facts) for the most successful player.
