Comparing Initial and Final MBTI Data
The author compared initial and final MBTI Thinking/Feeling variables with the LCI-S
measure. The LCI-S data did not change. All initial and final MBTI data variables are as follows:
Initial MBTI Data Variable
MB_Fav_World
MB_Information
MB_Decisions
MB_Structure
Final MBTI Data Variable
MB_Final_Fav_World
MB_Final_Information
MB_Final_Decisions
MB_FinalStructure
The initial data range for all MBTI variables was 0-67. For final MBTI data variables,
ranges were adjusted to reflect actual ranges of -67 to+67. Because of the adjustments, the final
range for all variables was 0-134.
The possible and actual data ranges for initial and final MBTI variables differed. The
following chart summarizes the differences:

Correlation Conclusion between MBTI Initial and Final Data
In the first assignment, the author compared MBTI-Thinking/Feeling (Final) with the
LCI_S data. For this assignment, the author first compared the LCI_S measure with MBTIThinking/Feeling (Initial) data. The correlation chart below shows no significance between the
two data sets. In addition, the Pearson Correlation shows a negative correlation between the two
sets.

The author next compared final data using the LCI_S measure and the MBTIThinking/Feeling (Final) data. The LCI_S data did not change between initial and final
comparison. The correlation chart shows no significance between the two data sets again.
However, the Pearson Correlation shows a positive correlation between the two data sets which
is different from the first comparison.

Scatter Graph Comparison between Initial and Final Data
The first chart is a scatter plot graph of the LCI_S measure and initial MBTI
Thinking/Feeling data. The second chart is a scatter plot of the LCI_S measure and final MBTI
Thinking/Feeling data.
