ABSTRACT (ABSTRACT)
In a study, 331 individuals between the ages of 35 and 55 of five temperament types significantly correlated with
thinking about and anxiety about death.
ABSTRACT
Individuals (N = 331) between the ages 35 and 55 completed a death concern scale and a temperament type sorter
and provided information relative to the intensity of and their ability to identify a midlife crisis event. Participants were
classified within temperament types by gender, education level, crisis intensity, and ability to identify the crisis event.
Five temperament types (ESTJ [extrovert, sensing, thinking, judging], ESFJ [extrovert, sensing, feeling, judging],
ISFJ [introvert, sensing, feeling, judging], ISTJ [introvert, sensing, thinking, judging], and ENFP [extrovert, intuitive,
feeling, perceiving]) significantly correlated with thinking about and anxiety about death. Gender and education level,
as well as crisis intensity, also correlated significantly with death concerns. Temperament type characteristics that
may have relevancy to the findings are discussed.
