Abstract
A test-retest study of the Myers-Briggs Type indicator over 20 months yielded findings similar to those in previous studies of the instrumen t. However, an additional examination of type dynamics using loglinear analyses indicated that dominant thinking and dominant sensing did no t retest as well as did dominant intuition and feeling for this group of 99 master's students. Although the psychometric properties of the i nstrument could have been a factor, environmental presses appeared to have been the primary influence on these results.
