Thank you for sharing your work, Luiz. It's interesting that MBTI remains a strong typological schema. If I recall my MBTI distributions correctly, the high percentages of "NT" personalities represents an impressive concentration.
Perhaps for the sake of this quiet list-serve, are you able to elaborate on a question I was considering whilst skimming your paper, please. In your final considerations, you (collectively) write: "the amount of research on the effects and influences of personality in the field is relatively small. The evidence is weak and in many cases inconclusive. More research is required if we want results that can influence the practice of software development." My question is, what influence does personality research in the contexts of various practices have, i.e. are there examples of transformative contributions? I have witnessed personality-based knowledge being usefully applied at an interpersonal (consulting) level, but the impression I have is that perhaps you have something broader in mind (such as interviewing for personality types etc)? I intend no criticism in the question, I'm merely curious.
