Abstract

Using the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, the relationship between students' personality types and their performance in introductory economics is explored. In addition, the student's learning style is compared with the teacher's teaching style. Options are suggested for improvement with a variety of teaching and grading strategies that help accommodate each student's personality type and learning styles.
