Although writing is an inseparable part of people’s everyday lives and an integral part of all external exams, it seems to be neglected both by teachers and students of English as a foreign language. One of the reasons might be the fact that the array of activities developing writing skills in textbooks is not varied enough and does not cater for every student’s needs. The author decided to conduct research in order to examine how the textbooks teach writing skills and the educational content contained in them is introduced by means of tasks appropriate for students representing different types of personality. Three textbooks to teach English in secondary schools (Checkpoint B1+ – Macmillan Polska, Focus 3 Second Edition – Pearson), Vision 3 – Oxford University Press) were analysed. Research work consisted in classifying each exercise aimed at developing writing skills to a certain personality type. The classification was based on the description of personality types made by George Jensen and John DiTiberio. The study showed that altogether in three selected textbooks there are 269 activities developing writing skills, most of which are adequate for introverts (69), thinking (40) and sensing (38) types. There is, on the other hand, a relatively small number of exercises suitable for intuition (10), feeling (6) and judging (5) types. The results of the research might be used by publishing houses in their pursuit to create a textbook meeting needs of students of different personalities. For teachers, the following analysis might be helpful in designing their writing lessons in such a way they help their students excel in writing for both everyday and exam purposes.

The significance of learners’ personality in language learning/teaching contexts has often been cited in literature but few studies have scrutinized the role it can play in technology-oriented language classes. In modern language teaching/learning contexts, personality differences are important and should be taken into account. This study determined university students’ introvert/extrovert personality types and examined their perception/ attitudes towards web-based language learning. The participants of the study who were selected through purposive sampling were 40 BA students of EFL, 22 female and 18 male. The participants attended blended classes that incorporated use of the Internet (Edublogs). Quantitative data were collected via the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) (1975) and two modified web-based language learning attitude/perception questionnaires (Gilmore, 1998; Slate, Manuel, & Brinson, 2002). Interviews were conducted to reveal insights concerning the advantages/disadvantages of integrating use of the Internet from the participants’ perspectives. T-test analyses did not indicate significant differences in attitudes between extroverts and introverts. Qualitative results indicated most of the participants considered internal, external, and psychological factors associated with the Internet use to be motivating, exciting, and stimulating. The study has implications for teachers and practitioners, particularly in blended, language learning classrooms.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between personality types and sense of humor and their association with teachers’ performance improvement. This descriptive study followed a correlational design. Based on Morgan’s table, a corpus of 201 elementary school teachers in Nehbandan was selected as a sample, using the stratified random sampling method. The data collection tools were the Williams and Anderson Task Performance Scale (1991), the Eysenck Personality Inventory (1975), and the Moghimi and Ramazani Sense of Humor Questionnaire (2001). The results indicated that extraversion was significantly and positively related to the teachers’ performance and sense of humor and neuroticism was significantly and negatively correlated with the teachers’ performance and sense of humor. Moreover, a significant and positive relationship was found between a sense of humor and the teachers’ performance improvement. Furthermore, the results of regression analysis demonstrated that extraversion, neuroticism, and a sense of humor could predict the teachers’ performance.

This paper presents a novel approach to the team building emphasizing group-related attributes of potential candidates instead of focusing on their individual characteristics during the recruitment process. The main assumption is that the teamwork capabilities are equally if not more important than individual skills or competences when selecting new team member. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is used for analyzing teamwork capabilities and multicriteria decision making model will be developed as a final solution.

This paper presents research on the use of C. G. Jung's personality typology in pastoral work, especially in preaching and sermons. This paper shows one of the many uses of psychology in pastoral work. Jung's typology and the related empirical methodology can be used to describe and psychologically interpret the interaction between a text and a sermon; between the preaching and the listener. Moreover, these tools also allow the theological and hermeneutic advancement in the reception of the Bible, written and spoken sermons, and to get insight into the psychological principles governing the choice of content and style of preaching. One of the most important research advancements in this domain is the SIFT Method of Biblical Interpretation and Liturgical Preaching. Research results may help preachers reflect upon their practice and make them prone to use this knowledge in their pastoral practice.

The accountant’s role is subject to the scientific discourse as a fundamental paradigm change takes place, moving away from the traditional “bean counter” image towards a “business partner” of the management (Pickering, Byrnes, 2016; Richardson et al., 2015; Sorensen, 2009). As far back as 1981, Jacoby pointed out that the personality traits of a “bean counter” do not correspond to the requirements of the practice, e.g. strong soft skills and interdisciplinary qualities (Jacoby, 1981; Briggs et al., 2007). It can be observed that for decades, predominantly the “bean counter” type has continued to opt for a career in accounting (Briggs et al., 2007). The present study confirms the dominance of “bean counter” types in accountancy by applying the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) with undergraduate business students and shows that there is still no significant change observable. The analysis shows that business students are significantly more frequently extroverted, thinking, and judging than the overall population. The accounting students among them are more sensing and thinking. Specific differences can be observed between the individual majors. As a result, the talent pool for the accounting profession is more likely to have “bean counters” than “business partners”.

Rola księgowego podlega dyskursowi naukowemu jako fundamentalna zmiana paradygmatu, która odchodzi od tradycyjnego wizerunku „liczykrupyˮ w kierunku „partnera biznesowegoˮ kierownictwa (Pickering, Byrnes, 2016; Richardson et al., 2015; Sorensen, 2009). Już w 1981 roku Jacoby wskazał, że cechy osobowości „liczykrupyˮ nie odpowiadają wymogom praktyki, np. silne umiejętności miękkie i cechy interdyscyplinarne (Jacoby, 1981; Briggs i in., 2007). Można zaobserwować, że przez dziesięciolecia głównie typ „liczykrupyˮ decydował się na karierę w księgowości (Briggs et al., 2007). Przeprowadzone badanie potwierdza dominację typów „liczykrupyˮ w księgowości w wyniku zastosowania wskaźnika typu Myers-Briggs (MBTI) w kontekście studentów biznesowych studiów licencjackich i pokazuje, że nadal nie zaobserwowano istotnej zmiany. Z analizy wynika, że studenci biznesowi są znacznie częściej ekstrawertyczni, rozumni i oceniający niż cała populacja. Studenci rachunkowości są szczególnie wrażliwi i myślący. Konkretne różnice można zaobserwować między poszczególnymi kierunkami studiów. W rezultacie pula talentów w zawodzie księgowego jest bardziej prawdopodobna w przypadku „liczykrupyˮ niż w przypadku „partnerów biznesowychˮ.
