Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of giftedness in the context of C. G. Jung’s typology using the MBTI (Form F). The authors empirically confirm differences between the MBTI types of gifted students inclined toward research activity and those of the general student population. It is shown that gifted students with a propensity for research activity tend to gravitate toward the poles of Extraversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Judging, while representatives of the intuitive–thinking type demonstrate higher (compared to other types) intellectual–academic potential and achievement. The feasibility of using C. G. Jung’s psychotypology in the identification of giftedness is substantiated. The article also reports the results of an empirical study of the relationships between C. G. Jung’s typology and J. L. Holland’s personality-vocational typology. It is established that the mental functions (Sensing – Intuiting; Thinking – Feeling; Judging – Perceiving) and attitudes of consciousness (Extraversion – Introversion) influence the vocational choices of gifted students. In particular, extraverts are oriented toward social and enterprising vocational environments, whereas introverts are oriented toward realistic, conventional, and investigative environments. Gifted students who rely on intuition in decision-making prefer artistic and investigative professions, whereas sensing and thinking types tend to prefer conventional and enterprising environments. Thinking types show a pronounced preference for conventional and enterprising vocational environments. NT and NF types (which are the most successful in research activity) prefer artistic and investigative professional domains. SJ and SP types demonstrate a smaller spread between maximum and minimum indicators, which may indicate a conflict of vocational interests or some uncertainty when choosing between research-oriented and creative activities. The obtained data confirm the predictive validity of the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator in career counseling for gifted students.
