The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a popular tool used by psychologists working as managers' coaches in organizational contexts. Despite its popularity, few studies provide empirical evidence on the role of the MBTI as a predictor of managers' leadership-related behaviors. This article is written based on research that answers the question of how good the MBTI is to prove leadership behavior. It does so by comparing goodness-of-fit indexes of two confirmatory factor analysis models and two structural models on the personality-leadership relationship, following standards of reproducible research principles. We sampled 529 participants who were graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in business administration programs from Colombian universities. Results show conclusive evidence of the psychometric measurement of both MBTI and leadership practices, even though the relationship between MBTI and the leadership practices inventory proved to be weak.
迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标（MBTI）是组织环境中担任经理教练的心理学家常用的工具。尽管它很受欢迎，但很少有研究提供实证证据证明MBTI在预测经理与领导相关行为方面的作用。本文基于一项研究撰写，该研究回答了MBTI在证明领导行为方面的有效性如何的问题。它通过按照可重复研究原则的标准，比较两个验证性因素分析模型以及两个人格-领导关系结构模型的拟合优度指标来做到这一点。我们对529名参与者进行了抽样，他们是哥伦比亚大学工商管理专业的研究生和本科生。结果显示了MBTI和领导实践的心理测量的确凿证据，尽管MBTI与领导实践量表之间的关系被证明很弱。
