Abstract
The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine the relationship between personality and preference for various types of information when making human capital decisions related to employee education programs. Specifically, the relationship between leaders’ personalities as identified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and preferences for types of information as identified through qualitative interview was examined. Information types include qualitative and quantitative information that applies to formative and summative evaluation contexts. The results suggest that a relationship does exist between MBTI type and information preferences. Recommendations may help evaluators to report findings that are relevant to decision makers and contribute to the utilization of the evaluation.
