Would it be relevant at any point to relate research like this to certain myers-briggs personality types or their respective cognitive functions, then find ways to encourage other personality types to develop their auxiliary or inferior functions to become more creative? Specifically, the types with introverted thinking, extraverted intuition and introverted sensing could naturally show the characteristics this research sought out.

Introverted Thinking: Introverted Thinking finds ways to express an idea that is to the point and concise. We analyze, categorize, and evaluate to figure out whether something fits into the larger framework. We figure out the precise problem of an idea or concept and then work to fix it. We often are checking for inconsistencies in the world, and we often take things apart to understand how it works. We use models to see how things should be, and look at both sides of issues to determine inconsistencies.

Extraverted iNtuition: Extraverted Intuiting involves seeing all possibilites of a subject and believing that each one has a possibility of being true. We can juggle many ideas at once, and find that this cognitive function makes it easy and enjoyable to brainstorm. Extraverted Intuiting involves coming to conclusions about ideas from one major idea. The idea implies relationships and smaller ideas.

Introverted Sensing: Introverted Sensing is the storing of data and then the comparison of that data with other experiences. For example, when we see a movie that reminds us of another similar movie. Or when we see a person that reminds us of someone else. We also use past experiences to learn how to handle similar current situations. There is great attention to detail with Introverted Sensing.

I understand and appreciate the inefficiency of personality typing, as the test requires people to answer questions accurately, and astutely. The results of tests are often inconsistent because people taking them usually respond to how they want to be perceived rather than answering to define their true nature. However, this information is still potentially foundational, and doesn't garner enough attention. If a more effective method for determining types could be resolved, then it's possible we could help people modify their type by having direct access to what their underlying strengths and weaknesses are or could be. It is possible too that types change, so the current linear model might not be as effective - a model that makes room for change of type through life experiences. Like the transition from algebra to calculus.

Bah, there's some dormant insight within the MBTI that hasn't been realized yet, and I think that whatever it is would be extremely beneficial to understanding and modifying our own behavior, as well as possibly contributing to the development of artificial intelligence.
