This book argues for a unified approach to cognitive style research and makes the case for the MBTI as a central tool, with practical insights for MIS work. It discusses how differences in processing affect design, use, and implementation in organizations.
The text surveys major cognitive style paradigms, compares measurement approaches, and shows how MBTI data relate to occupational specialization. It also explains why validity matters and how to move from fragmented findings toward a coherent research program that informs real-world information systems practice.
Ideal for readers of information systems, management science, and psychology who want a clearer, evidence‑based framework for cognitive style research.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling argument for the use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as a valid and reliable measure of cognitive style in Management Information Systems (MIS). The author argues that the MBTI is a more comprehensive and theoretically sound instrument than other widely used measures, such as the Embedded Figures Test (EFT). The book provides a thorough review of the existing literature on cognitive style in MIS, highlighting the limitations of previous research and identifying areas for future inquiry. The author also presents new empirical data on cognitive style differences among occupational specialties, which challenges the commonly held assumption that managers and analysts differ significantly in terms of style. The book concludes by discussing the implications of the findings for MIS research and practice, and emphasizes the need for a more nuanced understanding of cognitive style in order to improve the design and implementation of information systems. Overall, this book presents a valuable contribution to the field of MIS research and provides a strong case for the use of the MBTI as a valid and reliable measure of cognitive style.
