Abstract

The researcher investigated whether personality type and learning style predicted performance in distance education. Thirty-four participants from 3 sections of Art Humanities completed online the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Learning Styles Inventory. Using regression analysis, it was determined that neither personality type nor learning style had a statistically significant effect on student performance in this setting. However, the data did reveal some apparent self-selection of the learning environment. Sensors outrepresented Intuitives by a large scale, identifying further areas for research. A binomial test was used to prove these results were not random.
