Our experiment - literature search

For discussion:
So, in keeping with the plan to do an experiment comparing Astrology and Myers-Briggs typology... it would be good to do a literature search. This week, find a (not yet posted) relevant journal citation using EBSCOHOST and post it here. I'm especially interested in papers that test Astrology & any that test Astrology against Myers-Briggs (presumably, papers just validating Myers-Briggs are very common - but those are an okay fall back if you can't find any in the first two categories).

(I have a video here from another class discussing EBSCOHOST - skip over the pubmed discussion.)

  • I tried finding an article on EBSCOHOST, but only came up with ones that weren't full text and you had to get in interlibrary loan... but I found a good one on LexisNexis and listed it below.

  • if those other articles looked good, please don't be afraid to list them; I use ILL frequently - it works just fine. ;)

  • It turns out your link does not work for me; possibly because I am off campus, possibly because it is a temporary link. Without a citation I can't tell what article you were trying to link to.

    But, good job being first to try to find something!

  • Here's an interesting article about a self-proclaimed astrologer studying the Myers-Briggs test. He's definitely a skeptic but relates elements of the Myers-Briggs test in an interesting and different way. He says both astrology and the Myers-Briggs test are maps for life but should not be taken as anything more than that.

  • This article isnt irrelevant to Astrology, but goes along with the Myers-Briggs personality traits in comparing charadcteristic traits among various librarians. Some of it was pretty interesting.

  • Theresa, that article might be interesting but it is not peer reviewed and can't be used as a reference - here literature /= internet.

  • Here is an editorial in "Theology Today" called "Myers-Briggs and Other Modern Astrologies" about Myers-Briggs' usage in religion.
