They answered following questionnaires: Myers-Briggs personality questionnaire and Achieve labor productivity Inventory. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between some personality types and level of productivity. There was a meaningful positive correlation between extroverted type, thinking type and level of productivity. There was a meaningful negative correlation between feeling type, intuitive type and level of productivity. But three personality types including sensing, Introverted, and Judging had no relationship with level of productivity. Moreover, ESTJ type (introverted, sensing, thinking, judging) and ISTJ type (extroverted, intuitive, sensing, judging) had the highest frequency.
