Summary:Though teams composed of various personality types are expected to perform quite well as problem solvers, the extant literature has demonstrated a fairly narrow range of personality types in business courses and the accounting profession. To determine whether various grade-influencing activities in accounting courses favor certain personality types, the personality preferences and temperaments of 82 intermediate accounting students were determined. Relationships were then found between personality variables and the number of class absences, class participation, and the performance on homework and problems on the final examination.
