Is there a relationship between a participants levels of satisfaction and personality type. The topic of this present study is the correlation between specific personality types (as indicated by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and successful abroad experiences for youth between the ages of 16 and 25. Study abroad experiences are defining moments in a persons life and therefore are important to study. Why some individuals experience more or less satisfaction than others is not yet understood but the present study looks at the relationship between personality type and level of satisfaction experienced.
