Personality Types and Megabytes

This article describes the results of a pilot study to examine the attitudes of university students toward the use of computer mediated communication in their French Conversation and Composition course. Student perceptions are examined in the light of their personality types as determined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Quantitative and qualitative data validate that both I (introvert) and E (extrovert) personality types generally perceive the use of LAN (local area network) as a beneficial experience.
