We (Brandon Morgan, Mandy Wigdorowitz, and Nicola Taylor) from the University of Johannesburg and JvR Psychometrics are inviting you to participate in a study that aims to investigate whether personality type is related to burnout. We understand that taking part in this study requires an investment of your time. Your participation will be greatly appreciated. Your results will help us to further understand how personality type relates to well-being at work. You are invited to complete a biographical questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The only condition for participation is that you know what your MBTI® type is (e.g., you have received your MBTI® type and have confirmed that this is your type). The questionnaires will take you approximately 10 minutes to complete. Please note that no reports will be provided on your results.
