Intrinsic Motivation and Role Adaptability with Regards to Drama Students

Study seems to support our typological speculation that the Artistic (cyclothymic) and Dramatic (histrionic) types are "introverted," whereas the study that I saw in Personality Disorders and the Five-Factor Model of Personality, Widiger & Costa, Eds., countradicted it.

The Strong Interest Inventory (Hansen& Campbell, 1985) shows that Artistic type people should score high on intrinsic motivation, and leadership oriented types should score high on extrinsic motivation. The intrinsic motivation hypothesis of creativity (Amabile, 1983) states that creativity should be positively related to intrinsic motivation and negatively related to extrinsic motivation. The Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (Myers, 1962) shows that extrinsically motivated people tend to be extroverted, specifically they tend to be ESTJ types( Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging). Myers and McCaulley found that ESTJ types like careers in business marketing and management due to the importance that they place on money and organization.

: I've never taken or administered the test. I seem to recall from your bio that you've given the test in connection with your work? Were you able to determine people's type by comparing results to those like are in that book you mentioned?
: One of the things that I remember about their results was that they considered the Cyclothymic and the Histrionic types to be extroverted, which does contradict my system. I thought that a possible flaw in their method was that they used factor analysis and not testing. I may be misremembering, but I think what they did was compare the personality disorder traits to their factors and just say that, for instance, "those histrionic traits are extroverted, so the Histrionic type scores high for Extroversion. This seemed just as speculative as what I do! But actually *I'm* the one doing the empirical work. I base my conviction that the Histrionic person is introverted on my experience with a close family member, who I know very well and is very Dramatic, and who, although he is a stage performer, is actually shy and introverted, and has always believed himself to be so.
