Myers-Brigg is not a scientifically rigorous/valid personality scale, while it's popular with HR and corporate that has far more to do with good marketing than any sort of genuine psychological insight, so I would be very skeptical of the research that uses MBTI as a valid indicator to show differences in thinking patters accross the population. The big 5 is what's generally used and considered the best personality scale available for use currently to the best of my knowledge, and most scientific research papers should be using that.

^Obviously not a scholary source, decent overall summary, take with a grain of salt.
- wool_gather 7y agoParent mentioned MBTI only as a side note. And the point stands regardless of this detail: there is a diversity of thinking styles, temperaments, whatever you want to call it. Whether (and how) those styles are quantified or not, people, quite naturally, often end up with careers that fit well with them.
