Psychology Research Interests

I am interested in researching C. G. Jung's theory of psychological types by conducting comparative studies with the Singer-Loomis Type Deployment Inventory (a Jungian 'type' measure) and conventional personality scales (e.g., Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory, Eysenck's EPQ, Cattell's 16PF, etc.)

I am conducting a study on achievement motivation from a new perspective, which involves the development and testing of a measure of global need for achievement as a more appropriate instrument for measuring 'semi-operant' achievement motive outcomes in the laboratory setting.
