 Abstract

The researchers conducted an experimental study entitled

“PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL INTERACTING

THROUGH MBTI PREFERENCES OF STUDENTS WITH DISASTER RELATED

TRAUMAS”. The main purpose of the study was to look into

the impact of the Myers-Briggs Personality Test on social

interactions by creating a bot and a server within Discord

with the commands that will redirect people to their

preferred MBTI Personality type to converse with their

preferred type channels when connecting with someone solely

for online support groups to cope with disaster-related

traumas.

 The study focuses on utilizing the Myers Briggs Type

Indicator (MBTI) to examine a student's social interactions

with disaster-related traumas. A Myers Briggs Type

Indicator is one method for determining a person's

personality type, strengths, and preferences.

In the early mid-twentieth century, Katharine Cook

Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers developed the

Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) evaluation in the United

States of America (USA). The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator,

or MBTI instrument, was initially published in 1962. Since

1975, the Myers-Briggs Company (previously CPP, Inc.) has

researched and updated the MBTI instrument. Since 1989, it

has been training practitioners.

The primary goal of this study is to investigate the

impact of the Myers-Briggs Personality Test on social

interactions. When connecting with someone solely for

online support groups to cope with disaster related traumas,

create a bot and a server within Discord with the commands

that will redirect people to their preferred MBTI

2
Personality type to converse with their preferred type

channels.

Significance of the Study

The entirety of this study will be most useful for the

following:

The students. This study can be freely used as a

reference for future papers.

The society. This study can be an eye opener for

people who are especially interested in psychological

analysis.

The professionals. This study can be an element to

future app developers upon developing an app or a working

website related to this.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

This study will be conducted at Our Lady of Pillar

College-Cauayan. The center of this study is to analyze the

interaction of the selected students by communicating

through their MBTI preferences upon conversing with their

disaster related traumas.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDY

This chapter primarily presents the different

researchers and other literature and studies from both

foreign and local researchers, which have significant

bearings on the variables included in the research. It is a

review and summary of literature and studies related to the

adhesive glue blended with phosphorescent powder for

convenient patching of roof punctures. It focuses on

several aspects that will help in the development of this

study. It also provides explanations and logical

connections between previous research and the present work.

Local Literature

The aim of psychology is to understand the human mind

and behavior. In contemporary psychology, the method of

choice to accomplish this incredibly complex endeavor is

the experiment. This dominance has shaped the whole

discipline from the self-concept as an empirical science

and its very epistemological and theoretical foundations,

via research practice and the scientific discourse to

teaching. Experimental psychology is grounded in the

5
scientific method and positivism, and these principles,

which are characteristic for modern thinking, are still

upheld. Despite this apparently stalwart adherence to

modern principles, experimental psychology exhibits a

number of aspects which can best be described as facets of

postmodern thinking although they are hardly acknowledged

as such.(Mayrhofer, 2021)

It seems that science and experimental psychology on

the one hand and postmodern thinking on the other are

irreconcilable opposites. However, following (Gergen,2001)

and (Holtz,2020), we argue that this dichotomy is only

superficial because postmodernism is often misunderstood. A

closer look reveals that experimental psychology contains

many postmodern elements. Even more, there is reason to

assume that a postmodern perspective may be beneficial for

academic psychology: First, the practice of experimental

psychology would be improved by integrating postmodern

thinking because it reveals a side of the human psyche for

which experimental psychology is mostly blind. Second, the

postmodern perspective can tell us much about the

epistemological and social background of experimental

psychology and how this affects our understanding of the

human psyche.

6
 Freud’s theories on traumatic experience and memory

define the psychological concepts that guide the field.

Psychoanalytic theories regarding the origins and effects

of trauma arose in the nineteenth‐century study of shock and

hysteria by researchers who, in addition to Freud, include

Joseph Breuer, Pierre Janet, Jean‐Martin Charcot, Hermann

Oppenheim, Abram Kardiner, and Morton Prince. Freud’s early

theories in Studies on Hysteria (1895) written with Joseph

Breuer, and especially his adapted theories later in his

career in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920), dominate

trauma’s conceptual employment by literary trauma critics

today.

Trauma is thus defined in relation to the process of

remembering and as an event harbored within the unconscious

that causes a splitting of the ego or dissociation. The

authors, citing Janet’s work on dissociation, write: “the

splitting of consciousness which is so striking in the

well‐known classical cases under the form of ‘double

conscience’ is present to a rudimentary degree in every

hysteria, and that a tendency to such dissociation, and

with it the emergence of abnormal states of consciousness …

7
is the basic phenomenon of this neurosis” (1955: 9). The

fundamental “phenomenon of hysteria” involves dissociation

which the authors argue is a defense mechanism that arises

from repression; another mode of defense is amnesia (1955:

248, 793). The notion that trauma causes dissociation or a

gap in the psyche is taken up by Freud throughout his

career. The concept of the latency period between the event

and its pathological effects, along with the idea that

trauma fragments the psyche, can cause dissociation, and

continuously wreaks havoc or infects it, are principles

that Freud adjusts later in his career but still influence

the contemporary definition of trauma for literary critics.

Defining trauma’s effects on identity and memory as an

interplay of external and internal forces as well as

individual character traits and cultural factors creates a

broader appreciation for the links between the singular and

collective traumatic experience. The processes of memory

remain central to the depiction of trauma’s impact.

Maintaining a concept of memory as a fixed process wherein

all life experiences are stored exactly and literally lends

itself to the traditional trauma model since the traumatic

experience remains frozen in a timeless, haunting state. If,

however, memory is viewed as a fluid process of

8
reconstruction rather than a storehouse, then the traumatic

past is not retrievable in a cryogenic state but rather is

created and recreated in moments of recollection.

Psychiatrist Laurence Kirmayer for example argues that the

recollection of traumatic events is “governed by social

contexts and cultural models for memories, narratives, and

life stories. Such cultural models influence what is viewed

as salient, how it is interpreted and encoded at the time

of registration, and, most important for long‐term memories

that serve autobiographical functions, what is socially

possible to speak of and what must remain hidden and

unacknowledged” (Kirmayer 1996: 191). What remains unspoken

in a narrative about trauma therefore can be a result of

cultural values in contrast to the traditional model that

claims trauma’s inherent unspeakability due to its

neurobiological functions.

Naomi Mandel’s Against the Unspeakable: Complicity,

the Holocaust, and Slavery in America (2006) argues that

the traditional concept of trauma as unspeakable is a

“discursive production” that evades moral responsibility in

representing atrocity by privileging the “problems inherent

in speech” rather than addressing the “ethical obligations

involved in such representations (Mandel 2006: 4, 5). In

9
her analysis of trauma and the paradoxes of memorialization

in Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved, Mandel writes that

“silence and forgetting are as much a strategic and

self‐conscious gesture on the part of the subjugated as they

are the product of the subjugating culture’s demands and

requirements” (2006: 172).

Greg Forter’s early work in Gender, Race, and Mourning

in American Modernism (2011) employs and adapts the

Freudian‐Caruthian trauma model to emphasize the difference

between “punctual” trauma or a once occurring catastrophic

event and non‐punctual trauma or an ongoing and everyday

event in his analysis that examines the political and

historical dimensions of extreme experience in modernist

and postcolonial fiction (Forter 2011: 98). He expands the

theory of trauma to incorporate the idea of “signification

trauma” that allows for a transformative realization of the

experience thus locating its meaning (2011: 116). Forter’s

theoretical advancements of the trauma model in his recent

work is applied to postcolonial novels that extend the

focus on the social, political, and cultural forces at work

in representations of trauma. Rather than engaging in

therapeutic and anti‐therapeutic approaches to analyze

10
colonial trauma which function to analogize the relations

between psychic and social worlds, Forter examines the

dialectic between such worlds, including the causes and

social conditions of trauma (2014: 76). This view of the

dialectic relationship between specific psychic and social

worlds in novelistic representations places a different

emphasis on the causation of trauma and its effects on

subjectivity because it allows for an exploration of how

trauma is produced and reproduced through colonial

institutions, which underscores the “irreducible

particularity of suffering” (2014: 77). Forter argues that

“[t]he ‘unrepresentable’ character of trauma is thus not

due to its being ‘originary’ and hence, beyond history and

representation. Rather, it has to do with the enforced

rupture with pre colonial pasts and the prohibitions

against remembrance enforced by particular regimes of

power” (2014: 77). The traumatic past of social violence is

representable and narratable in Forter’s analysis through

formal strategies in the novel that demonstrate the ethical

tension of portraying the oppression from, and resistance

to, hegemonic power in a representational order that

attempts to silence the subject.

11
 Ann Cvetkovich’s An Archive of Feelings: Trauma,

Sexuality, and Lesbian Public Cultures (2003) establishes a

view of traumatic experience beyond that of pathology by

examining trauma’s specificities and variations in

butch‐femme discourses and the public culture that arises

around trauma. Her analysis examines sexual trauma and

focuses on lesbian culture to argue that “affect, including

the affects associated with trauma, serves as the

foundation for the formation of public cultures”

(Cvetkovich 2003: 10). Cvetkovich acknowledges the

potential for trauma to be unrepresentable and dissociative

but focuses on the ways that traumatic experience,

specifically sexual trauma, creates new value in

representations and cultural practices.

Foreign Literature

According to Kendra Cherry (2020), The MBTI was

designed to assess psychological preferences, including how

people see the world, how they interact with the world, and

how they make decisions. A mother-daughter team developed

the test based on the personality theories of psychoanalyst

Carl Jung. Since then, the assessment has become one of the

most popular and widely used personality tests. Frequently

12
used by psychologists, career counselors, and employers,

the test is often touted as a quick means to learn more

about what people are good at and whether they will succeed

in certain roles. After taking the MBTI and seeing your

results, you might have a better understanding of all the

different reactions and perceptions that other people might

have to the same situations. We all have a different way of

seeing and interacting with the world.People often fall

into the trap of mistakenly believing that most other

people share the same views, opinions, attitudes, and

traits that they do.2 Having your own personal preferences

highlighted and being able to glimpse at some of the traits

that other people possess can be an eye-opener for many.

Understanding some of your core personality traits as

well as those of the people you are close to is also

helpful in relationships. If, for example, you are an

extrovert but your spouse is more of an introvert, you will

be better able to spot the signs that your partner is

getting exhausted and needs to take a break from

socializing. By better knowing each other's personality

traits, you can better respond to the needs of your loved

ones and build stronger partnerships.

13
 According to Murad Ahmed (2016), Myers-Briggs has a

particularly strong influence at McKinsey, according to

current and former staffers (when contacted for this

article, McKinsey said it does not comment on its “internal

processes”.) Included in the basic biographical information

supplied on the company’s staff profile pages are addresses,

educational background — and MBTI personality types. When a

team begins a new project, associates often start by

discussing their respective personality traits — are you an

“E” (extrovert) or an “I” (introvert)?

As Varma settled into his new job at the company,

working long hours alongside other ambitious overachievers,

he found the insights provided by the test helpful. “It’s

11 o’clock on a Monday night and you’re frustrated with

each other and asking, ‘Why are you not seeing it my way?’”

he says. “Now, you’ve got this thing you can lean back on

and understand that the way colleagues see the world is

different to how you see the world.”

Not everyone is so enamored. One former McKinsey

executive says he was unimpressed with its findings. Unable

to speak of this heresy, he chose to use his colleagues’

faith in MBTI to his advantage. Despite being labeled an

14
“E”, the associate told his workmates he was an “I”. It was

the perfect excuse to avoid after-work dinners, plug his

headphones in at the office or leave for the gym at a

reasonable hour. “I could always just say, Hey guys, sorry,

I’m an ‘I’,” he recalls, laughing. “That’s a totally

reasonable excuse at McKinsey.”

Myers-Briggs is not the invention of white coats in

laboratories or tweed jackets at universities. Its origins

can be traced to 1917, when Katharine Cook Briggs, a

housewife and writer from Washington DC, and her husband

Lyman hosted a Christmas dinner with their daughter Isabel

and her fiancé, Clarence “Chief” Myers. Katharine liked

Chief but according to The Cult of Personality (2004), a

book about the personality-testing industry by Annie Murphy

Paul, found him difficult to read.

“Tightly knit as they were, the Briggs family shared

certain qualities: they were imaginative and intuitive,

big-picture thinkers,” writes Paul. “Chief was different.

An aspiring lawyer, he tended to be practical and logical,

focused on details.” To better understand her future son-

in-law, Katharine started reading books on the emerging

field of psychology. In 1923 she came across an English

15
translation of Psychologische Typen by Carl Jung, the

founder of analytical psychology and contemporary of

Sigmund Freud.

Local Studies

Psychological Experimental Analysis of Social

Interacting Through MBTI Preferences of Students with

Disaster Related Traumas. The major goal of this study is

to investigate the effects of the Myers-Briggs Personality

Test on social interactions by developing a website with an

algorithm that matches users according to their chosen MBTI

type when connecting with someone primarily for academic

purposes. The MBTI, which is formally known as the Myers-

Briggs Type Indicator, is a personality inventory. Career

development professionals may use it, as one component of a

complete self-assessment, to help a client choose the right

career.

According to Dodge (2014), Jungian cognitive functions

is the theory that there are eight primary mental processes

the brain uses to learn new information and evaluate that

information, or make decisions. There are four learning

functions (called “perceiving processes), and four

16
decision-making functions (called “judging processes”).

Depending upon your Myers-Briggs type, you will have one of

the learning processes and one of the decision-making

processes as your favorite. The learning processes are

based on the Sensor/Intuitive dichotomy, with each having

an extraverted and an introverted expression, or version of

itself. So, the four processes are Introverted Sensing,

Extraverted Sensing, Introverted Intuition and Extraverted

Intuition. The decision-making processes are based on the

Thinker/Feeler dichotomy, and they also have an introverted

and an extraverted expression. They are Introverted Feeling,

Extraverted Feeling, Introverted Thinking and Extraverted

Thinking The MBTI has been extensively tested for

reliability and validity, and used in a large number of

basic and education research studies. Results from

reliability and validity testing indicate that the MBTI

reliably measures personality characteristics predicted by

Jungian theory. A small amount of published research has

been conducted in accounting using the MBTI. These 16

articles are reviewed, with suggestions for additional

research. (Wheeler, 2001 The Myers‐Briggs Type Indicator and

Applications to Accounting Education and Research).

17
 The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI; Myers &

McCaulley, 1985) is used at each stage of career assessment

and career counseling. Based on Jung's theory of

psychological types, the psychodynamic model of the MBTI is

useful for self understanding and life-long development.

MBTI type descriptions characterize 16 types at their best;

provide positive, self-affirming goals; and note blind

spots and problems to avoid. MBTI type tables apply Jung's

theory to groups; type tables for careers not only validate

Jung's theory, but provide ways for looking at occupations

attractive to each of the 16 psychological types. Career

counselors use type tables to help clients see the fit

between their preferences and career families and to

highlight careers especially worth considering. The MBTI

problem-solving model is a useful tool in the career

planning process. Finally, counselors who understand the

MBTI find it useful for individualizing counseling

approaches and strategies to the type preferences of their

clients. (McCaulley,1995 Career Assessment and the Myers-

Briggs Type Indicator)

Disasters and mental health are inextricably linked;

disasters can have a negative influence on the people who

are affected. Individuals and groups suffer mental

18
instability in addition to social and economic losses,

which may lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),

Anxiety, and Depression among the community. In general,

disasters are assessed based on the cost of social and

economic damage, but the emotional toll a person bears

after a disaster is incomparable.

Psychological distress, as well as socioeconomic

distress, are widespread among the victims. Psychological

interventions have helped the victims improve over time,

but as a result of the detrimental influence on mental

health, the most frequent mental disorders such as sadness

and anxiety are expected to rise.

Foreign Studies

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator has been around for a

long time, it was created by Isabel Briggs Myers herself;

based on Carl Jung’s theories on psychological behaviors of

every individual within the society. The first MBTI

instrument was published some time back in 1962. It was

then discussed by Kyle (n.d) that stress and traumas can be

linked to ones MBTI personality, “Stress contagion is real.

When a widespread threat surfaces, stress spreads like a

19
secondary infection. As individuals, we’re affected by the

thoughts and feelings that people express, whether they’re

reasonable or not.”

He then proceeds with “Suddenly, we’re not only dealing

with the main threat but also an array of artificially

created stressors. It can be a multiway attack on our

mental and emotional health, even when we’re otherwise okay.

But we don’t have to just sit there and take it.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of the

rare people who seek greater awareness and ability through

personality type theory. Knowledge is power, and

understanding yourself and others gives you a special

perspective – and unique opportunities.

The message we’re offering here is that you have

wonderful qualities that can improve a difficult situation.

This doesn’t mean that you need to be a hero or

achieve some grand goal. Merely stepping out of the chain

of stress contagion is a great accomplishment. Knowing your

personality traits helps you manage your attitude, which is

20
a great start to helping yourself, your loved ones, and,

ultimately, the world.

Of course, there are other ways you can make a

difference as well. Specific actions depend on your

circumstances, but a general approach that taps into your

personality type will strengthen you. A crisis is an

excellent time to recognize and rely on the traits that you

(and those around you) possess.

Here, we’ll look at some of the broad strengths of the

personality types in the context of crisis. We hope it

helps you appreciate the best qualities in yourself and

others and use them to make your situation better.”

For Storm (2018) that sides with how traumas can

affect the shaping of your personality type; she says

“won’t change your personality type, it can change the

result you get on a type indicator (personality quiz, the

official MBTI®, etc,.). One of the reasons this happens is

that trauma can impact how you use, develop, and show your

type preferences. Most tests and indicators look for

“typical” type responses, behaviors, and reactions. They

21
aren’t able to consider the effects of abuse, environment,

and stress.”

“For example, an ENFJ who has grown up in an abusive,

volatile environment and wasn’t nurtured through childhood

may not be as socially conscious or in tune with the

feelings of others as your typical ENFJ. Questions

determined to root out healthy Extraverted Feeling (the

dominant function of ENFJs) might fall flat for this kind

of an ENFJ. Why? Well, studies in neuroscience have shown

that children who aren’t nurtured or who are maltreated as

children can experience a number of changes in their brain

structure and chemical activity which will affect their

behavior and social and emotional functioning.

And to conclude Hanson (et al., 2010) says “Toxic

stress can alter brain development in ways that make

interaction with others more difficult. Children or youth

with toxic stress may find it more challenging to navigate

social situations and adapt to changing social contexts”

22
Grand Synthesis

With the preceding related literature and studies, it

was evident that the so-called Myers Briggs Type Indicator,

or "MBTI," will provide a better knowledge in viewing and

engaging with various individuals with varied challenges

through MBTI preferences. One of the probable reasons for

the use of MBTI preferences in assessing the specific

challenges of persons in social interaction via the

findings of the assessment of the student who had Post

Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD indicated on the study

would be the use of self-evaluation to evaluate individuals.

It was emphasized that traumatic experiences and memories

of individuals alter the notions that guide them through

the sphere of social interaction. When the effects of

trauma on identity and memory are described as an interplay

of external and internal influences, as well as individual

character traits and cultural variables, memory processes

remain important in representing the impact of trauma. It

focuses on creating intellectual awareness through MBTI

assessment. This belief was reinforced by several research

and articles on the Myer Briggs type indicator, as well as

studies on the usage of a website algorithm based MBTI

preferences in assessing individuals.

METHODS AND PROCEDURES

I. RESEARCH DESIGN

This study uses qualitative research design. The

design is appropriate because it suits our research, and

also collects non numerical data to explain a particular

phenomenon.

II. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT

The materials needed for the completion of this study

would be a laptop, solely done for coding to produce our

bot and server.

III. PROCEDURE

1. We created a logo for branding.

2. We started coding using JavaScript to create the

MBportal Bot.

3. We created a Discord official account for the MBPortal

Bot.

24
 4. We then proceeded to make a server and channels for

each MBTI Type within the server.

5. We tested the bot.

6. After a successful test, we gathered users who are

having trouble with disaster related traumas to

participate in the experiment.

IV. STATISTICAL TOOLS

Researchers will be using the T-test to determine the

impact of the website with an algorithm that matches people

based on their randomly chosen "Myers-Briggs Personality

Test" preferences on social interactions when connecting to

selected students upon conversing about their disaster-

related traumas.

 CHAPTER IV

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

I. Making the MBPortal Bot and Server

Coding done with the elements of JavaScript / Node.Js

took

place to develop the Discord Bot.

27
 After doing so, we proceeded on making the official

server and the channels for each type.

28
 By simply typing “/personality”, the bot will give you

choices to teleport you on your preferred MBTI Type Channel.

29
 For example by pressing the INFJ type choice, it will

transfer you to the INFJ channel.

Within the channels, the users can freely converse

about their disaster related traumas.

30
 The survey held after the experiment shows 100%

satisfaction.

Upon coping with disaster related traumas by

conversing in an online support group through MBTI

preferences, the survey shows 90% agreement, that it did in

fact help them especially since it’s done online.

31
 CHAPTER V

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the analysis done by the researchers, the

following are the findings: The coding for the MBPortal Bot

and Server was done using JavaScript / Node.Js components

to create the Discord Bot. Following that, the researchers

created the official server and also the paths by each form.

The researchers tested and activated the Discord bot

from the main terminal of Visual Studio Code. Following a

successful test, the researchers have gathered users

suffering from disaster-related traumas to take part in the

study.

The researchers tested it from the main terminal of

Visual Studio Code. Following a successful test, the

researchers have gathered users suffering from disaster-

related traumas to take part in the study.

The researchers conducted a survey after gathering

study participants who had suffered from disaster-related

traumas to participate in the study. The results of the

experiment showed that everyone was completely satisfied.

The survey also found that 90 percent of people agreed upon

coping with disaster-related traumas by conversing in an

online support group using MBTI preferences.

32
Conclusion

As the research has demonstrated, the development and

creation of the Discord bot and a server inside Discord

merely for online support groups with the goal of

reorienting individuals to their preferred MBTI Personality

type channels has been regarded as beneficial by the

respondents in coping with other people with the same MBTI

in conversing their disaster-related traumas. The Discord

bot was created through the use of coding in visual studio

code, using the framework Node.js and the programming

language of JavaScript.

Recommendations

From the aforementioned conclusion and in accordance

with the findings in the data that were collected, this

study was able to determine the PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTAL

ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL INTERACTING THROUGH MBTI PREFERENCES OF

STUDENTS WITH DISASTER RELATED TRAUMAS. The researchers

strongly suggest the following:

1. For a deeper understanding of the topic, students

should delve to the origins of psychological analysis.

Since it is necessary for students to gain an

understanding of how the psychological mind works.

33
2. Society must reach a wider audience, and this study

can be eye-opening for those who are particularly

interested in psychological analysis. This would also

help our society become more innovative and inventive

in the future when it comes to assisting people who

have suffered from disaster-related traumas providing

them the environment suitable for them.

3. By creating a bot and a server within Discord, future

researchers should conduct in-depth research on the

psychological experimental analysis of social

interacting through mbti preferences of students with

disaster-related traumas. They must also conduct a

study that can provide more details and statistical

data about the use of this bot by surveying more

respondents about their satisfaction with using the

bot in coping with disaster-related traumas by

conversing in an online support group using MBTI
