TLDR
Investigation of MBTI personality distribution of first (junior) and fifth (senior) year software engineering students at the University of Informatics Sciences, in Havana (Cuba), aiming to infer attrition rates, shows that ESTPs and ENTPs are over-represented in both samples, whereas INTJs and INTP's are under-represented.Abstract:
There has been an increasing motivation among researchers to identify relationships between software engineering tasks and software developers' personality traits. This study investigates MBTI personality distribution of first (junior) and fifth (senior) year software engineering students at the University of Informatics Sciences, in Havana (Cuba), aiming to infer attrition rates among software engineering students. One hundred software engineering students were surveyed, 50% at junior level and 50% at senior level. Results show that ESTPs and ENTPs are over-represented in both samples, whereas INTJs and INTPs are under-represented. This study may help us to predict which types are more likely to complete a degree in software engineering.read more

Making Sense of Software Development and Personality Types
TL;DR: The authors mapped some opposing psychological traits, such as extroversion-introversion, sensing-intuition, thinking-feeling, and judging-perceiving, to the main stages of a software development life cycle and concluded that assigning a person with specific psychological characteristics to the stage best suited for his or her traits increases the chances of a successful outcome for the project.
