Human ability to receive and process information is considered to be the key
personality characteristic that has a strong influence on individual decision strategy. It
also plays an important role in the psychological theories of personality and cognition
that may be useful in the information processing behavior. The dimensions of
personality, cognitive styles and decision-making styles are important variables in
information processing and decision making strategies. Some of them have been very
often and successfully used in the information system research, notably the
personality type classification based on Jungian personality theory and basic
personality dimension model based on big five-factor theory. Both personality models
are supported by efficient technigues of personality assessment, for example Myers-
Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the measures of big five factors (NEO-PI-R; BFO)
fitting the relevant psychometric criteria (validity, reliability, objectivity and
sensitivity).
