Correlations of temperament types, intensity of crisis at midlife with scores on a death scale.
331 subjects completed the Keirsey-Bates Temperament Sorter and Dickstein's Death Scale and responded to an intensity of midlife crisis probe. Using a Pearson product-moment coefficient, weak but significant correlations were found for the introvert-sensor-thinker-judger temperament type on the Think and Anxiety subscales and the Think subscale for introvert-sensor-thinker-judger (ISTJ) temperament type.
