Here is the (brief) MBTI reading list that I used to make my YouTube videos. All references are in APA
format. Note that for most academic references, membership in a post-secondary and/or research
institution is required for access. If you really want a particular article, let me know and I’ll see if I can
track down the full text for you.

This list is not comprehensive, nor is it complete. If you’re interested, I encourage you to go beyond this
brief list. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a YouTube message.
