MBTI-based minority recruitment to WPI of the Worcester Public Schools class of 2003.

Public

It is essential for universities to maintain student populations that work well together socially and academically. Ensuring such a population while seeking social diversity through affirmative action is challenging; however, an admission recruitment plan based partly on MBTI personality types could help reconcile these two competing goals. Using MBTI data regarding the student population of WPI obtained through previous studies, I devised a plan to recruit minority students who would be unusually likely to succeed or fit in at WPI.

This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review.
