Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in exploring personality differences to improve work experience in software organizations. This study presents a personality assessment process conducted on 382 software practitioners using the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II (KTS-II). The primary goal of this assessment is to explore the personality temperaments of software practitioners working in different types of software development organizations. In addition, a novel visualization approach is proposed for arranging temperaments using a periodic table-like structure. The results suggest that our approach provides an e ective means to investigate an organizations personality profile while assessing personality types.
