Data on the leadership styles and personality types were obtained from a research sample of 130 elementary school administrators within the Central and Southeast Regions of North Carolina. Administrators were randomly selected based on individual school performances on the North Carolina End-of-Grade Test. Participants in this study were asked to answer the 93 items on the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, Form M (MBTI); respond to 12 situations compiled on the Leadership Effectiveness and Adaptability Descriptions Instrument (LEAD-Self); and complete a Biographical Data Sheet for Principals. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistics provided a profile of the principals and their schools. Inferential statistical procedures were used to test the five research questions and three hypotheses. The administrators from the two school categories did not differ significantly on three of the four styles of leadership. A significant relationship was identified between the administrators from adequate performance and exemplary schools on Participating Leadership Style (S3). A statistical relationship between personality types and school categories was not identified; however, the introverted, sensing, thinking, and judging (INTJ) personality type was identified by more administrators. Two reliable and interpretable components were identified among the 12 variables examined through factor analysis.
