Students, faculty, and, most importantly, employers, have for years recognized 
the need for improved communication skills. The business communication curriculum 
is filled with a variety of topics that lead to improved communication skills. 
Some of these topics, a percentage of students find boring, unimportant, 
intimidating, and/or nonessential. Other students find these topics to be 
interesting, significant, challenging, and vital. For example, oral presentations 
have been found to be a major fear of today's college student. Could the 
preference or the abhorrence of various business communication topics be related 
to personality type?  To answer this question, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator 
(MBTI), combined with a Likert Scale, was used to study the relationship between 
business communication students' personality types and their preferred topics in 
business communications.
