Abstract

Over the years, a significant amount of research has been done to discover links and/or effects of human personality in the field of software engineering (SI). It has been shown that personality has a positive influence on the different tasks and/or processes in this field. Related studies helped to identify a suitable personality type for each profile in the SI. However, contradictions have also been found in the results that question their validity, therefore, generalizing and applying these results may be misleading. This is because one of the key and complex factors is evaluating the personality of engineers or software developers from a psychological point of view. Through a systematic mapping study, an attempt was made to characterize the most widely used, reliable and valid psychological instruments/models. However, most of the articles considered for this study were based solely on the data available in the literature; making purely conceptual comparisons. A more exhaustive comparative analysis between said instruments/models was expected. Despite this, it was possible to identify that MBTI is the most popular to examine the personality of software developers. However, the Big Five and its psychometric instruments such as BFI and NEO-FFI have gained more prominence in SI research in recent years. It is necessary to highlight and call on the scientific community to carry out this type of research in a more rigorous way and that it be supported and guided by specialized areas in human behavior, which allows for minimizing contradictions for future research.
