Dear potential research participant,
I would like to invite you to take part in my research study investigating the association between one’s personality type according to the Myres-Briggs Type Indicator and the presence of a personality disorder in accordance with The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
The study does not require participants to disclose personal information and therefore your identity in this study is anonymous. Data will be collected from the completed online questionnaire. Any data published will be anonymised and will not allow any individuals to be identified or identifiable.
