What does an annotated bibliography look like?
The following in an example source from an annotated bibliography:
Turner, A. F., & Elson, A. (2022). Using MBTI and what it tells us about the impact of introversion on coaching relationships: A provocation. The Coaching Psychologist,
18(1), 10–18. DOI:
https://doi.org/10.53841/bpstcp.2022.18.1.10
The article by Tuner and Elson (2022) provided a review and commentary on the impact of introversion on executive coaching. In particular, they examined the possible utility of the MBTI in enhancing the coaching relationship and related outcomes. The authors offer a definition of introversion and discuss the possible effects of introversion from the client and coach perspective are discussed. Their review of the literature revealed mixed findings, with some authors advocating for use of the MBTI and others questioning the reliaiblity and validity when used in the context of executive coaching. Ultimately, they did not advocate for using the MBTI to guide coaching decisions; however, they did advocate for further research to try to identify potential benefits of using personality tests for executive coaches and their clients. This article is helpful because it provides a review of the mixed literature (i.e., some studies support use of the MBTI and some do not). Additionally, I am examining the usefulness of the MBTI related to leadership development, and this article suggests that the MBTI should not be a primary tool used to enhance leadership development through executive coaching. The article is published in The Coaching Psychologist, a peer-reviewed journal.
