Abstract EN
This study investigates Arabic-English translation students’ performances in relation to their personality type; this is assessed using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
The study postulates that different translators’ behavioral patterns are related to certain MBTI personality types.
A translation assessment framework developed by the American Translators Association (ATA) is adopted to assess the quality of participants’ translations.
The findings report that introvert Arabic-English translation students showed more patience and better quality performance in translating than did extravert ones.
