Self-monitoring helps individuals to move higher up in their careers faster through regulating ones own behavior according to the situations, persons and events. The present study conducted on 103 graduate students is an attempt to understand the relationship between personality Type (Myers Briggs Type indicator) as measured using Jung Typology test (Kerbel and Feivishevsky, 1994), and self-monitoring behavior, (Snyder, 1974). Results from the data indicate a positive and significant relationship between the personality type extroversion and self-monitoring behavior. The negative correlations inferred from the study were between self-monitoring and the personality types, intuition (N), Introversion (1), and Judgment Type (J). The present article is an attempt to understand the personality dimensions affecting self monitoring behavior which is directed towards the success of an individual in an organization.
