Abstract

Authors tested students for and against vivisection using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and discovered that students who opposed painful experiments on animals were generally more compassionate and caring towards people and our planet (ecology) in general. They concluded that in order to guard against losing the most innovative, visionary students (who are likely to be NF's, or intuitive-feeling types), science education must begin to address their needs.
