This study investigated the association between the 16 MBTI personality types, the 4 MBTI groups, and peer perceptions of communication traits, specifically, being pleasant or unpleasant to talk to and being a good or bad This study investigated the association between the 16 MBTI personality types, the 4 MBTI groups, and peer perceptions of communication traits, specifically, being pleasant or unpleasant to talk to and being a good or bad listener, among high school students. A total of 320 students at a boarding school in Indonesia participated, providing 825 peer nominations. Chi-square analyses revealed moderate to strong associations between certain MBTI personality types and socially desirable traits, which varied across cohorts. Several personality types, such as Defender, Debater, and Protagonist appeared in both positive and negative peer perceptions. These findings suggest that while personality types may influence peer evaluations, Gen Z’s perceptions of conversational and listening skills depend on social norms, context, expectations, and students’ ability to adapt their behavior to different audiences. The findings imply a need for training programs to enhace student’s self-awareness, empathy, and adaptability to social contexts and expectations.
