Which personality types make the best designer?

Do designers share personality traits that make them successful? Even more specifically, can personality types indicate a likelihood that one will be a better manager, researcher, or stylist?

You’re not familiar with it, the Jung Myers-Briggs Type Indicator documents 16 personality types based on four categories: Extroversion vs. Introversion, Intuiting vs. Sensing, Thinking vs. Feeling, and Judging vs. Perceiving.

Sensing – trusts facts and data, accepts the world as it is, prefers practicality
Feeling – seeks harmony, considers the feelings of others
Judging – gains control through planning, focuses on results
