Different dichotomies may influence the academic performance of the students in different programs. The finding showed that there was a significant difference in the academic performance of engineering students between the Thinking (T) and the Feeling (F) type. The finding also suggested that engineering students with the Thinking (T) type had better grades than the Feeling (F) type.
