The present study investigated the relationship between teaching aptitude and personality type of faculty members of Agricultural Universities. Data were collected from 500 respondents of different Agricultural Universities in India by administering Teaching Aptitude Test (TAT) and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Form-M. Results indicated that 277 faculty members (55.4%) had “Above Average” teaching aptitude while 144 (28.8%) had “Average” to “Low” level of teaching aptitude. Among the dimensions of teaching aptitude, faculty members scored lowin “Interest towards students” and “Teaching potential”. The dominant personality type preferences of faculty members were found to be extroversion (65.6%), sensing (67.2%), thinking (54.6%) and judging (86.6%). ESTJ was
the dominant personality type (23.2%) followed by ESFJ (16.6%), ENTJ (11%), ISFJ (10
2%) and ISTJ (9.4%). Teaching aptitude score was negatively correlated with sensing and
feeling types of personality. Extroversion hadpositive correlation with social contacts and teaching innovations whereas, judging type was negatively correlated with Interest towards
students. The implications of these findings were discussed with reference to quality teaching and suggestions were madeto highlight the need based capacity building programmes for the faculty of Agricultural Universities.
