Introversion and the implication of intelligent tutoring systems: a lesson from Arab students

It is believed that a student model is the fundamental component in an intelligent tutoring system that captures and maintains information about the student. Most work on student models describes the student´s understanding of any domain. A few works were done on studying student´s individual features; however, little has been investigated on personality features due to the difficulty of encompassing all the different personality features. In this context, this paper aims to answer what personal characteristics of Arab students might contribute to this problem. A study using MBTI questionnaire model was conducted in at Dhofar University in Oman to understand Arab student´s personality features.
