We consider the strong possibility that extraverted and intraverted women differ on preference for some aspects of programming, and how this difference might be more significant than its expression among men. We discuss the reasons why we are moved to design a new study confirming a gender-specific relation of Myers-Briggs personality types to programmingparadigms and specific language features. We discuss the implications of a significant gender difference on representation in industry, advancement in profession, and curriculum design. We invite hypotheses that explain a significant difference. Past classroom questionnaires and future questions will be shown (but not data, since we are bound by IRB rules not to report them), as well as method of analysis and test for robustness in subcategories. We have a specific method for mitigating ambiguity and non-repeatability in Myers-Briggs type determination. Our cohort is expected to include about 500 Master's students per year, most from the same region in India, with about 25% women respondents, if we sample at past rates.
