I take slight issue with the MBTI, as neither personality nor most aspects of psychology tend to be categorical or dichotomous, but this study seems interesting. It would be cool to find correlations between personality types and roles, and you should probably post the above on the boards, if you haven't already.

Another thing to consider, if you want to correlate roles according to personality types, would be to see how Bartle's Taxonomy affects League and its players: do all Killer types main assassins? Do Explorers always favor off-meta builds? How do Socializers fit into all this? Do specific champions consistently resonate more with specific player types? There's a ton of untapped potential in analyzing the psychology of video games and gamers, and this could potentially even lead to data that might be valuable to both Riot and the player base, as it would allow them to see their champions in a new framework and set out goals to capture all different player types as best as they can.
