Abstract: The following article aims to identify the effects of Jung’s cognitive styles on Human resource (HR) competency levels in order to predict the level of competencies among those who are going to apply for a position and those who are seeking promotion. The data was collected from 102 HR administrators and professionals of 5 top ranked Iranian universities. The universities were chosen from the 2010 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings. The questionnaire of this research includes two groups of tests, including Competencies' assessment tests and Jung’s cognitive style tests. The findings of this study show that there is a significant correlation between Joung’s cognitive styles and HR competency levels. The results of this study may be applicable as a hint in the top ranked universities for employing applicants with the best qualifications specially those who have no or not enough job experience.
