ABSTRACT
A presente pesquisa objetivou avaliar a existência de um perfil de personalidade e de temperamento que possa ser associado aos ocupantes de cargos de gestão. Para isso foi realizada a análise documentária de 240.233 protocolos do MBTI, do banco de dados da empresa representante da ferramenta no Brasil, emitidos no período de 2007 a 2015. Como a base de dados para este estudo foi documental, não houve necessidade de submetê-lo ao Comitê de Ética, mas apenas da autorização expressa da empresa. Para a análise do temperamento, utilizou-se a teoria de David Keirsey por permitir sua associação com o MBTI. Da totalidade de protocolos analisados, 12,55% ocupavam algum cargo de gestão quando avaliados. Os resultados apontaram que as tipologias de personalidade ESTJ (Extrovertido, Sensorial, Racional, Julgador) e ISTJ (Introvertido, Sensorial, Racional, Julgador) e o temperamento Guardião são as que mais se destacam para todos os tipos de cargos. Conclui-se que não há uma tipologia ou um de temperamento que diferencie pessoas que ocupam cargos de gestão das que não ocupam, porém, há tipologias e temperamentos mais frequentemente observados para os profissionais de diversos cargos.
The present research aims to evaluate the existence of profiles from personality and temperament which can be associated with the occupants of management positions. In order to understand this relation, a documentary analysis has been made using 240,233 MBTI protocols, which represents the database of the company that owns the tool in Brazil from the period of 2007 to 2015. The theory of David Keirsey was used for this purpose and according to the characteristics of this study and the rules of the Ethics Committee, only the express authorization of the company was needed. The results indicate the ESTJ (Extroverted, Sensory, Rational, Judging) and ISTJ (Introverted, Sensory, Rational, Judging) personality typologies and the Guardian temperament are the ones that stand out the most for all types of positions and also 12.55% of the people analyzed in protocols occupied some management position. The conclusion presented there are no typology or temperament profiles that differentiate people who occupy management positions from those who do not. However, there are typologies and temperaments more frequently observed for professionals in different positions.
La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar la existencia de un perfil de personalidad y temperamento que puede asociarse a los ocupantes de los puestos de dirección. Para ello, se realizó un análisis documental de 240.233 protocolos MBTI de la base de datos de la empresa representante de la herramienta en Brasil, emitidos en el periodo de 2007 a 2015. Como la base de datos de este estudio era documental, no fue necesario presentarla al Comité de Ética, solamente de la autorización expresa de la empresa. Para el análisis del temperamento, se utilizó la teoría de David Keirsey porque permite su asociación con el MBTI. De todos los protocolos analizados, 12,55% ocupaba algún cargo directivo en el momento de la evaluación. Los resultados señalaron que las tipologías de personalidad ESTJ (Extrovertida, Sensorial, Racional, Juiciosa) e ISTJ (Introvertida, Sensorial, Racional, Juiciosa) y el temperamento Guardián son los más destacados para todos los tipos de trabajo. Se concluye que no existe una tipología o un temperamento que diferencie a las personas que ocupan cargos directivos de las que no lo hacen, sin embargo, hay tipologías y temperamentos que se observan con mayor frecuencia para profesionales de diversos cargos.

RESUMEN: El objetivo fue establecer los tipos psicológicos y estilos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes que cursaron de primer a sexto año de la Carrera de Odontología de la Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile. Se realizó un diseño cualitativo, correlacional, descriptivo y transeccional estableciendo la existencia de correlación entre los tipos psicológicos, sexo y nivel curricular aplicando dos instrumentos: tipos psicológicos de Myers y Briggs forma M versión español (MBTI, 2012) y el Inventario de Estilos de Aprendizaje de Kolb (IEA de Kolb). Se incluyeron 372 sujetos, 208 (56 %) del sexo femenino y 164 (44 %) del sexo masculino. Según el estilo de aprendizaje, los sujetos se caracterizaron mayoritariamente por ser divergentes (63 % de la muestra), seguido del grupo acomodador (26 % de la muestra) y finalmente le siguieron el grupo asimilador y convergente con un 8 % y 3 % respectivamente. Al avanzar de nivel curricular e ingresar en las asignaturas de clínicas odontológicas y tratar con pacientes, el tipo psicológico cambió gradualmente con predominancia de la dimensión extroversión e incremento de la dimensión Juicio a un ESTJ. El estilo de aprendizaje en los niveles cuarto, quinto y sexto fue más divergente para finalizar con un estiloacomodador en los estudiantes de sexto año. Se puede concluir que los tipos psicológicos y estilos de aprendizaje no fueron homogéneos en los distintos niveles curriculares.
ABSTRACT: The aim was to establish the psychological types and learning styles of the students between the first to sixth year of the Graduation Program in Dentistry at the University of La Frontera, Temuco, Chile. A qualitative, correlational, descriptive and transectional design was made to observe the existence of correlation between the psychological types, sex and curricular level applying two instruments: psychological types of Myers and Briggs form M Spanish version (MBTI, 2012) and the Inventory of Styles of Learning from Kolb (IEA of Kolb). Were included 372 subjects, 208 (56 %) female and 164 (44 %) male. According to the learning style, the subjects were characterized mainly by divergent (63 % of the sample), followed by the accommodating group (26 % of the sample) and finally followed by the assimilating and convergent group with 8 % and 3 % respectively. In more advance curricular level, mainly at dental clinics level and dealing with patients, the psychological type gradually changed with predominance of the extroversion dimension and increase of the Judgment dimension to an ESTJ. The learning style at the fourth, fifth and sixth levels was more divergent to end with an accommodating style in sixth grade students. It can be concluded that the psychological types and learning styles were not homogeneous at the different curricular levels.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality type test book, which is widely used in the field of personal counseling, team organization, school education and research. This study carried out MBTI of 361 medical students in the second grade of premedical course of Keimyung University School of Medicine from 2014 to 2018, and analyzed the data to use them for the students' education. The personality type was mostly distributed to ISTJ, ISTP, ESTP and ESTJ in order among 16 types. According to preference tendency, it was found out that the introverted type was extroverted, the recognition type was intuition type, the thinking type was emotional type, and the recognition type was more distributed than the judgment type. The psychological functions were ST, SF, NF, NT. MBTI type analysis of medical students shows that it is possible to organize members in group activities to improve their ability to understand themselves and understand others in class scenes. In addition, we expect to be able to design for improvement of stress management, conflict management, and communication ability. In the career counseling scene, in addition to the MBTI data analysis, it is expected that it will be possible to recommend a major suitable for the student personality type in parallel with other psychological tests. In addition, we expect to study the preferred field of study, satisfaction with the major in the future research by continuous data accumulation and analysis.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to provide Simulation Problem-Based Learning (S-PBL) for community visit nursing students according to their Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types for learner-focused education and to verify its effectiveness. METHODS: This study was conducted with subjects having the ST (Sensing-Thinking) and NF (iNtuition-Feeling) personality types, which are conflicting personality types, and forty-one subjects were allocated to the experimental group and nineteen subjects to the control group. The training, provided to subjects once a week, for a total of six times and 100 minutes each time, was with respect to the improvement of problem-solving ability, communication ability, and clinical practice competency. Data were analyzed through t-test and independent t-test. RESULTS: After training, the self-rated problem-solving competency (t=3.07, p=.003), communication ability (t=2.86, p=.006), and academic self-efficacy (t=2.44, p=.018) were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. However, there was not a significant difference in the clinical practice ability rated by subjects themselves (t=1.50, p=.140) and by professors (t=1.08, p=.285), and in the communication ability rated by professors (t=0.72, p=.474). CONCLUSION: The community visit nursing S-PBL, according to MBTI personality types, is a helpful learning method for nursing students participating in self-directed learning of nursing theory and practice.

PURPOSE: Medical students are exposed to various interpersonal relationships with patients, faculty and colleagues. Therefore, a clear understanding of their personality types and interpersonal problems is vital in creating an appropriate educational program for medical students. This study intends to explore the characteristics of interpersonal problems based on medical students' personality types. METHODS: The Myers-Briggs type inventory(MBTI) and Korean Inventory of Interpersonal Problems were used to assess the first-year medical students at Yonsei University College of Medicine, 2006. RESULTS: The personality types focusing on the interpersonal domain showed that the medical students could be categorized into four types: analytical type(47.2%), driving type(30.3%), amiable type(12.4%), and expressive type(10.1%). The characteristics of interpersonal problems data were within normal range. The relationship between the personality indicator and the characteristics of interpersonal problems is statistically significant in extraversion-introversion. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that the personality factors of medical students are correlated to the interpersonal problems they face. Thus, educational programs that take into account personality types and characteristics of interpersonal problems are crucial in providing high-quality medical education.

PURPOSE: The patient-centered attitude is an effort to understand patients themselves as well as their disease. The doctor-oriented approach has been shifting to one where patients and participate in the deciding of medical service. We performed this study to investigate the patient-centeredness and influencing variables associated with personality traits. METHODS: We recruited 94 medical students before their psychiatric clinical clerkship, and all subjects were assessed by a structured questionnaire including socio-demographic data, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI), Meyers-Briggs type indicator(MBTI), the patient-practitioner Orientation Scale(PPOS), and the Authoritarian Personality scale(AP), The AP and PPOS questionnaires were repeated after the psychiatric clinical clerkship. RESULTS: After the psychiatric clinical clerkship, the AP scores were significantly lower than before, and the PPOS significantly higher than before. The change in the AP scores were related to MBTI, correlated with MMPI subscales, however, inversely correlated with the changes in PPOS after the clinical clerkship. CONCLUSION: The authoritarian personality trait was related to, not only the personality trait including MBTI and MMPI subscales, but also to patient-centeredness in medical students.

PURPOSE: This study set its goals on determining 1) medical students' personality types, 2) the correlation between medical students' personality types and their satisfaction in medical school, 3) the correlation between medical students' personality types and class achievements, 4) the correlation between medical students' satisfaction in medical school and class achievements and 5) a proposition for using the results to benefit medical education. Methods: The study used the Korean version of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) GS form. This inventory was admisistered to the medical students during their orientation at the beginning of the first year of medical school. A total of 245 first year students in the years 2002 and 2003 completed the inventory. The study used the windows version of SPSS 11.0 statistics program. RESULTS: The noticeable majority of medical students were introverted (68.2%) -Sensing (68.6%) - Thinking (71.4%) -Judgers (60.0%). Comparing personality types with satisfaction in medical school and satisfaction in medical school with class achievements showed no significant correlation. There was, however, a significant difference seen in comparing personality types with students' achievements. Judging-type students showed higher class achievements (3.2) than perceptive-type (2.7), and SJ types showed higher class achievements (3.3) than SP types (2.6). CONCLUSION: The results of this study were consistent with previous studies done using Korean college students as subjects. And as the ISTJ type is appropriate for jobs related to medical care, the majority of medical students seem to have found their adequate career path. Implications for teaching and learning strategies, and for using the results of MBTI in medical students' career planning are discussed.

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this study is to provide a useful insight for developing effective teaching and student counseling methods by understanding the relationship between four preference patterns of MBTI personality types and EWHA defense mechanisms of nursing college students. METHOD: The data used in this research were collected administrating EWHA defense mechanism test and MBTI personality type instrument to 195 nursing students in the period of November 3 through September 16 in 2000. Collected data were analysed by pc-SPSS 10.0. RESULT: Three general conclusions were drawn from the study results: (1) in terms of personality type, 'Extraversion', 'Sensing', 'Thinking', and 'Judgement' types showed high frequency respectively; (2) in terms of defense mechanism, 'Identification' showed the highest score, and then 'suppression' scored next followed by 'Humor'. However, 'Acting out' showed the lowest average score, and then 'Projection' followed by 'Denial'; (3) Based on the relationship between defense mechanism and four MBTI preference patterns, it can be drawn that students with the preference of 'Extraversion' usually use defense mechanism of 'Altruism', 'Sublimation', 'Distortion', 'Controlling', and 'Humor'. In comparison, students with the preference of 'Introversion' often use the defence mechanism of 'Evasion' and 'Projection'. CONCLUSION: The study results can be utilized in both fields of education and counseling: (1) in the field of education, this study can provide a basis for developing a suitable teaching method for each personality types of nursing students; (2) for counseling practitioners, the results of this study provide the useful insights to understand nursing college students' communication skills, behavior patterns, and ability of coping with problems in the process of counseling.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to identify medical career decisions choosing a medical specialty. METHODS: Medical career decisions were influenced by a number of factors which may be grouped into three categories: (1) personal, (2) demographic, and (3) environmental. In pre-medical stage, choice of a medical school was mainly decided by interests and aptitude(34.2%). Social class and economic condition that can be obtained after the graduation was second important determining factor(27.6%). In choosing medical specialty, aptitude was predominant determinant(84.5%) and the influence of other factors were weak. Personal value system and perception of self-capacity had no significant influence. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was used to measure four dimensions of personality. RESULTS: As a result authors, could find the relationship between the specialty preferences of medical students and interns and their psychological type. The best match was possible for those who favored psychiatry and surgery. Prospective psychiatrists' perception were tempered by intuition which means highly theoretical and reflective orientation. They were also introverted and sensitive. Prospective surgeons were more assertive than students with other specialty choice.

The objective of this study was to evaluate college students' dietary and health behaviors in relation to their Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality preferences. Dietary and health behaviors were surveyed for 444 college students who performed the MBTI personality test. Only 6.1% of the subjects regularly had three meals a day, while 27.1% ate breakfast every day. Fifty-six point nine percent of the students took less than 15 minutes to eat a meal and had the habit of eating fast. The number of food groups they ate was, on average, 2.74 and was eaten mainly at dinner. This showed that college students did not eat a large variety of foods. Eighty-two percent of the subjects drank alcoholic beverages, 21.4% smoked, and 69.3% exercised. In addition, 73.9% of them were not satisfied with their body image, but they were not eager to try weight control. There were not many significant differences between Extraversion (E)-Introversion (I), Sensing (S)-iNtuition (N), and Thinking (T)-Feeling (F) in their dietary and heath behaviors, although some gender differences existed. Significantly better dietary and health behaviors were shown in subjects preferring Judging (J) rather than Perceiving (P). There behaviors included eating breakfast, regularly eating three meals a day, smoking less, exercising more and having a lower tendency to night-eating. The personality preference of J-P could be useful index for nutritional education and counseling or behavior modification programs for obese people.

PURPOSE: This study was to identify the relationship between personality type, college admission SAT scores and GPA scores of student nurses. METHOD: The data was collected from 270 student nurses enrolled in a baccaleaureate program in Seoul. MBTI was used to identify students' personality and SAT score and GPA score were collected over 4 years. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS Win. package. RESULT: 1. There were slightly more extrovert (E) type (54.4%) students than the introvert (I) type; more sensing (S) type (71.1%) than the intuitive (N) type. 2. The introvert type students had significantly higher SAT scores than those of the extrovert type (p=.002). 3. The judging type students had significantly higher GPA scores throughout their college years than the perceiving type. 4. There was no statistically significant relationship between SAT and GPA scores. SAT scores did not accurately predict students' academic achievement in college in this sample. CONCLUSION: The distribution of the personality types in the sample was different from the general population which may suggest that college admission criteria is biased toward certain personality type. Since different personality types process information and cope with the outside world differently, effective teaching strategies need to be considered for each class.

OBJECTIVE: We attempted to investigate the relation between naturally occurring hypnotic experiences and hypnotizability. We examined the correlations among hypnotic induction profile scores, natural hypnotic scores, induction scores and MBTI personality types. METHODS: Sixty-three medical students completed NHQ(natural hypnotic questionnaire) developed from a list of naturally occurring hypnotic-like experiences and MBTI(Myers-Briggs Type Inventory), HIF(Hypnotic Induction Profile) was also administered to all the subjects. HIF score and IND(induction score) were obtained. RESULTS: 1) The NHS(natural hypnotic score) was significantly correlated with IND in all the subjects. The IND also showed significant correlation with HIF score. 2) There was no significant correlation between NHS and HIP scores. 3) HIF scores were positively correlated with induction scores in all types of MBTI. 4) Natural hypnotic scores were positively correlated with HIF scores and induction scores in introvert and thinking types. 5) There were positive correlations between natural hypnotic scores and induction scores in intuition and judgment types. CONCLUSION: The natural hypnotic scores were correlated with induction scores. It is suggested that the more the naturally-occurring hypnotic experience is experienced, the better the hypnotic induction is induced In introvert and thinking types of MBTI personality types.

Objective: To study the relationship between personality type and risky decision-making.Methods: By means of cluster sampling, 210 undergraduate students from military school were investigated with MBTI-G personality type scale and self-made decision-making scale. We randomly divided 210 undergraduate participants into two groups. The first group (N=109) received a positive format, the second (N=101) a negative format.Results:First, in positive framing, the results of analysis in dimensions of Sensing-Intuition and Thinking-Feeling revealed a significant relationship between option and personality types. In negative faming, the results of analysis in dimensions of personality types indicated that options appeared to be independent of the personality types. Second, the preferences for the risky option of the subjects scoring highly on Introversion, Sensing, Feeling and Perceiving were almost the same as that for the safe option in the positive framing, their preferences for the risky option were significantly more obvious than that for the safe option in the negative framing. Subjects scoring highly on Thinking and Judging were likely to prefer the risky option in both positive and negative framing, their preferences for the risky option were more distinct in the negative frame(?2=4.39,P=0.036;?2=10.47,P=0.001). The analyses in Extraversion and Intuition indicated that options appeared to be independent of the personality type. Conclusion: Personality type is related to decision-making behavior and is predictor of risk-taking.
