ABSTRACT
Resumen El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar los niveles del síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo o Burnout (SB) y la percepción de calidad de vida profesional (CVP) en función de la tipología y/o estilos de personalidad de Torgensen (1 995) y algunas variables sociodemográficas y sociolaborales. Participaron 212 profesores de educación primaria. Se utilizó una estrategia asociativa de tipo comparativo transversal aplicando el Inventario de los Cinco Factores (NEO-FFI), el Cuestionario de Estar Quemado por el Trabajo (CESQT) y el Cuestionario de Vida Profesional (CVP-35). Se concluye que el estilo de personalidad está relacionada al SB, de modo que los profesores con personalidad Tipo Inseguro puntúan más alto en las escalas de Indolencia y Culpa; y los Tipo Empresario presentan mayor puntuación en la escala de Ilusión por el Trabajo y menor en la de Indolencia. Respecto al sexo, los hombres presentan mayores puntuaciones en las escalas de Indolencia y Culpa, mientras las mujeres obtienen mayores puntaciones en la de Ilusión por el Trabajo.
Abstract The main goal of the present study is to analyze the burnout syndrome levels (SB) and the perception of the professional quality of life (CVP) according to the typology and/or personality styles of Torgensen (1995) and some sociodemographic and socio-occupational variables. 212 primary school teachers participated. An associative strategy of transversal comparative type was used administering the Inventory of the Five Factors (NEO-FFI), the Questionnaire of Being Burned for Work (CESQT) and the Professional Life Questionnaire (CVP-35). It is concluded that the personality style is related to SB, being the teachers with Insecure Type personality, who score higher in the scales of Indolence and Guilt; and the Entrepreneurial Type who has the highest score in the motivation for Work scale and lowest in the Indolence scale. Regarding genders, men present higher scores in Indolence and Guilt, while women obtain higher scores in motivation for work.
ABSTRACT
@#<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: The Dentist Licensure Examination (DLE) is one of the most difficult pre-professional practice examinations in the Philippines. The personality type of a dental student can be a determining factor or a testfor-fit of the chosen college program, the DLE, and the eventual profession.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>OBJECTIVES</strong>: This study aimed to document the personality dichotomies and MBTI personality categories of the respondents.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>METHODS</strong>: Through the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), this cross-sectional investigation examined the Filipino students' personality type in a dental school in the Philippines and presented it through descriptive statistics.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>RESULTS</strong>: In retrospect to the personality dichotomies, majority or 44 (17.19%) of the students were of the Introverted feeling with intuition variety or the Introversion Intuition Feeling Perceiving (INFP) type. This personality type does not coincide with that of a dentist or dental student in other studies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>CONCLUSION</strong>: The mainstream dental students' personality types were inclined to traits that are indicative of the INFP professions (e.g. artists, counselors, social workers, etc.) and not of a prospective dentist. These findings will add to the database of dental education in the Philippines, and will enable the dental educators and schools to improve their educational strategies.</p>

PURPOSE: The study aimed to determine the personality types of the graduate students in Seoul National University School of Dentistry (SNU SD) and analyze the specific personal types that were linked to their performance in problem-based learning (PBL). METHODS: A total of 263 graduate students in SNU SD from 2011 to 2013, participated in PBL and completed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) GS form, which was analyzed statistically to determine whether their MBTI personality types were independent of their PBL performance. In particular, MBTI types were regressed on evaluation subcategories, including tutor evaluation and oral test. RESULTS: ESTJ (20.9%) and ISTJ (18.6%) were the most common MBTI personality types in dental graduate students. Compared with males, female students performed significantly better on the PBL. Judging was the most notable type in PBL performance, with its J-P index being statistically significant. CONCLUSION: PBL is implemented, based on the perspective of student-centered education. Accordingly, the types of personality that usually matriculate in dental school should be monitored, and a student-centered approach to dental education should be adopted.

El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo determinar niveles de burnout en educadoras de párvulos, en función de los tipos de personalidad y de las dependencias administrativas. Se diseñó un estudio no experimental, transversal descriptivo. Se evaluó el nivel de burnout con la versión MBI para profesores y los estilos de personalidad con el instrumento NEO- Five Factors Inventory. Se incluyó un cuestionario de variables sociodemográfi-cas. Por medio de ANOVA de una vía se demostró que existen diferencias en el nivel de agotamiento emocional entre educadoras de dependencias administrativas municipal y privada (p < 0.05). Se encontraron diferencias en el puntaje total de burnout entre los estilos de personalidad "espectador" y "escéptico" (p < 0.05), y en agotamiento emocional entre los estilos "es-céptico" y "complicado" (p < 0.05). Los resultados sugieren prestar atención a las educadoras de dependencia municipal y aquellas que puntúan alto en neuroticismo, pues parecen más propensas a experimentar burnout.
With the purpose to determine differences in burnout's level as function of personalities types and attendance in public or private school, a non-experimental study was designed. Burnout levels were measured with the MBI teacher's version and personalities types with the NEO-Five Factors Inventory. A set of socio-demographic variables was included. By means of ANOVA ONEWAY, differences were found in emotional exhaustion among kindergarten teachers who work in public and private school (p < 0.05). Differences were also found between spectator and skeptic personality types in burnout levels, and between skeptic and complicated types in emotional exhaustion (p < 0.05). These results emphasize the relevance to give attention to public school's educator and those who had high neuroticism's levels because they tend to have more burnout.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The study was designed to identify how different types of transfer student personality would be constituted in Seoul National University School of Dentistry (SNU SD) and delve into what personal types were often observed more competent in academic performance. METHODS: Among 40 students who transferred to SNU SD in 2004, 15 students voluntarily participated in completing the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI; GS form); then, it was tested whether or not their MBTI types would be dependent upon their final grades. In addition, another 32 out of the 50 students who were enrolled through a traditional pre-den system served as a control group. RESULTS: It was mainly found that ISTJ type was the most typical one for those transfer dental students as well as for other native dental students who excelled in their academic performance. The noticeable majority of transfer students were Introverted (67%), Sensing (80%), Thinking (86%), and Judging (80%), with S-J pattern being statistically significant. CONCLUSION: SNU SD has been in a rebuilding process in terms of student/outcome centered dental education to have it up to the global standards. For this reason, it is ultimately a crucial part of that process to understand what personality types of the dental students with different backgrounds in major are observed and thus recognize how to support their learning according to different patterns of individual personality.

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.

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.
