The results described in this article represent a first comprehensive description of the psychological types of health care executives. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), an instrument that assesses an individual's psychological preferences along extraversion/introversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving dimensions, was administered to a nationwide sample of active American College of Healthcare Executives affiliated Fellows, Members, and Nominees. The psychological preferences among these affiliates are described and compared to general business management norms. Similar to what is observed in the general business sector, the most frequently occurring psychological type seen among health executives was thinking-judging. Unlike their general business counterparts, health care executives were observed to be significantly more thinking and less feeling in their psychological orientation. Health care executives working in for-profit settings revealed a greater preference for intuition than those in not-for-profit settings, who indicated a preference for sensing. Further examinations are made by membership status and gender.
本文所述结果首次全面描述了医疗保健高管的心理类型。迈尔斯-布里格斯类型指标（MBTI）是一种用于评估个人在外向/内向、感觉/直觉、思考/情感以及判断/感知维度上心理偏好的工具，该指标被应用于美国医疗保健高管学院在职会员、准会员和被提名人的全国性样本。文中描述了这些会员的心理偏好，并与一般商业管理规范进行了比较。与一般商业领域的观察结果类似，医疗保健高管中最常见的心理类型是思考-判断型。与一般商业领域的同行不同，医疗保健高管在心理取向上表现出显著更多的思考和更少的情感。营利性机构的医疗保健高管比非营利性机构的高管表现出对直觉更强的偏好，而非营利性机构的高管则更倾向于感觉。研究还按会员身份和性别进行了进一步分析。
