This study examined 140 medical illustrators to identify factors which may relate to professional success. Early childhood activities, family backgrounds, and relationships were compared in two groups of medical illustrators perceived as being either highly successful illustrators (strongly recognized for their work and their contributions to the profession), or less successful illustrators (minimally recognized for their work and their contributions). Data collected from the biographical questionnaire were analyzed using a MANOVA statistical technique followed by univariate analyses of variance.
