This his article reports the findings of a study conducted to investigate the personality types of Chinese dental school applicants. The Chinese version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) (Form G) was used to assess the personality styles of 332 dental school applicants from the mainland of China. The results of the MBTI for Chinese dental school applicants were compared with a previous study of applicants from the U.K. A higher percentage of this group of Chinese applicants scored higher for Introversion (I) than Extroversion (E); both Chinese and English applicants preferred Judging (J) to Perceiving (P). The dominant personality types in Chinese applicants were ISTJ, ESTJ, and ISFP. The findings suggest that the personality types of Chinese dental students may be somewhat different from the personality profiles exhibited by dental students from other nations. The findings may be of value to individuals who desire to investigate personality type differences among dental students with different cultural backgrounds.
本文报道了一项旨在调查中国牙科专业申请者性格类型的研究结果。使用中文版的迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标（MBTI）（G版）对来自中国大陆的332名牙科专业申请者的性格类型进行评估。将中国牙科专业申请者的MBTI测试结果与之前一项针对英国申请者的研究结果进行比较。这组中国申请者中，内向型（I）得分高于外向型（E）的比例更高；中国和英国的申请者都更倾向于判断型（J）而非感知型（P）。中国申请者中占主导地位的性格类型是ISTJ、ESTJ和ISFP。研究结果表明，中国牙科专业学生的性格类型可能与其他国家牙科专业学生所展现的性格特征有所不同。这些发现可能对那些希望研究不同文化背景牙科专业学生性格类型差异的人有价值。
