The objective for this study was to determine a means of using non-cognitive variables to target undergraduate efforts towards likely candidates for specific residency choice. APPROACH AND MATERIALS: Over a three year spread, a volunteer cohort of freshmen medical students was assessed for the non-cognitive variable of personality preference using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to determine its accuracy in predicting the choice of specialty training.
Of the 98 participants, 13 ultimately chose a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN). Four had scores which classified them with the personality preference ESFP (Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving), representing a ratio of 3.5 to 1 when compared to students expressing other personality preferences among the total sample of subjects.
These preliminary findings indicated that classification of personality preference among freshmen medical students is a statistically reliable means of predicting future residency choices.
本研究的目的是确定一种利用非认知变量的方法,以便针对本科阶段的学生,使其努力成为特定住院医师选择的潜在候选人。
在三年时间里,使用迈尔斯-布里格斯类型指标(MBTI)对一组志愿参与的大一医学生进行非认知变量的人格偏好评估,以确定其在预测专业培训选择方面的准确性。
在98名参与者中,有13人最终选择了妇产科住院医师培训。其中四人的得分将他们归类为人格偏好为ESFP(外向、实感、情感、感知),与在全部受试者样本中表达其他人格偏好的学生相比,比例为3.5比1。
这些初步研究结果表明,大一医学生的人格偏好分类是预测未来住院医师选择的一种统计学上可靠的方法。
