At one medical school in 1982, 175 entering medical students indicated their medical specialty preferences, completed Budner's Intolerance of Ambiguity scale, and supplied demographic information. Most (91%) completed medical school, and their specialty choices at graduation from the National Resident Matching Program were recorded. Initial specialty preference was a poor predictor of later specialty choice (R2 = .11). The students' intolerance of ambiguity was not significantly associated with either their initial medical specialty preferences or their specialty choices at graduations. This finding supports previous studies showing that specialty preferences changed dramatically during medical school, but does not reveal any support for a relationship between students' initial intolerance of ambiguity and their specialty selections.
1982年，在一所医学院，175名入学医学生表明了他们对医学专业的偏好，完成了布德纳的模糊容忍度量表，并提供了人口统计学信息。大多数人（91%）完成了医学院学业，并记录了他们在国家住院医师匹配计划毕业时的专业选择。最初的专业偏好并不能很好地预测后来的专业选择（R2 = 0.11）。学生对模糊的不容忍与他们最初的医学专业偏好或毕业时的专业选择均无显著关联。这一发现支持了先前的研究，即医学专业偏好在医学院学习期间发生了巨大变化，但并未显示出学生最初对模糊的不容忍与他们的专业选择之间存在任何关联。
