This study was based on a nationwide sample of 778 family practice residents in the mid-1980s and was conducted to determine the personality types that were most common among those residents. The results showed that the single most common personality type was that in which the individual prefers to see the world in terms of challenges and future possibilities and to make decisions based upon his or her subjective values. These results showed that the sample differed significantly in Myers-Briggs personality type from both the general practitioners of the 1950s and the early family practice residents of the 1970s, who preferred to see the world in terms of the immediate facts of experience and to make decisions objectively. There were also significant differences between the civilian and military family practice residents, but not between the community-based and university-based residents. Implications regarding future practice styles, physicians' personal values, and manpower needs are discussed.
本研究基于20世纪80年代中期全国范围内778名家庭医学住院医师的样本进行，旨在确定这些住院医师中最常见的人格类型。结果显示，最常见的单一人格类型是个体倾向于从挑战和未来可能性的角度看待世界，并基于其主观价值观做出决策。这些结果表明，该样本在迈尔斯-布里格斯人格类型上与20世纪50年代的全科医生以及20世纪70年代早期的家庭医学住院医师有显著差异，后两者倾向于从经验的直接事实角度看待世界并客观地做出决策。文职和军职家庭医学住院医师之间也存在显著差异，但社区型和大学型住院医师之间没有差异。文中讨论了有关未来执业方式、医生个人价值观和人力需求的相关影响。
