The marked increase in women enrolled in dental school warrants a reassessment of dental student personality profiles. The purpose of this study was threefold: (1) to compare personality profiles of two first-year dental classes, (2) to compare male and female dental student profiles to their respective norm populations, and (3) to compare male and female dental student personality traits with each other. The Comrey Personality Scales were administered to two first-year dental classes at the University of California at Los Angeles. Between sex and within sex comparisons were made over ten inventory scales. Results indicated that the collective personality profiles of male and female dental students were markedly similar to each other for both classes. These results do not reflect the differences encountered between the sexes in the norm population. It was also noted that the "average" male dental student differed from the male norms on Orderliness versus Lack of Compulsion, Social Conformity versus Rebelliousness, and Emotional Stability versus Neuroticism. In addition, "average" female dental student differed from the female norms on Masculinity versus Femininity.
进入牙科学院的女性人数显著增加，这就需要重新评估牙科学生的性格特征。本研究的目的有三个：（1）比较两个一年级牙科班级的性格特征；（2）将男女牙科学生的性格特征与其各自的正常人群进行比较；（3）比较男女牙科学生的性格特征。对加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校的两个一年级牙科班级进行了康瑞尔性格量表测试。在十个量表上进行了性别间和性别内的比较。结果表明，两个班级的男女牙科学生的总体性格特征彼此非常相似。这些结果并未反映出正常人群中男女之间存在的差异。还注意到，“普通”男性牙科学生在条理性与缺乏强制力、社会顺从与叛逆以及情绪稳定性与神经质方面与男性正常标准不同。此外，“普通”女性牙科学生在男性气质与女性气质方面与女性正常标准不同。
