High self-awareness can promote communication and empathy. The Enneagram is a well-known personality tool to enhance self-awareness. We evaluated differences in empathy among medical students using the Enneagram typology.
This cross-sectional study included first and second grade students at the Inje University College of Medicine. The Jefferson Scale of Empathy was used to measure empathy and the Korean Enneagram Personality Type Indicator was used for examining personality characteristics. Empathy scores were analyzed according to the Triads, Hornevian group, Harmonic group, and each Enneagram type.
The Instinctive triad, the Withdrawns, and the Positive outlook group were the most common, and the Feeling triad, the Assertives, and the Emotional realness group were the least common. Students in the Feeling triad and the Dutifuls had higher compassionate care (CC) scores as compared to their counterparts. Type 2 and 6 students showed the two highest empathy and CC scores. The empathy score of type 3 students was the lowest. Type 7 had the lowest CC score but the highest perspective taking score.
These differences in empathy according to Enneagram personality types can be applied to medical education to maintain and improve medical students' empathy.
高度的自我意识可促进沟通与同理心。九型人格是一种广为人知的用于增强自我意识的人格工具。我们使用九型人格类型学评估了医学生在同理心方面的差异。
这项横断面研究纳入了仁济大学医学院的一、二年级学生。使用杰斐逊同理心量表来测量同理心，并使用韩国九型人格类型指标来检查人格特征。根据三元组、霍妮组、和谐组以及每种九型人格类型分析同理心得分。
本能三元组、退缩型和积极展望组最为常见，情感三元组、自信型和情感真实组最不常见。与其他学生相比，情感三元组和尽责型的学生具有更高的同情关怀（CC）得分。2型和6型学生表现出最高的同理心和CC得分。3型学生的同理心得分最低。7型的CC得分最低，但观点采取得分最高。
根据九型人格类型在同理心方面的这些差异可应用于医学教育，以维持和提高医学生的同理心。
