To explore the relationship between pharmacy students' social and behavioral competencies assessed using multiple mini-interviews (MMIs) and their personality traits. A retrospective study was conducted using data from two Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) cohorts. Students' self-reported scores from an externally validated tool completed during their first professional year that assessed five personality traits (openness to experiences, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and emotionality) were collected. Students' scores on empathy, integrity, adaptability, critical thinking, and collaboration were collected during MMIs conducted during the admissions process. Analysis of variance was used to test the homogeneity of the sample, and correlation analyses were used to determine the strength of relationships between variables. When examining for associations between students' personality traits and their social and behavioral competencies measured during the MMIs, we found a few significant but very weak correlations with extraversion. Our results revealed weak to negligible correlations between scores on competencies measured during the MMIs and personality traits, potentially because the assessments measured different constructs.
为了探索使用多项迷你面试（MMI）评估的药学专业学生的社会和行为能力与其人格特质之间的关系。采用回顾性研究方法，利用来自两个药学博士（PharmD）队列的数据。收集了学生在第一专业年期间完成的外部验证工具的自我报告分数，该工具评估了五个人格特质（开放性、责任心、外向性、宜人性和情绪性）。在招生过程中进行的 MMI 期间收集了学生的同理心、正直、适应性、批判性思维和协作能力的分数。使用方差分析来检验样本的同质性，并使用相关分析来确定变量之间关系的强度。在考察学生人格特质与在 MMI 期间测量的社会和行为能力之间的关联时，我们发现与外向性有一些显著但非常弱的相关性。我们的结果表明，在 MMI 期间测量的能力得分与人格特质之间存在弱到可以忽略不计的相关性，这可能是因为评估测量了不同的结构。
