The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was used to understand personality preferences of a sample of first year students over a 3 year period (1985, 1986, 1987) at the University of Manitoba School of Dental Hygiene. The MBTI yields four preference scores - extraversion/introversion (E-I), sensing/intuition (S-N), thinking/feeling (T-F), and judging/perception (J-P). Combinations of these four preferences yield 16 different personality types. Results indicated that the highest ranked types were ISFJ (23.6%) and ESFJ (18.1%). Temperament type results indicated that the SJ type (51.4%) was predominant. Educational implications of type differences for dental hygiene educators are suggested.
迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标（MBTI）被用于了解曼尼托巴大学口腔卫生学院1985年、1986年和1987年这三年间一年级学生样本的性格偏好。MBTI产生四个偏好分数——外向/内向（E-I）、实感/直觉（S-N）、思考/情感（T-F）和判断/感知（J-P）。这四种偏好的组合产生16种不同的性格类型。结果表明，排名最高的类型是ISFJ（23.6%）和ESFJ（18.1%）。气质类型结果表明，SJ类型（51.4%）占主导地位。文中还提出了性格差异对口腔卫生教育工作者的教育启示。
