The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was employed to measure the nature and strength of dental students' various basic preference in perceiving and making judgments. The MBTI yields four sets of scores--extrovert-introvert (E-l), sensing-intuitive (S-N), thinking-feeling (T-F), and judging-perceptive (J-P)--and represents 16 personality types that define these preferences. The sample consisted of five classes at the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry (n = 217). The data indicated that the largest group (32 students) was ESFJ, while the next largest (30) was ESTJ. The least frequently represented groups were the INTP (3), the INFP (7), the INTP (7), and the ENTP (7). Dental students exhibited characteristics different from those of students in business, engineering, social work, medicine, and other fields. These findings have implications for admissions committee decisions as well as for the organization and curriculum of the dental school.
迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标（MBTI）被用于衡量牙科学生在感知和判断方面各种基本偏好的性质和强度。MBTI产生四组分数——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）——并代表定义这些偏好的16种人格类型。样本包括密西西比大学牙科学院的五个班级（n = 217）。数据表明，人数最多的群体（32名学生）是ESFJ型，第二大群体（30名）是ESTJ型。人数最少的群体是INTP（3人）、INFP（7人）、INTJ（7人）和ENTP（7人）。牙科学生表现出与商科、工程、社会工作、医学及其他领域学生不同的特征。这些发现对招生委员会的决策以及牙科学院的组织和课程设置都有影响。
