Anaesthesia. 1980 Jun;35(6):559-68. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2044.1980.tb03852.x.
No published information on the personality characteristics of a significant proportion of any specialty of the medical profession has been available to date. The author presents the results from the application of a personality questionnaire (Cattell's 16 PF Form C) to sample of anaesthetists (n = 231). These show that this sample of anaesthetists differs from the general population in a number of dimensions. They are more reserved, intelligent, assertive, serious, conscientious, self-sufficient and tense and less socially bold and self-assured. They also differ from a sample of general practitioners. Within the sample of anaesthetists, there are significant differences on a cluster of factors relating to stability. Evidence is quoted, from part of the sample, of a significant relationship between personality profiles and behaviour and performance. The author puts forward a descriptive picture of the 'good' anaesthetists and the obverse and the possible implications for the assessment and selection of applicants for this shortage specialty.
迄今为止，尚未有关于医学专业任何一个重要领域从业者人格特征的公开信息。作者呈现了一份人格问卷（卡特尔16种人格因素问卷C式）应用于麻醉师样本（n = 231）的结果。这些结果表明，该麻醉师样本在多个维度上与普通人群存在差异。他们更加内向、聪明、坚定、严肃、尽责、自给自足且紧张，社交上不那么大胆自信。他们也与全科医生样本有所不同。在麻醉师样本中，与稳定性相关的一组因素存在显著差异。从部分样本中引用的证据表明，人格特征与行为及表现之间存在显著关系。作者提出了“优秀”麻醉师的描述性画像、相反的情况以及对这个短缺专业申请人评估和选拔的可能影响。
