Personality is one variable that correlates with specialty selection and practice type. To test our hypothesis that there has been a change in the personality type of those entering Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) and to identify the academic potential of those in rehabilitation, we invited all residents and graduates of our training program to participate in a study of personality types within PM&R by completing a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Thirty residents and 48 graduates completed the questionnaire. A wide range of personality types were represented in our sample. The most common types are shared by a number of other people-oriented, primary care specialties. There was a statistically significant difference between residents and graduates on two of the four MBTI indexes, with graduates more introverted (P < 0.05) and judging (P < 0.001) than the present residents. Intuition, previously correlated with research and academic practice, was the dominant process for the majority of graduates and residents. This would confirm, according to type theory, the academic potential of both graduates and residents in our training program.
个性是与专业选择和执业类型相关的一个变量。为了检验我们的假设，即进入物理医学与康复（PM&R）领域的人员的个性类型发生了变化，并确定康复领域人员的学术潜力，我们邀请了我们培训项目的所有住院医师和毕业生通过完成一份迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标（MBTI）问卷来参与一项关于PM&R领域个性类型的研究。30名住院医师和48名毕业生完成了问卷。我们的样本涵盖了广泛的个性类型。其他一些以患者为导向的初级保健专业也有最常见的类型。在四个MBTI指标中的两个指标上，住院医师和毕业生之间存在统计学上的显著差异，毕业生比现职住院医师更内向（P < 0.05）且更倾向于判断（P < 0.001）。直觉，以前与研究和学术实践相关，是大多数毕业生和住院医师的主导思维方式。根据类型理论，这将证实我们培训项目中毕业生和住院医师的学术潜力。
