Noting that noncognitive factors may be more predictive of success in a medical career than is intellectual ability or cognitive performance, we undertook a study to determine whether a surgical personality exists and to delineate the temperament and personality traits that contribute to its definition. The Krug Adult Personality Inventory, the Strelau Temperament Inventory, and Barclay's adjective checklist were administered to 110 physicians, 35 in a "controllable lifestyle" specialty, 28 in primary care, and 47 in surgery or a surgery subspecialty. In addition, participants completed a stress inventory. Results showed that surgeons form a distinct and homogeneous group based on temperament and personality traits. We suggest that noncognitive factors can be of use to medical educators in the selection, counseling, training, and evaluation of medical personnel.
鉴于非认知因素可能比智力或认知表现更能预测医学职业生涯的成功，我们开展了一项研究，以确定是否存在外科医生性格，并描绘有助于其定义的气质和人格特质。我们对110名医生进行了克鲁格成人性格量表、斯特雷劳气质量表和巴克利形容词核对表测试，其中35人从事“可控生活方式”专业，28人从事初级保健，47人从事外科或外科亚专业。此外，参与者还完成了一份压力量表。结果显示，基于气质和人格特质，外科医生构成了一个独特且同质的群体。我们建议，非认知因素可用于医学教育工作者对医务人员的选拔、咨询、培训和评估。
