Abstract
Objective: The goal of this study was to investigate personality preferences of medical students and to examine the relationship between personality profiles and their satisfaction with major and student life. Methods : The MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), which measures personality preferences, was administered by medical students (n = 94) who began to qualify from the Yonsei University College of Medicine in 2007. The resulting personality profiles of the medical students were correlated with scores of the satisfaction with major and student life Results: First, there were more preference types of Introversion (61.71%), Sensing (67.66%), thinking (73.41%) and Judging (61.71%) than Extraversion (38.29%), Intuition (22.34%), Feeling (26.59%) and Perception (38.29%). Most medical students are personality type ISTJ (24.21%), followed by ESTJ (17.02%). Second, students with the preference for Extraversion and Intuition were more satisfied with their major and student life. Third, the preference for Judging showed higher scores in the satisfaction with major. Conclusions: This study might give implications for the psychological well-being and successful studying of rnedical students.
