Abstract

|
The purpose of this study was to compare the personality types between pediatric and other dental residents. 77 pediatric dental residents and 71 other dental residents in Korea were surveyed by Myers-Briggs Type Indicator questionnaire. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) had 4 personality dichotomies consisting of 2 opposite characteristics that were extraversion / introversion, sensing / intuition, thinking / feeling, and judging / perception. Combinations of these four dichotomies could make 16 personality types. The percentage of pediatric dental residents was higher in sensing and judging, but there were no statistically differences. The majority of personal type was ISTJ in both groups. Statistical significance observed only in gender. The ratio of thinking was higher in male than in female (p < 0.05). The meaning of this study was the first survey performed on the personality types between pediatric dental residents and other dental residents in Korea. Further study with pre-survey orientation and increased sample size should proceed.
