Purpose: The purpose of this research was to examine the medical students¡¯ personality with stress and developmental level. The study explored three overarching topics: How are medical students¡¯ personality types reflected in an enneagram? Are there any differences between subtypes of stress points? How are the students¡¯ developmental levels by gender, academic level, and enneatypes?
Methods: The subjects were 414 medical students in three Korean medical schools. Enneagram Personality Types Inventory (Korean version) was used. These enneatypes were divided into four subtypes: centers of intelligence, hornevian triads, self-consciousness, and harmonic group. Enneatypes and stress points were analyzed statistically by frequency and percentage of enneatypes, chi-square test, and ANOVA.
Results: Distribution of enneatypes; type 9 was the most frequent class (n=136, 32.9%). Types 1, 3, 4, and 9 had more disintegrated students than other types (¥ö2=59.2, p=0.000). Subtype analysis; in body-centered type more students were disintegrated than integrated or mediocre (¥ö2=25.8, p=0.000). In behavior patterns, aggressive and passive types showed more disintegration (¥ö2=25.2, p=0.000), and in self-consciousness groups only inner order types showed integration (¥ö2=19.3, p=0.001). In harmonic group, positive outlook types contained the most disintegrated students (¥ö2=20.5, p=0.000). Majority of medical students were in disintegrated developmental status.
Conclusion: A program should be developed for students to know their ego-identity plainly and overcome their disintegration, based on their enneatypes. Such a program will help students improve their ways of thinking or their behavior and become more secure.
