Interesting, isn’t it? More interesting is yet to come!

Have you ever wondered whether the sixteen MBTI personality test, as a widely used professional personality test, can also be used in hospitals? What personality traits are more suitable for being a surgeon? Are the MBTI results of doctors in different departments oriented? There are really scholars who have carried out such research!

Researchers from Yale University School of Medicine assess MBTI personality among surgeonsThe correlation between test results and risk tolerance has really found some clues! Perhaps an ENTP on a personality test has an “innate advantage” to being a successful surgeon. The findings were published in the Journal of Surgical Education.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsurg.2013.07.014

In the trial, surgeons were asked to take the MBTI personality test and complete Physicians’ Reactions to Uncertainty (PRU) and Physician Risk Attitude (PRA) Two questionnaires were used to assess their risk tolerance.

Interesting results:

①Surgeons with T (thinking) in their personality were more likely to have a “poor outcome” on the PRU scale than those with F (affecting). “has a higher tolerance;

②Surgeons with E (extroverted) in their personality were more likely to be less likely to be less likely to be more likely to be less likely than those with I (introverted) in the PRU scale. have a higher risk tolerance for admitting their mistakes to other doctors;

③Surgeons with P (perception) in their personality performed better on the PRA scale than those with J (judgment). High risk tolerance.

PRA scale

Data from this study showed that physicians with the highest risk tolerance tended to exhibit personality types E (extroverted), T (thinking), and P (perceiving), with I in the personality , F, J doctors may have a weak tolerance for risk.

In other words, if your personality contains E, T, P, such as ENTP or ESTP, there is no doubt that you are a surgeon! It turns out that if Mark Twain, Leonardo da Vinci, and Edison, who were ENTPs, had studied medicine in those years, they would have become famous “surgeons” in the history of the world. As an INFJ, it is fortunate that I did not go to surgery. , otherwise I’m afraid there will be one more “quack doctor” ()

In addition, studies have shown that there are more ISTJs among dentists, more than 50% according to incomplete statistics; among anesthesiologists, ES in personality tend to have higher performance than IN Scoring; a survey of medical students showed that ESFP was the most common personality type, in addition, ESFP preferred surgery, ESTJ preferred internal medicine, ESFJ preferred gynecology, ISFJ preferred pediatrics, ISTP preferred cardiology…

Of course, the sample size of the above research is small, it is only for reference (yu) test (le), and it is not enough to be a basis for career selection. However, let’s test your own MBTI 16 personality tests together, which also adds a “bragging” capital~
