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.

이 연구의 목적은 소아치과 전공의와 타과 전공의 간 성격 유형을 비교하는 것이다. 77명의 대한민국 소아치과 전공의와 71명의 타과 전공의를 대상으로 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator 설문지를 이용하여 성격 유형을 조사하였다. 이는 양 극단의 4가지 선호지표로 구성되어 있으며, 각각 외향형 / 내향형, 감각형 / 직관형, 사고형 / 감정형, 판단형 / 인식형으로 나뉜다. 이 4가지의 선호지표를 조합하여 총 16가지의 성격 유형을 결정한다. 소아치과 전공의에서는 감각형과 판단형이 높은 비율을 보였으나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 성격 유형은 두 그룹 모두 ISTJ형이 제일 많았다. 통계적인 유의성은 오직 성별에서만 나타났으며, 남성이 여성보다 사고형의 비율이 높았다. 이번 연구는 국내에서 처음으로 소아치과와 타과 전공의 간 성격 유형 분석을 시행한 점에 의의가 있다. 설문 전 오리엔테이션 교육과 표본 대상의 확대를 통한 진전된 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 보인다.
