Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this research is to study the psychological characteristics of Korean medical students with a focus on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). Methods: The survey was conducted on 101 Korean medical students to investigate their psychological characteristics with a focus on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2. Results: Among the 16 MBTI personality types, ISTJ was the most common type with the prevalence of 24.8%. According to gender-based classification, there were more men in the J-type category and more women in the P-type category. In the MMPI-2 scales, males showed high scores in Pd, AGGR, DISC, MAC-R, and GM, and females showed high scores in Mf and GF. Conclusions: The personality test for male and female Korean medical students revealed few differences on some scales of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2.
