Abstract
Objectives: To study the change of personality types of Korean medical students focusing on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Methods: A survey was conducted on 84 Korean medical students to investigate the change of personality types focusing on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Results: In both freshman and senior student groups, the ISTJ was the most common type. The order of the number of the type changes during the university years was 1 type (45.2%)>2 types (23.8%)>3 types (14.3%)>0 types (11.9%)>4 types (1.8%), and the score of I, S, T, P type increased. Conclusions: As a result of the Korean medical students' MBTI type changes during the university years, the types were changed rather than fixed.
