The aim of this study was to determine whether the personality types of dental students and their group dynamics were linked to their problem-based learning (PBL) performance. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) instrument was used with 263 dental students enrolled in Seoul National University School of Dentistry from 2011 to 2013; the students had participated in PBL in their first year. A four-session PBL setting was designed to analyze how individual personality types and the diversity of their small groups were associated with PBL performance. Overall, the results showed that the personality type of PBL performance that was the most prominent was Judging. As a group became more diverse with its different constituent personality characteristics, there was a tendency for the group to be higher ranked in terms of PBL performance. In particular, the overperforming group was clustered around three major profiles: Extraverted Intuitive Thinking Judging (ENTJ), Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging (ISTJ), and Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging (ESTJ). Personality analysis would be beneficial for dental faculty members in order for them to understand the extent to which cooperative learning would work smoothly, especially when considering group personalities.

A quantitative inquiry into the relationship between learning styles, psychological types and standardized achievement examination performance of nurse aide students.

Purpose The study aimed to determine the personality types of the graduate students in Seoul National University School of Dentistry (SNU SD) and analyze the specific personal types that were linked to their performance in problem-based learning (PBL). Methods A total of 263 graduate students in SNU SD from 2011 to 2013, participated in PBL and completed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) GS form, which was analyzed statistically to determine whether their MBTI personality types were independent of their PBL performance. In particular, MBTI types were regressed on evaluation subcategories, including tutor evaluation and oral test. Results ESTJ (20.9%) and ISTJ (18.6%) were the most common MBTI personality types in dental graduate students. Compared with males, female students performed significantly better on the PBL. Judging was the most notable type in PBL performance, with its J-P index being statistically significant. Conclusion PBL is implemented, based on the perspective of student-centered education. Accordingly, the types of personality that usually matriculate in dental school should be monitored, and a student-centered approach to dental education should be adopted.

[The relationship between dental graduate students' MBTI types and academic achievement in problem-based learning].

The study focused on the investigation of the existing dynamics between the Myers Briggs Type Indicator personality profiling (MBTI), and General Weighted Average (GWA) of nursing students. The participants were 48 college students in Angeles City, Philippines. All the students were administered with the MBTI instrument. Descriptive statistics – measures of central tendency was used to analyze the data. General Weighted Averages (GWA) were higher in: Introversion compared to Extroversion, Sensing compared to Intuition, Judging compared to Perceiving, Thinking compared to Feeling. Moreover, results revealed that the top five Personality Types that had highest GWA’s were INFP – 2.0925, ISTJ – 2.11, INFJ – 2.23, ESFP – 2.246667 and ESTJ – 2.2542857 respectively. Surprisingly, majority of the students were ISFJ’s, which is not included in the top five Personality Types.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Personality Profiling and General Weighted Average (GWA) of Nursing Students.

The purpose of this study was an investigation of the characteristics of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) in nursing students. One hundred and nine students participated in this study and the MBTI profiles of them were compared to those of Korean university students. Descriptive were used to analyze the data with the SPSS Win 15.0 program. The nursing students had a preference for Extrovert (65.1%) rather than Introvert (34.9%), Sensing (74.3%) rather than Intuition (25.7%), Feeling (58.7%) rather than Thinking (41.3%), and Judging (70.6%) rather than Perceiving (29.4%). Of the 16 personality types in the MBTI, students who participated in the study could be found within all 16 categories. The significance of finding students in all 16 personality type categories is ESFJ, ESTJ, ISTJ, and ENFJ.
