AbstractBackground:Careers in medicine are embarked on by people with various personalities, with highly strung and motivated characters usually drawn to surgery. This study was conducted to identify the personality types of ENT surgeons in comparison to a control group of foundation doctors.Method:A validated personality questionnaire was distributed to ENT specialty trainees and two cohorts of foundation doctors between October 2013 and November 2015. The questionnaires were scored and individuals were categorised as having either type A or type B personalities.Results:Response rates were 90 per cent (26 out of 29) for ENT specialty trainees and 76 per cent (79 out of 104) for foundation doctors. There was a significantly higher proportion of type A personalities in the ENT specialty trainees compared to the foundation doctors (18 out of 26 ENT specialty trainees vs 32 out of 79 foundation doctors; p = 0.01, chi-square = 6.4708). There were no associations between personality type and grade, gender or subspecialty of interest.Conclusion:ENT surgeons are more likely to be of type A personality in comparison to foundation doctors. This could be a reflection of the recruitment process into the specialty or a characteristic of individuals that get drawn to ENT.

The current study investigated the possibility that certain psychosocial factors may actually have a direct impact on the basic muscular mechanics of the human at work. The psychosocial dimension chosen for this evaluation was personality type. The Jenkins Activity Survey was used to classify subjects as Type A (n=10) or Type B (n=10) individuals. Each subject participated in an EMG-based biomechanical study to investigate the coactivation patterns of the muscles that span the elbow joint. Subjects performed isometric, isokinetic (50 deg/sec) and isoacceleration (50 deg/sec/sec) elbow flexion exertions. Isometric exertions were performed at 20, 40, 60 and 80% of maximum isometric flexion torque. Dynamic exertions were performed at 20 and 40% of maximum isometric flexion torque. Results showed that Type A individuals experienced significantly higher antagonist muscle activity than Type B individuals. Biomechanical implications and possible relations to Type A characteristics are discussed.
