Identifying the Emergency Medicine Personality: A Multisite Exploratory Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to understand the personality characteristics of emergency medicine (EM) residents and assess consistency and variations among residency programs.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, a convenience sample of residents (N = 140) at five EM residency programs in the United States completed three personality assessments: the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI)-describing usual tendencies; the Hogan Development Survey (HDS)-describing tendencies under stress or fatigue; and the Motives, Values, and Preferences Inventory (MVPI)-describing motivators. Differences between EM residents and a normative population of U.S. physicians were examined with one-sample t-tests. Differences between EM residents by program were analyzed using one-way analysis
