The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was administered to five classes of students (n=161) at the beginning and end of their dental education to evaluate changes in personality type. The study showed 75.8 percent of students change type during their dental education using one standard, and 11.2 percent showed changes in personality using another standard. (GLR)
