ResumenCon la finalidad de describir las características de personalidad del estudiante de la carrera de Cirujano Dentista de la Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala, se aplicó el cuestionario 16 PF a una muestra de 345 estudiantes. En la norma se encontró que los estudiantes cuentan con la capacidad mental escolar esperada para desempeñarse en sus estudios exitosamente, relacionándose y siendo sociables con los demás de una manera apropiada, confiando en las personas en términos aceptables, siendo flexibles en su comportamiento, mostrándose afirmativos sin ser dominantes y presentando una autosuficiencia adecuada para tomar sus propias decisiones. Como características positivas se catalogó a los estudiantes como objetivos y prácticos, conservadores y respetuosos de las normas establecidas, con capacidad de tolerar trabajos rutinarios y difíciles. Sin embargo, son también desobligados e inconstantes y poseen poco autocontrol. Mujeres y hombres a partir del segundo año de la carrera presentan ansiedad y los hombres, los dos años intermedios, son emocionalmente poco estables y maduros. Se discuten los resultados a la luz de las características que para esta profesión habría que modificar, así como del fortalecimiento de aquéllas que les permitan desempeñarse en el ejercicio profesional de una manera eficaz en beneficio de ellos mismos y de sus pacientes.AbstractTargeting the description of personality characteristics of dental students at the FES Iztacala a 16 PF questionnaire was applied to a 345 student sample.
