The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types were established in 1940s. Career planning of doctors were found related to the MBTI personality. There are 16 subtypes of MBTI based on 4 dichotomies. Relationship between MBTI and career choice has been changed gradually in last few decades. Extroverted doctors are supposed to select surgery and introverted are prone to choose medicine according to MBTI study. This was a cross-sectional study on the female interns of Sylhet Women's Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh from September 2021 to November 2021, to evaluate their MBTI personality type and the career planning of these individual subtypes. Commonest subtypes of participants ISTP (Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving) (14.13%) and ESTP (Extraverted, Observant, Thinking and Prospecting) (14.13%). Other common MBTI personality subtypes were ISTJ (Introversion, Sensing, Thinking and Judgment) (9.78%), ISFP (Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving) (8.69%), ESFJ (Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling and Judging) (6.52%), ENTP (Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking and Perceiving) (5.43%), INFJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Judging) (5.43%), INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking and Judging) (5.43%) and ISFJ (Introverted, Sensing, Feeling and Judging) (5.43%). Introverted (57.7%) participants were more than extroverted (42.3%) participants. Percentage of general surgery and OBG were higher in the extroverted group and the percentage of medicine was more in the introverted group but the differences were not statistically significant (p0.05). The career planning of ENFJ, ENFP, ESTP and ISTJ subtypes of participants of this study had similarity of those of MBTI database. |
