  • Title: Personality of dental students in two dental schools in the United Kingdom and in Ireland.
    Author: Fenlon MR, McCartan BE, Sheriff M, Newton TJ.
    Journal: Eur J Dent Educ; 2001 Nov; 5(4):173-6. PubMed ID: 11683895.
    Abstract:
    The personality characteristics of students from two dental schools, one in the United Kingdom which admitted students using interviews, and one in Ireland which accepted students solely on examination results, were assessed using the short form of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Results were compared with norms for age and sex. Personality scores of students from the Irish dental school were not significantly different from normal scores. Female and male students from the United Kingdom school scored higher than would be expected on extraversion, and male students from the same school scored lower than would be expected on neuroticism. The differences in personality between the two schools may be explained by the different methods of admission.
