Abstract
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Personal Orientation Inventory, and Rokeach's scale provided measures of various normal personality characteristics for 170 applicants interviewed between 1974 and 1977 for the physician-extender training program. Those 71 applicants selected were more self-actualizing and more intuitive than those 76 not selected. The 23 students who failed were significantly less intuitive than those graduating. They also were more judgmental, more dogmatic, and less perceptive.
