The Relationship of Cognitive, Personality, and Academic Measures to Anesthesiology Resident Clinical Performance

Pediatric Residents' Learning Styles and Temperaments and Their Relationships to Standardized Test Scores

“…This may be because convergers are the thinkers-doers, a learning style that has been shown to perform better on single, bestanswer type tests. 12,22 Lacorte and Risucci 11 and Reich et al 13 found that the temperaments of anesthesiology and pediatric residents, respectively, correlated with clinical performance during residency. Our study evaluated outcomes of standardized testing, rather than clinical performance and showed no correlation with temperament.…”

“…Although there are studies that have investigated the influences of these psychosocial factors on academic achievement in undergraduate and graduate medical learners, the same investigation has not been done in pediatric residents. [11][12][13][14] We sought to explore the relationship between pediatric residents' temperaments and learning styles and objective measures of pediatric residents' educational performance, specifically, standardized test performance.…”

Anesthesia in the modern world of apps and technology: Implications and impact on wellness

“…Physicians tend to be highly trained and intelligent individuals, and anesthesiologists have been suggested to have personality patterns distinct from even other physicians. Borges and Osmon assessed physicians using Cattell's 16 Personality Factor (16PF) test and demonstrated significantly different skepticism levels among anesthesiologists compared to family physicians and surgeons 92,93 . These are important considerations for future endeavors to develop physician and anesthesiologist‐specific PT‐based interventions.…”

Determining Resident Clinical Performance

“…Recent studies indicate that certain personality traits are related to better and worse clinical performance. 47,48 If this is true, stability in relative clinical performance can be explained partially by the general stability of personality traits. 49…”
