Myers-Briggs Personality Type & CRNA's

Hello,

This board is very informative and helpful--thanks to everyone for making it so interesting.

I'm curious as to Myers-Briggs Personality Types and CRNA's. The MB indicator identifies individuals as either introverted or extroverted and Sensing or Intuitive types. Myers-Briggs has 16 personality types such as ISTJ's, which stands for Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging and ENFP, which stands for Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceptive. The other introverted types are ISFJ, ISTP, ISFP, INFJ, INTJ, INFP, INTP. The remaining extroverted types are: ESTP, ESFP, ESTJ, ESFJ, ENTP, ENFJ, and ENTJ.

My question is what is your MB personality type (if you know it--or want to take a guess) and do you thiink there are certain personality types that are more suited towards the work of being a successful CRNA?

Thanks :) Stephanie

I LOVE Myers-Briggs! Hence my screen name...I am an INFJ and I don't know if it's personality or what, but I have absolutely no desire to be a CRNA. Hmm...wonder if that means anything??

Very cool topic though!

INTJ myself! The mastermind baby! :chuckle

I can see how it takes several types to make it fun though!

Personally, I think we have a lot of ESP. It seems like I spend a lot of time trying to read the minds of others working in the OR. Just kidding of course, but I believe I fit the extroverted intuitive personality type. But I have known many CRNAs who are introverted and like to live in their little corner of the OR and just be left alone.

I guess my type is kinda rare too, only 2% of the population. Anyway, I start CRNA school at MMC in August.

Where do you take this test?

Here is a free online version of the test...(shortened unofficial version), but it scored consistently with the result of my Meyers-Briggs testing.

I am an eNFJ...and hope to be a CRNA one day.
