Hunter 1 , Catherine Patocka 1  \n1. Department of Emergency Medicine, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, CAN Corresponding author: Miles M. Hunter, mmhunter@ucalgary.ca  \nAbstract  \nIntroduction  \nEmergency medicine physicians work in high-stress environments that strain interpersonal skills, communication, and decision-making. Personality profile assessment tools have been used in educating the corporate world to enhance self-awareness, improve communication, and decrease conflict. Despite this, personality profile assessment tools have not been applied extensively within the emergency department context. As such, we explored whether Insights Discovery (Insights, Dundee, Scotland), a registered personality assessment tool, could contribute valuable understanding into the personality landscape of emergency medicine physicians and help tailor future educational interventions.  \nMethods  \nA cross-sectional survey was conducted via online administration of the Insights Discovery questionnaire to 30 attending emergency physicians of urban tertiary-care and community emergency departments of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  \nResults  \nA disproportionately low number of fiery red personality types, typically described as competitive and strong-willed, existed among the study groups. No other significant differences were found between the proportions of other personality types or between physician characteristics such as gender or years of experience.  \nConclusion  \nThis study sheds early light on the personality characteristics of physicians within the emergency department environment, which may help individuals and departments tailor interventions to improve interpersonal communication and interactions.  \nCategories: Emergency Medicine  \nKeywords: leadership, conflict management, personality type, insights discovery, interpersonal and communication skills  \nIntroduction  \nMedical specialty stereotypes are often created [1], but their validity is not well-established [2] . Personality assessment tools are a more objective way to ascertain an individual 's method of expressing and relating to their environment and peers [3] . These tools have been used to improve self-assessment, communication, and team dynamics in the corporate world, but they are rarely employed in medicine [4,5] . Furthermore, emergency medicine physicians work in high-stress environments that strain interpersonal skills, communication, and decision-making. This gap in physician self-assessment is at odds with the desire among physicians and emergency departments to improve key competencies, including collaboration, leadership, and communication skills [6] . A greater understanding of physician personality traits may lead to interventions that help foster and harness these crucial competencies within our fast-paced and unique environment.  \nExisting literature in this area is limited. Only a small Australian cohort of senior leadership emergency medicine staff [4] and a group of German emergency medicine conference attendees have been studied [5] . Personality profiles in these studies were assessed using the Myers-Briggs Test Indicator and Hamburg Personality Inventory, respectively. These instruments stratify people into up to 16 distinct personality profiles which can make interpretation cumbersome and non-intuitive.  \nIn contrast, Insights Discovery (Insights, Dundee, Scotland) is a registered and validated tool that arranges four personality profiles unde","cbCaiv5csG4kGR2T","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv5csG4kGR2T","pdf",396393,"English","# Introduction\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusion\n# Materials And Methods\n## Study design, setting, and population\n## Intervention","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s main purpose?\",\"answer\":\"To explore whether Insights Discovery could help characterize the personality landscape of emergency medicine physicians and support tailoring of future educational interventions.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the survey conducted and who participated?\",\"answer\":\"A cross-sectional online survey administered the Insights Discovery questionnaire to 30 attending emergency physicians across urban tertiary-care and community emergency departments in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key results about personality types?\",\"answer\":\"The study found a disproportionately low number of fiery red personality types, with no other significant differences among the proportions of other personality types or physician characteristics such as gender or years of experience.\"}]","What Are the Personality Types Among Emergency Medicine Physicians? | PDF",1789667031,13]
