There are several factors that determine what specialty is the best fit for you. While far from scientific, one factor at play is your personality type. These are the best specialties to choose according to Myers-Briggs.
Note that all personality tests have their limitations. This video is meant as a conversation starter and exercise for those of you who are struggling to choose a medical specialty. Any personality type can find success in any specialty, but there are very real factors that will make it more or less difficult for you. For example, someone who prefers calm and steady work environments may not enjoy the fast pace of emergency medicine, whereas someone who craves new and exciting experiences may not be fulfilled by radiology.
View Myers-Briggs, and any personality assessment, as a non-scientific lens to evaluate and better understand your own personal preferences and the preferences of those around you.
It’s our hope that this video will spark a thoughtful and engaging conversation. Please share your experiences and ideas in the comments. What’s your Myers-Briggs, and does it align with the specialty you’re most interested in or have already pursued?
