Introducción: para ingresar a la educación superior se utilizan criterios de selección cada vez más exigentes con el ánimo de garantizar la excelencia. Las instituciones buscan un perfil determinado para cada programa académico empleando diversos tipos de pruebas psicotécnicas. Objetivo: determinar si la prueba del perfil e inventario de la personalidad de Gordon (P-IPG) es un predictor del desempeño académico en estudiantes de enfermería. Materiales y métodos: estudio de cohorte histórica, la variable dependiente fue el promedio académico de inicio y mitad de la carrera, las variables independientes fueron los resultados de la prueba P-IPG y las características sociodemográficas. Los datos se analizaron en Stata 10. La correlación se calculó con el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson para ajustar un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple. Resultados: se analizaron 202 estudiantes de enfermería, 26% (51) de colegios de fuera de Bogotá, 49,2% (99) se graduaron en colegios privados y el resto públicos, habilitaron 80,8% (84) y 42% (85) repitieron al menos una materia. Se calculó la correlación entre el promedio inicial y la responsabilidad (ρ=0,17), originalidad (ρ=0,16) y el vigor (ρ=0,16). Se ajustó un modelo de regresión múltiple para los promedios (inicial y mitad de la carrera), con un R 2 = 0,10. Conclusión: hay correlación leve entre los resultados de la prueba de personalidad P-IPG de los estudiantes con el desempeño académico al inicio y mitad de la carrera. Es deseable establecer un perfil que se pueda relacionar con un mejor desempeño académico y profesional. Abreviaturas: P-IPG, prueba del perfil e inventario de personalidad de Gordon.
By 2012, the National Ministry of Education in Colombia recognized 286 Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) in the country that offered technical and technological programs. The quality of technicians, technologists, and other professionals is directly related to their performance during secondary and tertiary education. The aim of this paper is to describe the personality profile and academic performance of a group of Cytology and Histology students at a Health Sciences institution of higher education. We performed a descriptive study that included first to third semester students in the Department of Cytology and Histology. We measured socio-demographic variables related to academic achievement and the Gordon Personal Profile-Inventory (GPP-I) test results. This study was approved by the Ethics for Research on Humans Committee at the Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud. We analyzed 53 Cytology and Histology students. The average age was 18 years old (IQR 18-21), and the gender distribution was 88.4% female (46/53). The initial grade mean was 3.5 (IQR: 3.3-3.8), with 5 being the maximum in the Colombian grading system, and the mid-career grade was 3.7 (IQR: 3.6-4). We explored the relationship between the place of residence before starting the program, the result of the National Test for Graduates in Colombia (ICFES-SABERPro, comparable to the American SAT), and the academic performance of students. We observed a significant correlation among these variables. Despite there being a number of university departments in the field in Colombia, Cytology/Histology is a poorly known profession, and the skills and abilities together with its range of tasks in the labor market are unknown. Concerning academic performance and its correlation with the GPP-I domains, we observed that there was a direct relationship between starting grade point average and original thinking.
