“…Should we be attempting to select happier doctors by routinely assessing personality profiles and learning styles at entry to medical school? Evidence shows that validated instruments such as Myers-Briggs profiles have predictive value for choice of specialty4 and learning styles inventories for success in a medical career 5. But before we replace all admissions tutors by psychometricians, we should perhaps consider how far we can extrapolate from present evidence.…”

Choosing a specialty within the occupation of medicine is problematic given the number of available specialty choices. A need exists for the development and modification of inventories to be used to help students with selecting a medical specialty. Furthermore, ratings of job satisfaction, regardless of specialty, are mixed with some physicians regretting choosing medicine as a career. Despite its use in medical specialty counseling, research is lacking regarding the Medical Specialty Preference Inventory (MSPI). We examined the predictive validity of the MSPI and compared job satisfaction of physicians (N=51) whose specialty was correctly (i.e., congruent) versus incorrectly (i.e., incongruent) predicted by the MSPI. The MSPI correctly predicted the specialty for 33%. Congruent physicians had higher job satisfaction than incongruent physicians. Results of this study may help individuals who provide medical specialty counseling or who are involved in designing tools and implementing programs to assist students with medical specialty decision making.
