“…However, for the extraverts whose opinions differ from their actual traits might have misunderstood the main traits for extraversion were focused merely on being talkative. By being energetic, active, friendly and does not mind always being surrounded by people were also traits of an extravert [74]. Previous study [75] also supported this result by revealing that extraverts were not much aware of their extraversion compared to introverts.…”

“…The reason ambiversion were mostly selected by the students was because they explained themselves being reserved and quiet, but sometimes enjoy talking to others. These are certainly parts of traits for ambiversion [74], so they were able to estimate their personalities fairly accurate as they understand the description. However, for the extraverts whose opinions differ from their actual traits might have misunderstood the main traits for extraversion were focused merely on being talkative.…”

Abstract-Intelligence is not solely justified from mental capacities, but could be from personality dispositions, characteristics or nature. This study aims to compare the Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI) of intelligence between extravert and ambivert. Eighty medical undergraduate students from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) were participated in this study. The Universiti Sains Malaysia Personality Inventory (USMaP-i) was distributed to the respondents prior to the administration of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Forth Edition (WAIS-IV) to measure PRI. No significant difference of PRI between ambivert and extravert was observed.However, significant correlation between estimation and psychometric score of PRI was observed, as well as the significant correlation between self-estimated and psychometric personality. Self-estimated and psychometric measure of personality should be taken into account as profile to form baseline PRI performance. The individual differences and external factors such as age variation and parent's education may confound the study's finding; thus, need to be considered in future research.

“…The Big-Five Factor System has become a scientifically valuable paradigm in personality trait studies [ 12 ]. Extroversion refers to a person with high energy, sociable, with direct leadership roles, enthusiastic, assertive and with high measure of emotional expressiveness [ 13 – 15 ]. Conscientiousness is connected to a high degree of care, with goal-directed behavior, discipline, organization and precision [ 13 – 15 ].…”

Personality traits and quality of life among Lebanese medical students: any mediating effect of emotional intelligence? A path analysis approach

Background Medicine is an incredibly demanding career that appears to leave many medical students at risk of fatigue, anxiety, depression and burnout. Since adaptation and lifestyle changes are important, quality of life (QOL) of students during medical school could be impaired. Personality traits and emotional intelligence (EI) facets may be both linked to medical student’s QOL. To our knowledge, no studies have been done on the concurrent and prospective relationship between QOL-related personality traits and EI in Lebanese medical students. This study aimed to investigate the role of EI as a mediator between personality traits and QOL among a sample of Lebanese medical students. Methods This research is a descriptive cross-sectional survey study involving 293 Lebanese medical students recruited from all 7 Faculties of Medicine in Lebanon (June–December 2019). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed using SPSS AMOS v.24 to examine the structural relationship between each personality trait taken as independent variables, QOL as the dependent variable, and emotional intelligence as the mediator, among university students. The relative Chi-square (χ2/df), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) statistic, Tucker Lewis Index (TFI) and the comparative fit index (CFI) were used to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of the model. Results Higher conscientiousness was significantly associated with more EI (Beta = 0.38; p < 0.001) and lower QOL (Beta = − 0.14; p = 0.025). The indirect relationships between conscientiousness, EI and QOL showed that EI mediated the association between conscientiousness and QOL (Beta = 0.17; 95% CI − 0.73 to − 0.004; p = 0.037). The fit indices of this model were adequate for χ2/df, RMSEA and CFI but not TLI. Higher openness to experience was significantly associated with more EI (Beta = 0.48; p < 0.001) and lower QOL (Beta = − 0.38; p < 0.001). The indirect relationships between openness to experience, EI and QOL showed that EI mediated the association between openness to experience and QOL (Beta = 0.30; 95% CI − 1.11 to − 0.03; p = 0.04). The fit indices were adequate for χ2/df and CFI but not RMSEA and TLI. EI did not mediate the association between the other three personality traits (extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism) and QOL. Conclusion This current research has shed considerable light on the nexus of associations between EI, personality traits and well-being, nonetheless, led to the creation of more puzzling questions. On the whole, it seems that EI and its components can be used as an evaluation instrument in relates with Lebanese medical students’ personality profile as a means of future training to improve quality of life during medical education.
