Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the personality types of premedical students and their self-assessed communication skills and attitudes toward a communication skills course. Methods: The participants were 59 second-year premedical students from Korea University College of Medicine. The Myers-Briggs type indicator(MBTI), which was validated in Korea, was used for evaluating personality types. Self-reported competency in communication and attitudes toward a communication skills course were measured by questionnaire. Results: Sensing(S) and thinking(T) personality types were predominant in this study group(76%). The relationship between the personality indicator ‘Extraversion(E)-Introversion(I)’ and the self- reported communication skills was statistically significant for four items of communication skills. Also, the personality indicator ‘Thinking(T)-Feeling(F)’ significantly correlated with one item: ask if the person has any further suggestions. Personality ‘I’ students showed more concern with regard to their communication skills than ‘E’ types. ‘Sensing(S)’-type students had a more positive attitude toward the communication skills course than “iNtuition(N)” types. Conclusion: Students’ self-assessed competence in communication and attitudes toward the communication skills course varied between personality types. These results suggest that the personality types of students should be considered in developing a communication skills course.
