Objectives: The purpose of this research is to study the psychological characteristics of Korean medical students with a focus on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). Methods: The survey was conducted on 101 Korean medical students to investigate their psychological characteristics with a focus on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2. Results: Among the 16 MBTI personality types, ISTJ was the most common type with the prevalence of 24.8%. According to gender-based classification, there were more men in the J-type category and more women in the P-type category. In the MMPI-2 scales, males showed high scores in Pd, AGGR, DISC, MAC-R, and GM, and females showed high scores in Mf and GF. Conclusions: The personality test for male and female Korean medical students revealed few differences on some scales of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to confirm whether brain disease or brain trauma actually affect psychopathology in young male group in Korea. Methods : The authors manually reviewed the result of Korean military multiphasic personal inventory (KMPI) in the examination of conscription in Korea from January 2008 to May 2010. There were total 237 young males in this review. Normal volunteers group (n=150) was composed of those who do not have history of brain disease or brain trauma. Brain disease group (n=33) was consisted of those with history of brain disease. Brain trauma group (n=54) was consisted of those with history of brain trauma. The results of KMPI in each group were compared. Results : Abnormal results of KMPI were found in both brain disease and trauma groups. In the brain disease group, higher tendencies of faking bad response, anxiety, depression, somatization, personality disorder, schizophrenic and paranoid psychopathy was observed and compared to the normal volunteers group. In the brain trauma group, higher tendencies of faking-good, depression, somatization and personality disorder was observed and compared to the normal volunteers group. Conclusion : Young male with history of brain disease or brain trauma may have higher tendencies to have abnormal results of multiphasic personal inventory test compared to young male without history of brain disease or brain trauma, suggesting that damaged brain may cause psychopathology in young male group in Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the association of personality characteristics with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Methods: Four hundred and fifty one college students in Gyeonggi-do completed the revised version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) and a questionnaire and collected data were analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 25.0 software (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Mean values of the number of positive answers of TMD symptoms were significantly higher in higher scorers on hypochondriasis (Hs), depression (D), paranoia (Pa) (Hs>60, D>64, Pa>59) (p<0.01). Higher scorers on Hs, hysteria (Hy), schizophrenia (Sc), Pa, psychasthenia (Pt) (Hy>64, Sc>64, Pt>64) exhibited significantly higher mean values of the number of positive answers of contributing factors for TMD (p<0.01, p<0.001). Low scorers on social introversion ($Si{\leq}44$) exhibited significantly lower mean value of the number of positive answers of contributing factors for TMD than high or moderate scorers on Si (Si>64, 45-64) (p<0.01, p<0.05). The percentage of subjects who responded that they had at least one TMD symptom was significantly higher in higher scorers on Hs, Pt, D (p<0.05, p<0.01). The significantly higher percentage of higher scorers on D, Pa reported at least one contributing factor for TMD (p<0.05). The percentage of subjects who responded that they had at least one TMD symptom or one contributing factor for TMD was significantly different among three groups divided by T-score on Si (p<0.01, p<0.05). T-scores of Hs, D, Hy, Pt and Sc showed significant correlation with the numbers of TMD symptoms and contributing factors for TMD, respectively (p<0.001). A correlation was found between T-score of Pd and the number of TMD symptoms (p<0.001). T-score of Si correlated to the number of contributing factors for TMD (p<0.001). Conclusions: Most clinical scales of MMPI-2 were found to be related to TMD. Psychological assessment including MMPI-2 may play a role in predicting treatment outcome and planning treatment of TMD.

Objective : This study aims to identify personality characteristics in female homicide offenders by using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) test. Methods : This study retrospectively analyzed the mental appraisals and MMPI-2 scores of 54 women charged with homicide and 67 women charged with non-violent crimes, who were referred to National Forensic Hospital in Gongju city for psychiatric evaluation between January 2012 and March 2016. Results : Women charged with homicide scored significantly higher on Hs (p=0.018), D (p<0.001), Hy (p=0.002) and Pt (p=0.004) than the women charged with non-violent crimes. The women charged with homicide may have developed the following characteristics: hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria and psychasthenia. In multiple regression analyses, a final regression model including age of crime onset and depression was significant, explaining 16.5% of the variance in homicides committed by females. Conclusion : These findings suggest that personality characteristics in the female homicide offenders might be different compared to the non-violent crime offenders.

Results & Conclusions : First, The average scores of MMPI scales showed that oriental medical students in graduating class lay within the range of normal. There was no difference among attendant years, and averages of each year made little difference to whole student. The students belonged to 'defensive group' that were doing adaptive defense relatively Second, in comparison with gender, female students got more social adaptability and less stress than male students.

연구목적 본 연구는 후기청소년기에서 중증근무력증이 정신건강에 영향을 미치는 정도를 다면적 인성검사인 군인성 검사 결과를 통해 정량적으로 확인하고자 하였다. 방 법 우리는 2007년 2월부터 2010년 1월까지 병무청으로 군 신체검사를 받으러 방문한 19세 남성 중 다른 내외과 및 정신건강의학과 질환이 없는 건강한 대상자들 104명과 중증근무력증으로 확진 된 대상자들 26명의 군인성 검사 결과를 수집하고 분석하였다. 군인성검사는 미네소타 다면적 인성 검사와 비슷한 점수 체계를 가지고 있으며 한국의 징병 검사를 위해 개발되었다. 결 과 군인성검사 결과 중 타당도 척도인 긍정왜곡, 부정왜곡 및 희귀도 하위척도는 중증근무력증 환자 및 정상 대상자 간에 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다(t=-0.51, p=0.607 ; t=0.11, p=0.913 ; t=1.41, p=0.158). 신경증 척도에서는 신체화 하위척도 점수가 중증근무력증 환자에서 정상 대상자들에 비해 유의하게 높았다(t=2.29, p=0.023). 정신증 척도에서는 정신분열 하위척도 점수가 중증근무력증 환자에서 정상 대상자들에 비해 더 낮았다(t=-2.38, p=0.018). 결 론 MPI 결과로 미루어 볼 때 후기 청소년기 중증근무력증 환자는 본인의 신체증상에 다소 예민한 상태이며 질병을 관리하는 과정에서 다른 정상 대상자에 비하여 규칙을 더 잘 지키려고 하고 더욱 관습적으로 행동하려는 경향이 있을 것으로 유추해 볼 수 있다.

본 논문의 연구내용은 동양의 사상중의 하나인 음양오행의 오행속성을 물리적으로 해석하여 사람의 오장육부의 크기에 따른 체질 분류에 기초하여 수행하였다. 이러한 체질분류에 의하여 생리적 증상, 걸리기 쉬운 질병, 그리고 성격상의 특징과 장단점을 파악 할 수 있었다. 이러한 일련의 연구에 대한 본 실험실의 지속적인 연구 작업의 하나로 MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory)로 일컬어지는 미네소타 다면적 인성검사 설문문항에 대한 음양오행적 분석을 시도하였다. 대표적인 분류의 예를 들면 간이 큰 사람이 건강이 좋지 않을 때 나타날 수 있는 대표적인 심리적 증상으로는 욕설을 잘하며, 심장이 약하여지면 상사병에 걸릴 가능성이 커지며, 폐와 대장이 나빠진 사람은 울기를 잘하며, 그리고 위장이 나빠진 사람은 공상을 잘 하고, 신장방광이 나빠지면 겁이 많아지고 생명력을 나타나는 심포삼초의 기능이 떨어지면 불안하고 초조하여지는 심리적 성격과 연결되는 것이다. 이러한 방법으로 분석하였을 때 건강, 성격, 습관 등에 관련된 MMPI 566문항 중 많은 부분에 대하여 흥미롭고, 성공적인 분석을 내릴 수 있었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the psychological and mental tendencies manifested in the Sasang Constitution are reflected in an objective personality test, MMPI-2. Methods: The survey was conducted on 101 Korean medical students to investigate the relationship between the Sasang Constitution and MMPI-2. Results: Soeumin showed higher scores in the Hs, Pt, RC1 and RC3 than Taeumin and showed higher scores in the D, Si, RC2, R, MAC-R and INTR than Soyangin. Soeumin showed higher scores in the ANX, OBS, and HEA and showed lower scores in the Es and GM than other Constitutions. Soyangin showed the higher scores in the AGGR than Soeumin and showed the higher scores in the RC9 than other Constitutions. Soyangin showed the lower scores in the SOD and Taeumin showed the lower scores in the ASP than other Constitution (p<.05). Conclusions: MMPI-2 contains items that distinguish the characteristics of Soeumin, Soyangin, and Taeumin and it is therefore useful to employ it to obtain basic data for analyzing oriental psychopathology.
