AB  - Clinical training of the UPCD Clinician is not limited to theory and technique, it also involves social interaction between the dentist and the patient. Among the factors in the dentist-patient relationship is personality, which can be one of the keys to a good clinical performance. The aim of the study is to determine if clinical performance of the UP College of Dentistry Clinicians SY 1999-2000 varies according to personality type and temperament All the UPCD Senior Clinicians were included in the study (N=56). To determine personality type and temperament, the UPCD Clinicians were individually given a Personality Test? based on the Myers-Briggs and Keirseian models of personality theory. To determine clinical performance, grades from the different sections were gathered from the student records. A chi-square test at significance level = .05 was used to analyze the relationship of personality type and temperament with clinical performance. Results showed that it is only in Oral Surgery (OS) where a statistically significant relationship exists between personality type and clinical performance as well as between temperament and clinical performance of UPCD Senior Clinicians SY 1999-2000. Subjects with an INTJ (Introversion-Intuition-Thinking-Judging) personality and an NT (Intuition-Thinking) temperament performed best in Oral Surgery. No statistically significant relationships were found when personality type and temperament were compared with clinical performance in Periodontics. Endodontics, Operative Dentistry and Prosthodontic sections.
