LEFO s to personlighetsinventorier BCI Basic Character Inventory (1966) Modifisert av den norske psykologen Svenn Torgersen Fire dimensjoner: Neuroticism - nevrotisisme Extraversion - utadvendt Conscientiousness - samvittighetsfull Reality weakness realitetssvak EPQ - Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (1947) Kortversjon utviklet bl.a. av den norske psykologen Kristian Tambs Fire dimensjoner Ekstrovert - introvert Sårbarhet/nevrotisisme Psykotisisme (reality weakness) Løgn
To andre norske publikasjoner basert på legedata der BCI er benyttet: Røvik JO, Tyssen R, Gude T, Moum T, Ekeberg Ø, Vaglum P. Exploring the interplay between personality dimensions: A comparison of the typological and the dimensional approach in stress research. Personality and Individual Differences 2007;42:1255 66. Conclusion: Neuroticism was most consistently associated with stress. Conscientiousness had a moderating role on stress, as those with high conscientiousness reported higher stress than those with low conscientiousness, for given constellations of levels of neuroticism and extraversion.

Medical Education 2007; 41:781-7. Conclusions: This is the first study to show that a specific combination of personality traits can predict medical school stress; in particular, the combination of high neuroticism and high conscientiousness is considered high risk.

Abstract: We did a questionnaire survey in the year 2000 on a representative sample of approx. 1300 Norwegian doctors. The response variable was based on the question: Have you experienced serious patient injury in connection with medical treatment you have given? Middle aged male surgeons were most likely to give an affirmative answer to this question. There was a significant personality effect for doctors that scored high on extrovert and vulnerable (Eysenck). For doctors who worked in an atmosphere with openness around errors and misbehaviour, the impact of feeling responsible for an adverse event was milder.

The impact of personality on reporting serious patient injury can be illustrated by the following example: Estimated probability of reporting to have experienced an incident with serious patient injury for a male surgeon, anaesthesiologist or gynaecologist age 50 to 54 who scores 4 on extrovert and 0 on neuroticism is.67. However, if he, like one of the physicians in our sample, scores 8 on extroversion-introversion and 6 on neuroticism, this probability goes up to.89.
