Only high school score was associated with better achievement ( p = .00). In specialty selection, females were significantly overrepresented in pediatrics and clinical pathology, whereas males were significantly predominating surgical specialties except for obstetrics and gynecology ( p = .00). Students choosing patient-centered specialties had higher reward dependence (RD), persistence (PS) and cooperativeness (C); those choosing clinical pathology had highest harm avoidance (HA), whereas those choosing radiology had lowest HA and those choosing surgery had significantly higher self-directedness (SD3).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Personality impacts academic achievement and specialty choice with other factors as gender and previous scholastic performance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0020764013501485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,12]],"date-time":"2013-09-12T23:01:46Z","timestamp":1379026906000},"page":"499-507","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Impact of personality temperaments and characters on academic performance and specialty selection among a group of Egyptian medical graduates"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Mona M","family":"El Sheikh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Psychiatry, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nermin M","family":"Shaker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Psychiatry, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanan","family":"Hussein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Psychiatry, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hisham A","family":"Ramy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Psychiatry, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0020764013501485","first-page":"43","volume":"2","author":"Afolabi A.
