Resumo

Objectives: Given the specificity of Algarve University, as the only medical school in the
country with exclusively postgraduate program, it is relevant to make the assessment of
personality traits that characterise its medical students, and compare it with two other
national medical schools.

Methods: NEO-FII was the selected instrument to assess personality dimensions. NEO-
FII was applied only once, to students who entered in medicine of the studied medical

schools, during the academic years 2004/2005 to 2018/2019. Descriptive statistics were
calculated and chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney and t-student tests were
applied for statistical significance between groups of data, factor analysis to reduce
dimensionality of the dimensions of the NEO-FFI and k-means clusters procedure.
Results and discussion: Gender instils differences in the dimensions 'neuroticism',
'agreeableness' and 'conscientiousness' (p <0.001), being superior in females. Age,
except in ‘conscientiousness’ (p=0.224), influences the majority of personality
dimensions (p<0.01) and students on postgraduate program have different dimensions
than the undergraduate program (p<0.05). The five dimensions of Minho University and
Beira Interior University students were highly correlated and in Algarve University the
dimensions were decomposed into two components: one composed of ‘neuroticism’ and
the other of ‘extraversion’, ‘agreeableness’ and ‘conscientiousness’. From the cluster’s
procedure, five student profiles were identified, with only one profile being common
among schools.
Conclusions: Students presented different personality profiles between medical
schools. Personality profile of MIM-UAlg population stands out for presenting the lowest
values of 'neuroticism' and the highest values of 'extraversion', 'openness to experience'
and 'agreeableness '.
