Personality and job satisfaction of medical technologists.
The personality characteristics and job satisfaction patterns of a volunteer group of practicing medical technologists were measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Job Description Index. Data analysis was based on three groups of female subjects: clinical practitioners, educators, and administrators. There was little primary impact of personality upon job satisfaction, although definite patterns of personality are identifiable in the three groups. Implications for counseling students and placing practitioners in satisfying jobs were suggested, and additional studies to be conducted were identified.
