•••••At Tech, they actually give us a copy of Dr. Pelley's book to work through before orientation. I understand that he also goes around the country presenting his studies on personality typing as related to learning styles.
Its supposed to help you find out what mental processes are predominant in your learning style, then learning to focus on the underdeveloped ones. He included a couple of pages for what types of specialties *may* be right for your personality type, but the focus is in helping you adapt yourself to developing the right skills for being successful at handling the deluge of information in med school.
And even without the personality test, much of the study skills are invaluable in developing integrative thinking (as opposed to rote memorization of facts...which will only get you so far).
