title: Personality characteristics of radiologic technology educators: a descriptive profile and its implications.
abstract: This study was designed to establish a descriptive profile of the personality characteristics of radiologic technology educators in order to draw inferences to the roles the characteristics play in radiologic technology education. The results of the study indicate that R.T. educators tend to be field-dependent, high in integrative complexity, low in dogmatism, and Concrete Sequential in learning style. These results suggest that the educators approach their roles in a structured, open-minded, sequential manner and exercise a high level of interpersonal skills.
