Personality characteristics of western radiographers.
The 16PF personality test was used to survey 123 radiographers living in the western continental United States. The objective of the survey was to determine if a group personality profile different from the general U.S. population existed for radiographers. The results of the survey revealed that radiographers do have a personality profile different from the general U.S. population. Since such a profile exists, managers can use the information to improve a radiographer's environment, working conditions and personal growth.
