During our efforts to develop a training program for new pharmacists, we have come to the opinion that it is essential to understand the personality characteristics of each individual pharmacist. The present study was undertaken to examine the effects of various personality characteristics of new pharmacists regarding their work by psychological tests with existing education programs. The ultimate goal of obtaining basic data would be useful for devising effective training plans for new pharmacists. The subjects consisted of 16 new pharmacists who participated in the training program for new pharmacists conducted at the Q Pharmacy in April through June of 2001. A psychology test, the Tokyo University Egogram (TEG), was administered at the beginning and at the end of training, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was administered at the beginning and at the end of training and once a month for two months.An analysis of changes in egograms taken both before and after the training suggested that the effects of the training were manifested in their personality even after a short period of training.Some personality characteristics that seem desirable for pharmacists were derived from the data obtained for pharmacists with highly appraised performances. These include moderately high Critical Parent (CP) and Free Child (FC), high Nurturing Parent (NP) and Adult (A), and moderately low Adapted Child (AC). It is possible that more effective training can thus be provided if not only the trainee but also the trainer understands one's own personality haracteristics.
