Abstract

Anatomical sciences require an interactive learning environment that requires team building. Group dynamics can determine the success of a team depending on key elements, such as various personalities (Loanna et al, 2016). Considering COVID-19, many work spaces are now virtual, creating an atmosphere with limited interactions. In this study, the personality profile test was completed by 52 first-year occupational therapy students and 45 first-year physical therapy students (Bowles, Silvano, and Silvano, 2005). This test indicated the most common personality type was emotional helpers. A strengths assessment (Rath, 2007) was also completed by these students, revealing the most common strength was empathy.
