I don't think so. Their personality will be revealed in the interviews.

Lol bro every section you need to do as quickly as possible. The UMAT is designed so you cannot finish easily.
Nah, most people can finish section 2 (even though my english is pretty crap). I find section 3 quite easy since I'm used to all the various tricks that can happen in patterns. I find that section 1 is very time stressful

Imo in terms of difficulty, 2>1>3.

I reckon doctors have similar personality traits:
- calm
- collected
- quiet
- not easily tempered
- not moved greatly by their emotions
(these are my observations anyway)

THEY'RE ROBOTS!!11 THEY HAVE TO BE!

I actually find section 2 comfortable for me. I don't like section 1 cos it requires all the reading and stuff.

So in terms of difficulty for me. 1>2>3.

You're thinking more of GPs or dentists. Surgeons don't necessarily have to have all those traits because the patient's probably asleep :p.

But for section 2, you can never be sure that you have the right answer. Like, how should I know whether the gut is ashamed, upset, angry or embarrassed? I hate the fact that it's the most correct answer and you need to keep rereading to get a better answer.

you need to get into MED before you do surgery don't you?
And to get into med, I reckon you'd need the above traits

I guess so. I wouldn't agree with quiet. You need to be talkative and interactive to 'extract' info from patients in the best meaningful way.
I think they're quiet :p

Well, the people that I know got into med recently anyway :haha:

So the UMAT is just based on logic and interpreting epidemiological data etc ?

what type of stuff do they put in the umat anyway?

Do they put this sorta stuff in it?
so you're on a bus with 10 asian people, 9 people get off, 1 middle eastern person gets on. If the bus driver is middle eastern and there are 3 middle eastern people on the bus, but you can't be middle eastern because you're asian yourself. Who is the african?
A) the bus is african
B) is this a trick question?
C) can't tell
D) all of the above

Yep.

Please try this (no calculator allowed):
When the price of gold went up, a jeweller raised the prices on certain rings by 60%. On one ring, however, the price was accidently reduced by 60%. By what percent must the incorrect price be increased to reflect the proper new price?
a) 60%
b) 120%
c) 300%
d) 400%

Got it wrong in the spur of the moment =/
