Abstract
This paper shares initial results of a current study to understand what factors, tools, and methods help individual military and civilian medical personnel accelerate their medical problem-solving expertise. Based on the initial data analysis, there is evidence of statistically significant positive correlations between measurements of analogical/creative reasoning with the Conscientiousness and Honesty-Humility traits as measured by the HEXACO. These results will be employed in the US Army’s Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring system (GIFT) to develop a pedagogical template that adapts on relevant traits for instruction, interventions, and feedback to support accelerated learning.
