Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings: The findings showed that there is a significant correlation between personality type and burnout. There is a significant and direct relationship between introverted personality type and burnout in the overall score and in men (P <0.01). There is no significant difference between men and women in the variables of burnout, personality type (introversion and extroversion) and in fact, gender has not affected these variables (P <0.05).
