MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
Hello! My name is Dr Aalap Asurlekar, a Core Psychiatry Trainee in the UK and the creator and host of MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials.
Having experienced firsthand the challenge of preparing for the MRCPsych exams alongside full-time clinical work, I created this podcast to make high-quality, structured revision more accessible.
Each episode focuses on key syllabus topics, explained in clear and structured language to help you understand and retain the most important concepts.
Whether you are a psychiatry trainee preparing for Paper A, B, or CASC, or a medical student looking to strengthen your psychiatry knowledge, this podcast is designed to fit around your schedule. Episodes include exam-style questions and clinical scenarios to support active recall, so you can revise during commutes, walks, or between shifts.

MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
15. Personality Explained: The Big Five, Traits and Types
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Conscientious or spontaneous? The way we answer these questions reveals a lot about how psychologists have tried to map the human personality for over a century.
In this episode, we explore trait and type approaches to personality, introducing key figures including Carl Jung, Gordon Allport, Raymond Cattell and Hans Eysenck. We trace how modern personality research developed and what the Big Five model tells us about individual differences.
Ideal for MRCPsych Part A revision, psychology students and anyone curious about the science of personality. Aligned with the Royal College of Psychiatrists MRCPsych Part A syllabus, paragraph 1.1.6.
