MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
Hello! My name is Dr Aalap Asurlekar, and I am a psychiatry trainee in the UK. I created MRCPsych on the Go to make revision for the MRCPsych exams easier to fit around busy clinical work.
This podcast is designed for psychiatry trainees preparing for Paper A, B, CASC but also, medical students. Each episode focuses on key syllabus topics and explains them in clear, structured language to help you understand and retain the most important concepts.
Topics range from psychopathology, psychopharmacology, neuroscience, sociology, behavioral science, psychological therapies to clinical assessment. Episodes include exam style questions and clinical scenarios to support active recall and exam preparation.
The aim is to provide focused, high yield psychiatry revision you can listen to 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.
