THE FIT BETWEEN MAJOR OF STUDY AND PERSONALITY TYPE: AN APPLICATION OF HOLLAND’S CODES IN CYPRUS Despo Ktoridou, Epaminondas
Epaminonda, In this paper
we measure the compatibility between undergraduate students’
personality types and their study major in order to estimate the
extent to which students study a major that fits their personality.
An online questionnaire of Holland’s typology of personality was
used to obtain scores on students’ personality types, and these were
then compared with their type of major. It was found that the
average Personality-Major-Distance (PMd) was 0.94 (where 0 denoted a
perfect fit between personality type and type of major and 3 a
maximum mismatch). |
