Relations Between Personality Traits and Types of Professional Interests in Students of Faculty of Philosophy

Elvis Vardo, Tamara Efendić Spahić

Abstract


The research was developed with the aim of testing the concept that points to the connection between personality and professional interests of Holland’s model of occupation interests. The study was conducted on a sample of 248 first-year students of Faculty of Philosophy in Tuzla. For testing of personality traits we used adapted version Inventaar Big Five (The Big Five Inventory- John, Donahue and Kent, 1991) while the professional interests were measured with the help of the Questionnaire of professional interests and preferences (ProMente, 2004). The results indicate that the tested sample of first year students showed markedly connection between most anticipated personality traits and types of professional interests in a way that is determined in a number of previous studies on this topic.
