EXAMINATION OF VOCATIONAL PERSONALITY TYPES OF SECONDARY STUDENTS (SIRNAK EXAMPLE)

Abstract

The decisions of people regarding the choice of profession are at an important point in the decisions
they will make about their lives. Some factors are the basis for making such an important decision
in a healthy way. Being aware of one's own characteristics is one of the basic elements in the
process of choosing the profession that is suitable for oneself. In this framework, it is aimed to
examine the "Professional Personality Types" of secondary school students in terms of different
variables. A survey model, which is a quantitative research model, was preferred in order to
examine secondary school students according to the variables of gender, school type and grade level
where they continue their education. The sample of the research consists of 132 secondary school
students studying in Şırnak province. According to the research, artist, social and traditional types
are in the first three places for female students, while social, artistic and traditional types are in the
first three places for male students, and entrepreneurial personality type is in the last place of
personality types for both genders; The first three occupational personality types for the 9th and
11th grade students are the same, and the first three professional personality types for the 10th and
12th grade students are the same; It has been observed that the rankings of personality types are the
same according to the type of school they are enrolled in. It is thought that the data on the
vocational personality types of secondary school students obtained within the scope of the research
will help the activities carried out in the choice of profession.
