註釋This study is about the role of personality in professional (business) higher education. According to literature of personality vs. education and personality vs. career, some people have better academic performance, while others' performance is better at work. Present study observes this dichotomy at the University of Debrecen, Faculty of Business Administration among the students from BA in Business Administration and Management and BA in International Business Economics majors comparing the efficiency of the Myers-Briggs personality typology with averages of standardized admission scores and standardized academic grade averages. The prior shows the general aptness to learn, while the latter indicates the career match. We analyzed our data with one sample t-test (our test value was 0 which is the average of the total sample). We found significant difference from the average for the personalities ESFJ and ENTJ (the prior had better, and the latter worse; both of them matching the profession) in case of admission sores, and for ENFP (worse), ESFJ (better) and ESTJ (better) personality types in case of academic performance (ENFP doesn't match while ESFJ and ESTJ match the profession). Our results suggest (even the non-significant results as well) that the match of personality and profession is less able to explain the difference of the admission scores from the average than the difference of the academic performance in case of certain personality types. Consequently, the match of personality and profession increases the academic performance without reference to the candidates' general suitability to education.
