The literature findings on the predictive power of the Big Five personality model on career choice students make is scant. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between personality type and career selection. A 56-item questionnaire was used to measure personality traits and demographics, including three questions regarding preferences to work in the public sector, in the private sector and as a self-employed person. Approximately half the population of the Business Department students answered the questionnaire (N = 417), using Google docs in class. The results indicated that of the five traits only Neurotism and Agreeableness related to career choice. Although further studies need to be conducted to examine the aforesaid variable relationships, based on the findings reported here, career advisors and school counselors could be of greater benefit to students if they focused more on those possessing the two traits to an above average extent.
