By choosing a major that fits their personality, college students may improve their career certainty, graduation rates, and even school involvement and satisfaction, according to research. With this new book, students discover their personality type and the 10 best majors that relate to it.

A self-assessment helps readers determine their personality type: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Next, more than 90 “best majors” lists reveal the 10 best majors overall for each personality type plus many must-know facts and figures not found elsewhere. Other “best majors” lists for each personality type include the best majors ranked by potential pay and growth of their related occupations; best majors at the bachelor’s and higher degree levels; and best majors for men, for women, for part-time jobs, or for self-employment.

 

Extensive descriptions of each major include information on typical sequences of high school and college courses, specializations in the major, related Classification of Instructional Programs, full descriptions of related jobs with two- or three-level personality code, work tasks, earnings, growth, openings, verbal and math skill ratings, and other helpful details.
