Personality-major congruence among the hearing-impaired students in Malaysian polytechnics
Studies in the Person-Environment fit (P-E fit) framework suggested that the greater the match between students’ personality types and their academic major operationalized as personality-major congruence, the more likely they are to succeed. Surprisingly to date, little research has been done on the...
