Abstract:

Preliminary
This study aims to comprehensively explore the interaction of personality/preferences and education decisions. Based on a tailored sample of more than 8,000 university students, we analyze students’ sorting in majors based on their personality/preferences and we investigate if and how the education environment affects personality/preferences. Additionally, we examine the matching of students into majors based on their personality/preferences profiles.
