| description | The research was stimulated by a phenomenon among the trade
students whose 'output' had not been commensurating with the high 'input'
on them. An important influencing factor was the selection system. The
research study was carried out in three vocational schools in Negeri Sembilan
to study the compatibility of the trade students' personality and their
respective trade training environment. Compatibility had been treated as
the indicator for the effectiveness of the selection system. A total of 248
Form 5 students from seven trade courses were involved in this study.
The data were collected using a questionnaire with the Vocational
Preference Inventory (VPI) as its main component. The VPI provided the
personality scores of the subjects. Whereas The Occupational Classification
provided the environmental code for the occupation most representative
of the trade. Statistical tools employed in analyzing the data were the t-test,
Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance and Chi-square. The findings of the
research study were: (1) realistic personality type was well differentiated
with the other personality types except the enterprising p ersonality type;
(2) enterprising personality type was the most dominant personality type
among the students followed by realistic personality type; (3) the students
were incompatible with their trade where their overall mean Compatibility
Index was 3.80; (4) there was no significant difference in compatibility
between the SRP passers and the SRP failures. |
