| Abstract: | The importance of determining the personality profile of the civil engineering profession is stressed. Personality profiles for civil engineering students have been determined and compared with those of other subject areas. The personality factors were also compared with the examination performance in order to determine the extent to which penonality factors are significant in the civil engineering degree course. It was not possible to separate the top students from the bottom students in the examination on the basis of personality; a similar set of personality factors were important for both groups. |
