A Theory of Personality that Focuses on Computer Engineering Course Among Students in National University Dasmariñas

Deciding for a college course to take is quiet challenging for a student due to the many influencing factors or reasons in the environment that may affect his own preference. Holland code is an approach used in psychometrics to see human personality through traits that are arranged in six personality domains which are formed using factor analysis. These include the Realistic (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S), Enterprising (E), and Conventional (C) domains, collectively known as “RIASEC”. This study aims to test the reliability and construct validity of the RIASEC Holland instrument, which will later be applied to 42 second year college students of Computer Engineering in National University-Dasmariñas. The method used is confirmatory factor analysis. The results of this study indicate that the prediction of the reliability of the six personality domains using 42 second year college students of Computer Engineering in National University-Dasmariñas shows that code CRA (Conventional, Realistic, Artistic) are the top three interest’s areas in which 16 (38.10%) were female adolescents and 26 (61.90%) were male adolescents. This shows that the conformity of the empirical data with the code CRA (Conventional, Realistic, Artistic) are in the field of computer engineering, technology, arts, design, and good communication skills which is used as a theoretical concept is at a valid level. The Realistic and Conventional categories are the areas from their study of baccalaureate level colleges and universities, while Artistic work are most likely associated with college level employment or the highest level of cognitive abilityIJSRED-International Journal of Scientific Research and Engineering Developmen
