The objective of the present study was to explore whether individuals' career anchors are
dependent on their personality types. The Career Orientation Inventory (COI) and the
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) were administered to a sample of honours students
in the subject field of Industrial and Organisational Psychology in order to measure the
relationship between the two constructs. For statistical purposes only the female
participants were included in the final sample analysis (N=117) because of the underrepresentation
of males. Statistically significant differences were established with regard
to the security/stability career anchor and the ESFJ, ENFP, ESFP and INFP personality
types. It is recommended that future studies include larger samples that are more
representative of all possible sixteen (16) personality types and a broader range of
occupations. The findings contribute new knowledge regarding the career anchors and
personality preferences of females pursuing further studies in the field of IO-Psychology. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)
