Abstract
This study examined the personality characteristics of physical education and recreation majors, and ascertained why some students choose one over the other. Forty-nine physical education and recreation majors were administered Holland's Self-directed Search. A 2 × 3 fixed-factorial design was employed, sex and major plus a control group were independent variables. Both 24 recreation and 25 physical education majors were alike in the personality profiles and were very similar to recreation and physical education professionals already in the field. Significant differences were found on secondary, less dominant characteristics which may contribute to selection of a specialization area.
