Being aware of one's own characteristics is one of the basic elements in the process of choosing the profession that is suitable for oneself. In this framework, it is aimed to examine the "Professional Personality Types" of secondary school students in terms of different variables. A survey model, which is a quantitative research model, was preferred in order to examine secondary school students according to the variables of gender, school type and grade level where they continue their education. The sample of the research consists of 132 secondary school students studying in Şırnak province. According to the research, artist, social and traditional types are in the first three places for female students, while social, artistic and traditional types are in the first three places for male students, and entrepreneurial personality type is in the last place of personality types for both genders; The first three occupational personality types for the 9th and 11th grade students are the same, and the first three professional personality types for the 10th and 12th grade students are the same; It has been observed that the rankings of personality types are the same according to the type of school they are enrolled in.
