Abstract

This study discusses personality patterns of the students from computer science and information technology programs, personality congruence level in determining the selection of computer science and information technology’s program, factors of program selections in computer science and information technology and correlations between those factors and personality congruence level. The participants were 154 of first year students from 2012/2013 batch from Faculty of Information Science and Technology (FTSM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The instrument used for this research is a set of online questionnaire (Self-Directed Search (SDS) – Form Easily, a translated version from Amla, (1984) and factor of program selections (Norlia Melawi, 2000). Iachan Congruence Index has been used to measure personality congruence degree. The results demonstrate that student personality pattern, SKI produces low congruence degree, meaning that the factors of program selection are weak, thus not reflecting the present program student had assigned with (what they get). However, program selections are done based on their own preferences and interests, also influenced by other factors such as environment, rewards and family. Despite that, all the factors are not related with their congruence personality degree.
