Abstract: This paper presents results of comparing technical university students with students studying
tourism from the perspective of their personal diagnostics. We used the Big Five personality traits and
Grit-S scale as these are fast and reliable tools that can reveal, among others, whether job applicants
have the personality profile required for the job. In the case of tourism, the applicants should be extraverted,
agreeable and with a low level of neuroticism. The study showed that the personality of tourism
students is on average within the population norm, but they differ significantly from technical students
in certain personality factors. Tourism students manifest significantly higher conscientiousness and
agreeableness than technical students. It can be presumed that students with greatest perseverance and
conscientiousness are those studying tourism, then students studying management at technical schools,
whereas rather technically and science-oriented VSCHT students had the lowest score.
Keywords: Big Five, Grit-S, employee selection, comparison
