Sažetak

The primary aim of the research is the comparison of personality traits defined by the five factor model of male and female high school students enrolled in secondary medical schools and general education secondary schools. Since they have chosen a helping profession, the hypothesis is that female and male students of secondary medical schools will achieve higher results on the agreeableness scale with no statistically significant differences on other scales. The hypothesis is based on the results of similar research studies, which indicate that individuals prefer a type of occupation that corresponds to their personality traits. The research was carried out on a sample of 203 male and female students, 102 from secondary medical schools and 101 from general education secondary schools. Personality traits were assessed with the Croatian version of the BFQ. The questionnaire was administered anonymously in a group setting during regular school hours. The obtained results were analyzed using a simple variance analysis (ANOVA). The results confirmed the initial expectations; medical school students achieved statistically significant higher results on the agreeableness scale in relation to their general education secondary school counterparts.
