The personality types and multiple intelligences of 108 randomly selected hospitality and tourism management graduating students from Wesleyan University Philippines were explored in this descriptive-correlational study. The findings revealed that the respondents were at the appropriate age to begin their professional careers. They were more relaxed, patient, and easy-going individuals. Bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal intelligence were their top three intelligences, implying that they could excel as performers, salespeople, authors, skilled employees, and leaders. When they work in a firm that values collaboration and teamwork, they will perform better. Their personality types have nothing to do with their multiple intelligences.
