ABSTRACT: 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.
