Abstract This study aimed to determine the relationship between personality preferences and study orientation among the 71 undergraduate shiftees from the Science and Technology cluster. It also highlighted the participants’ profile characteristics, which include their prevalent concerns, coping strategies, and personality character traits. The findings showed that academic concerns were the most common among students, and they usually resort to screen-related activities to cope with stress. Most students describe themselves as self-conscious and nervous. Furthermore, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) were administered to the participants. Most of the students are more likely to have an Introvert-Sensing-Thinking-Judging (ISTJ) personality preference. Using the Mann-Whitney U test, the findings indicate that students' study orientation is satisfactory in meeting the requirements of the university. Moreover, the study habits and study orientation differ statistically significantly in judging vs. perceiving with the results favoring judging based on the medians. A statistically significant difference was observed between study attitudes scores and personality preferences, particularly inclining for introverts and judging. The findings provide important insights for educators and counselors to explore students' personality traits that can be considered in planning course design and in developing career intervention programs.
