Graph 2: Representation of individual types of personality, 2019
Graph 2 and Table 2 show that the most numerous type of
personality is choleric (34.7% of the sample of respondents),
which is characterized by a higher rate of extroversion and
neuroticism. The second most frequent type in the sample of
respondents is sanguine (30.7%), which is characterized by a
higher rate of extroversion, but emotional stability. The sample
of respondents therefore represents 65.4% of extroverts. The
lowest proportion is represented by the personality type of
phlegmatics (12%), which is characterized by low extroversion
(or high introversion) and emotional stability. The number of
respondents with a higher rate of neuroticism is 57.3%.
3 Discussion
The Based on the data obtained and their comparison with other
studies, it can be said that the selected sample of respondents
contains a relatively higher proportion of extroverts of 65.4%
compared to the study described by Settineri et al (2018), whose
selected sample of respondents contained 46.5% extroverts and
53.5% introverts. Chigerwe, Bodreaux and Ilkiw (2019)
conducted personality type surveys in veterinary medicine
students, where the proportion of extrovert types was 46.7%,
with introvert types slightly prevailing. Qanwal and Ghani
(2019) report that 49% of the respondents were extroverted.
When comparing the results found in the research itself, there is
a relatively greater prevalence of extroverted types of personality
over introverted ones, which may be influenced precisely by the
focus of the study field, which is more humanitarian oriented
and the future graduate is expected to have regular contact with
people. At the same time, the field of marketing communications
places greater emphasis on the use of foreign languages, and as
mentioned in the article above, extroverts may be better placed
to learn foreign languages and at the same time have an
advantage over spoken language (Zafar, Khan and Meenakshi,
2017) which can be considered as appropriate traits among
marketing communication students. Furthermore, extroverts in
teamwork can more effectively apply their communication skills
and communicate in a more confrontational style (Roslan et al.,
2017).
4 Conclusion and future work
This article deals with the degree of extroversion and
neuroticism among university students in the field of marketing
communication, which assume communication skills, language
skills, but also the ability to work in a team and the ability to
sociability. The data showed that the proportion of extroverts is
higher than in the comparison studies and suggests that students
(respondents) could have the necessary prerequisites for the
given study and professional orientation.
In relation to the possible extension of the survey in the follow-
up research, it is possible to propose to link the type of
personality with the results achieved in the teaching of foreign
students and extend the research to students of other branches.
