Summary/Abstract: This paper presents results of comparing technical university students with students studyingtourism from the perspective of their personal diagnostics. We used the Big Five personality traits andGrit-S scale as these are fast and reliable tools that can reveal, among others, whether job applicantshave the personality profile required for the job. In the case of tourism, the applicants should be extraverted,agreeable and with a low level of neuroticism. The study showed that the personality of tourismstudents is on average within the population norm, but they differ significantly from technical studentsin certain personality factors. Tourism students manifest significantly higher conscientiousness andagreeableness than technical students. It can be presumed that students with greatest perseverance andconscientiousness are those studying tourism, then students studying management at technical schools,whereas rather technically and science-oriented VSCHT students had the lowest score.
