Along with this comes many factors that may impact the adolescent's decision-making, one of which is their personality, and this factor has been studied in relation to the alignment of students' preferred careers in consideration of their strand. However, there is a gap in studies on whether the adolescent's personality toward career preference is related to their academic performance in their strand. This study evaluates whether there is a correlation between John Holland's Six Occupational Types of Personality Test results and the aptitude test scores of Grade 12 STEM students at Estancia National High School. The student-researchers used a correlational research design and the statistical tool Pearson's r to determine the correlation between the personality and aptitude of the Grade 12 students using the results of the personality test and aptitude test. After using the statistical tool to analyze the data it was discovered that there is a negligible correlation between the six personality types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional, and the aptitude scores of the 30 Grade 12 STEM students. The study's findings provide insight regarding the lack of relationship between the six occupational personality traits and aptitude of Grade 12 STEM students and serve as a reference for future related research studies.
