This scientific article examines the influence of cognitive functions according to Myers-Briggs, a person's belonging to a particular type of personality on the choice of a profession in architecture and construction. In modern society, choosing a profession is becoming an increasingly difficult and important task for every person. Not only financial stability depends on the professional path, but also the level of satisfaction with the quality of life, the degree of contribution to society and even the psycho-emotional state of a person. However, when choosing a profession, individual personality traits and psychological aspects are rarely taken into account, which can have asignificant impact on a person's ability to successfully perform their job.The study includes an empirical analysis of data collected using the Cognitive Process Assessment questionnaire and a self-developed questionnaire among bachelors, undergraduates and working professionals, as well as a review of relevant literature. The predominant personality types of students in the specialty "Architecture" and "Construction" were identified, and the features of their cognitive functions were described. The comparative analysis revealed similarities and differences between the two specialties, as well as between the respondents in each of the groups.The relationships between Myers-Briggs personality types and the professional characteristics of architects and builders reveal which personality types reflect individual professional characteristics, including talents, inclinations and work style. The results of the study will help both students and educational institutions to understand how to better correlate personal qualities and goals with the choice of a profession in the architectural and construction field.
