Summary/Abstract: Person-environment (P-E) congruence and its relation to study satisfaction and academic achievement were examined. Two interest measures and one self-efficacy measure were used to represent RIASEC personality types. The Croatian version of Personal Globe Inventory was administrated on a sample of 630 university students. The congruence indices have shown that students' future occupations are almost equally related to their interests as to their self-efficacy beliefs. P-E congruence shares less than 1% of common variance with study satisfaction and academic achievement, regardless of the RIASEC personality measures used to estimate the congruence
