The huge improvement of wireless services and the growth of web applications have drawn the attention of major sectors including the educational sector which have tried to solve to students challenges with the help of web applications and other application software. Hostel accommodation system has evolved from the traditional approach to the current state where students are automatically allocated to rooms by a software system either based on a first come first serve basis or in a randomized manner. Incompatibility of roommates is still an issue with the current allocation system. This has stimulated this research which aimed at developing a Personality-Based Hostel Allocation System (PHAS) where students are allocated to rooms based on their temperaments. The study adopted Eric Jorgenson’s open four temperament scale test to develop a sorting algorithm which judiciously detects and allocate students to available rooms within the hostel accommodation. A PHAS model was designed which could be adopted by education institutions with hostel facilities. However, algorithms to allocate students to bed spaces or other hostel facilities can be considered as future works.
