The results indicate that students in Type C tend to score high in math. The inherence, accordingly, is that it would be suitable for students with higher math scores to major in accounting, economics, Finance, and etc. Then instead of being one and the only guideline for students to follow, it should be one of the factors that students may consider when they decide which courses to take.
