The Study of the Relationship between Personality and Academic Performance

Research showed that there are also non-cognitive factors responsible for high academic performance. Personality is now a relevant factor studied in relationship with academic performance. The study aims to identify the relationship between personality and academic performance using 80 participants aged between 22 and 28 who graduated university. We used EPQ to measure Neuroticism, Extraversion, Psychoticism; MBTI for the level of organization during activities and Rosenberg‘s Self-Esteem Scale. Academic performance was evaluated by the final project grade and by the overall grade of the last academic year. Accurate identification of individual differences in academic performance has serious implications for education.
