Personality predicts academic performance: Evidence from two longitudinal university samples
This journal focuses on the relationship between personality and academic performance. It is a quantitative research where data are converted into numbers before it is interpreted. It is also a longitudinal research where academic performances are assessed in a three year period. Using two well-establish personality measure which is the Big Five personality factors (NEO-FFI) and the Gigantic Three dimensions of personality (EPQ-R), the researcher correlate the academic students’ academic performance with their personality. The research was reliable and valid since they use a appropriate psychometric tool to measure personality and they measure academic performance base on their operational definition. All in all, although there are several limitation, the result can be use as a guidance for teachers.
