According to a new review of the link between personality and academic achievement, personality is a better way to predict success at school than intelligence as it’s usually measured, by traditional standardized tests. Arthur Poropat, of Griffith University in Australia, compared measurements of what psychologists call the “big five” personality traits — openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism — to academic scores, and found that the students who were rated higher in openness and conscientiousness tended to receive better grades. 最近一项有关人格特征和学术成就之间联系的研究综述表明，对于学生在学校取得学业成绩高低的预测，人格特征比通常认为的智商更重要。澳大利亚格里菲斯大学的亚瑟·波罗派特对比了被心理学家称为“大五”人格特质的五种人格特征--开放性、尽责性、外向性、亲和性和情绪稳定性—与学业成绩的关系，发现开放性和尽责性得分较高的学生容易取得更好的成绩。 "In practical terms, the amount of effort students are prepared to put in, and where that effort is focused, is at least as important as whether the students are smart,” Poropat said in the release accompanying the paper, which was published in Learning and Individual Differences. “And a student with the most helpful personality will score a full grade higher than an average student in this regard.” |
