“…The results indicated that students who were female, non-traditional, accounting major, and other nonbusiness major students using a deep studying approach were positively correlated with students' performance and GPA. Bealing et al (2009) examined the relationship between students' performances on Principles of Financial Accounting (I) and type of learning by determining the personal desires of students. The study hypothesized that personality type determines a student's ability to perform well in the accounting program.…”

“…Predicting the academic performance of students studying various accounting subjects has garnered considerable attention in recent years from accounting education scholars who have examined several factors that were thought to influence students' performance when learning accounting subjects such as gender, age, race, major, nationality, marital status, personality type, grade history, college GPA and experience, high school GPA and experience, motivation and expectations, study approaches, lecture attendance ____________________________ *Dr. Khalid A.

The purpose of this study was to perform an empirical investigation of the influence of select factors on the academic performance of students studying cost accounting. This study attempts to fill some of the gaps in the existing local and regional accounting education literature and to provide comparative evidence for the harmonization of international accounting education. A stepwise regression model using a sample of 156 students who were enrolled in four sections of a Cost Accounting course at the College of Business Studies in Kuwait during the 2012/2013 academic year was used to test the study's hypotheses. The results indicated that the influences of the selected factors are diverse in their effects on students' performance. The college major GPA had the most significant influence on students' performance, followed by lecture attendance and, finally, college experience. Students' gender, age, nationality, score on secondary school examinations, branch of study in secondary school, prerequisite grade, and overall GPA in college showed no significant influences on students' performance. The study concludes by considering the implications of these findings on the administration of the College of Business Studies and similar institutions, as well as for instructors, and suggests avenues for future research.

Psychology says not everyone is able to do all type of tasks assigned to them. This point is valid for people working in the software industries as well. Therefore, when assigning the most suitable tasks to people according to their personality type, a software development company’s succession rate can be proliferated to a remarkable level. In this manner, the main theme of this empirical research is to find relationships that establish links between personality type and their job designation preferences in the software industry. For this purpose, this study is comprised of 44 Pakistan developers, who are working in different software houses and are directly involved in developing software projects. In addition, an MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) test indicator is used for the link establishment. With respect to the reported results, tester, team lead, and project manager are found to be ENFJs, which is the least common type in software developers. However, for web developers and software engineers, ISFJ is found to be the most preferable type, with an edge over ENFJ.

“…The results support the idea that procrastination negatively impacts academic performance. Bealing, Staley, and Baker (2009) investigate the relationship between questions on the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (a questionnaire used to assess 16 personality classifications) and performance in introductory financial accounting. Data are from 95 students at a single US university.…”
