College Grades and the Group Rorschach: A Follow-Up Study

Analysis of personality traits and academic performance in higher education at a Colombian university

“…Nevertheless, this is not a new approach. According to Hassan (2017) there are several attempts to relate personality and academic aptitude and achievement, such as Noftle & Robins (2007) , Blechner and Carter (1956) , Osborne and Sanders (1949) , Shoemaker and Rothrer (1948) , Sopchak (1958) or Thompson (1947 , 1948a , 1948b , 1951) .

Personality Traits and Academic Achievement among College Students
