“…Historically, research examining academic performance and attrition rates of engineering students has primarily focused on academic factors such as high school GPA, performance in various standardized exams, and performance in math courses (Hakimi, Hejazi, & Lavasani, 2011;Zhang, Anderson, Ohland, & Thorndyke, 2004) . However, an examination of the literature revealed that there may be other factors contributing to the academic success of engineering students, such as socioeconomic status, motivational levels, self-efficacy, gender, and personality traits (Zhang et al ., 2004) .…”

This study explored whether and to what extent vocational personality types based on Holland (1994) correlate with and explain unique variance of academic success among 117 undergraduate civil engineering students by using the Self‐Directed Search–Form R, 4th Edition. Findings indicated that the majority of participants’ 1st‐letter code was Realistic (39.3%), 2nd‐letter code was Investigative (24.8%), and 3rd‐letter code was Social (21.4%), compared with Holland's 3‐letter codes for civil engineering (Investigative, Realistic, Enterprising). The study also calculated the degree of congruence between personality type and occupational environment. For career counselors, the findings underscore the importance of using congruence scores to predict engineering students’ academic performance.

The study investigated the relationship between personality traits and academic underachievement among secondary school students in Yenagoa and Ekeremor local government areas in Bayelsa State. Correlational Survey research design was used for the study with a focus on three personality traits namely; openness to experience, conscientiousness and extraversion. The population of the study consisted of 3,610 SSII students in the two local government areas. Three instruments were used to gather the needed data; they are Bakare’s Progressive Matrices (BPM) which was used to identify students with high mental ability, Teachers Made Achievement Test (TMAT) and Students’ Personality Descriptive Scale (SPTDS). Purposive sampling techniques were used to draw a sample of 200 students identified as underachievers while simple random sampling technique was used to select the schools for the study. Pearson products moment correlation was used to answer the research questions and probability level with chosen alpha level of 0.05 used to test the hypotheses. The study found out that there was a significant negative relationship between openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion and academic underachievement among the senior secondary school students in Ekeremor and Yenagoa local government area. Based on the findings it was recommended among others that the government should establish effective guardian and counselling units in all the secondary schools in the local government areas to guide both high and low achieving students.

“…En ese sentido, la apertura se impone como un factor invariable entre los alumnos exitosos, manifestándose en una predisposición a aprender sin prejuicios y facilitando la integración de variados métodos de estudio que permitan el acceso a nuevas experiencias cognitivas que se suman al bagaje informacional actual (Hakimi et al, 2011;Clark y Schroth, 2010). Considerando lo anterior, se estima que la apertura podría tener mayor relevancia que la inteligencia, pues en su ausencia, el estudiante no podría aprender de forma significativa, aun teniendo ventaja cognitiva sobre otros (Farsides y Woodfield, 2003).…”

Afrontan de manera equilibrada situaciones de estrés académico e insatisfacción, mostrando lejanía con un cuadro neurótico, básicamente por su relación consciente con las normas en armonía con sus sentimientos. Presentan apertura a la experiencia vigilada por el tesón de la dominancia. Tienen alta autoeficacia basada en la percepción de su inteligencia, y en el control de sus actos, sin dejar que sus emociones lo dominen, llegando a ser resilientes y promotores de cambios en su entorno.Palabras Clave: Personalidad; estudiantes exitosos; 16Pf, Cattell; estudiantes universitarios. AbstractThe objective of the research was to determine the personality profile of successful students of the "Universidad Técnica de Machala",, Ecuador, by applying the 16pf test. The personality profiles of 292 students with averages between 9.5 and 10, during the second academic period of 2015 were studied. The 32% of students were male and 68% female. The average age of the population was 25 years old. The results report that successful students show shared characteristics between the practicality and the unorthodox. They have a strong tendency towards the pragmatic, practical and logical, demonstrating self-control. Their intelligence does not exempt them from showing compliance with intellectual interests that are consistent with the sustainability of academic standards. They face the stress generated from academic situations and dissatisfaction in a balanced manner, showing distance with a neurotic picture; basically, because of their conscious relationship with standards that are in harmony with their feelings. They demonstrate openness to the experience supervised by the determination of dominance. Successful students have high self-efficacy based on the perception of their intelligence and in control of their actions, without letting their emotions dominate them, becoming resilient and promoters of changes in their environment.
