Core Personality

Today, many researchers believe that there are five main core personality traits such as: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness. Basically, one of the big 5 personality dimensions is extraversion: This trait includes characteristics such as excitability, sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness and high amounts of emotional expressiveness.   Extraversion is regarded as a valid predictor for two occupations involving social interaction, managers and sales (across criterion types).Besides that, the Need For Achievement is the extent to which an individual has a strong desire to perform challenging tasks well and to meet personal standards for excellence.
            Furthermore, the relationship between personality type and achievement in an undergraduate physiology class can be illustrated through the following case study. The   Myers- Briggs   type   indicator   (MBTI)   was   given   to   163   students   in   an undergraduate   Human   Physiology   course   at   a   large   state university.   Selected   MBTI   personality   types   were   compared   for achievement   in   the   course   using   a   t test   to   compare   total   points earned.   High   grades   were   earned   by   students   stronger   in   the traits   of   introversion   (I)   and   judgment   (J),   whereas   the   extra- verted   (E)   and   perceptive   (P)   types   had   the   lowest   grades   and dropped   out   of   the   course   in   the   largest   numbers.   The author conducted the conclusion that there is definitely a strong relationship between personality and   achievement.
          It is strongly believed that the Human Physiology course is essentially combined with judgment, thinking, or introversion.   Instructors   and   students   need   to   be aware   of   the   relationship   between   personality   and   learning   so they   can   modify   their   teaching   style   and   learning   behaviour   to enhance   academic   achievement.
          In addition, it is highly recommended that one of the most prominent trends in...
