The Personal Characteristics Predictors of Academic Success
When we talk about the academic achievement of students and their personality, the internal state of a student is in connection with his personal experience and individual differences and talents, dispositions, motives, his "I" and a whole range of cognitive processes. Modern psychological theories of personality consider that learning and academic success achieved represents the overall activity of the individual. It is very important to know and determine the factors that affect the learning process of getting a full picture of the personality of the student and his achieved academic success. If we go deeper into the analysis of the personality of the student we will identify that on the academic success, despite curriculum external factors have a significant impact on the dominant traits of the personality of the student. Personal characteristics are presented as a set of internal components that determine the success and quality of action of the students. The relationship between the dimensions of personality and academic success are the subject of research of many authors .One group of authors put emphasis on intelligence as a factor for success in the learning process, while another group believes that success depends on the personal characteristics that are dominant in the individual. The purpose of this paper is to ascertain role of personal characteristics among the students in achieving their academic success, and for you to realize which personality traits are dominant among respondents of male and female gender. For this purpose, in the research we applied the big five models of personality by which we obtained data on the five dimensions of personality: neuroticism (N), agreeableness (A), openness to new experiences (O), extraversion (E) and consciousness (C).The research is conducted on a sample of 74 students aged from 20 to 22 years, whereas success is taken according to the average score they have achieved during their studies. As a result of the survey, it can be seen that among female students there is a positive correlation between openness (O) and extraversion (E) with success at school, and among the male students there is a statistical significance between agreeableness (A) and neuroticism (N) success in learning. Based on the conducted research we can conclude that the success depends on the personal characteristics of the person. Introduction Traditional systems of educational work has one-dimensional basis, where the person is seen as a substrate material for the role of external influences. Many learning theories reduce down the behavior and learning of students to passively reacting on external developments, whereas external influences do not correlate with the structure of the student's personality (abilities, attitudes, motivations, etc.) Today, it is known that they are of great influence to the students achievements. When talking about the academic achievement of students and the personality of the student, the internal situation is associated with the personal experience of the student and individual differences and talents, dispositions, motives, his "I" and a whole range of cognitive process. Academic success is defined through two perspectives: external and internal. External perspective relates to academic success,
