General intelligence and a strong work ethic are the best predictors of college grades. Contrary to expectations, mathematical knowledge did not improve predictions above these two factors. Read Full Article #CollegeSuccess #GPA predictors #StudyHabits
🧠 A 1960s study using Project TALENT data revealed that general mental ability and conscientiousness are the top predictors of college GPA.
📚 Mathematical knowledge, surprisingly, did not enhance these predictions.
📈 General mental ability was the strongest predictor, with conscientiousness further improving accuracy when added.
🏆 High school GPA acts as a mediator, as good high school grades (influenced by ability and conscientiousness) strongly predict college success.
