The Claim that Personality Is More Important than Intelligence in Predicting Important Life Outcomes Has Been Greatly Exaggerated Intelligence 92 (May-June 2022): 101631. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289622000125 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Cross-national Analysis; Educational Attainment; Germany, German; Grade Point Average (GPA)/Grades; Intelligence; Mid-Life in the United States (MIDUS); National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (AddHealth); Personality/Big Five Factor Model or Traits; Wages; Wisconsin Longitudinal Study/H.S. Panel Study (WLS) We conduct a replication of Borghans, Golsteyn, Heckman and Humphries (PNAS, 2016) who suggested that personality is more important than intelligence in predicting important life outcomes. We focus on the prediction of educational (educational attainment, GPA) and occupational (pay) success, and analyze two of the databases that BGHH used (the NLSY79, n = 5594 and the MIDUS, n = 2240) as well as four additional databases, (the NLSY97, n = 2962, the WLS, n = 7646, the PIAAC, n = 3605 and the ADD health, n = 3553; all databases are American except of the PIAAC which is German). We found that for educational attainment the average R2 of intelligence was .232 whereas for personality it was .053. For GPA it was .229 and .024, respectively and for pay it was .080 and .040, respectively. |
