In a Representative Sample Grit Has a Negligible Effect on Educational and Economic Success Compared to Intelligence Social Psychological and Personality Science published online (14 July 2020): DOI: 10.1177/1948550620920531. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1948550620920531 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Intelligence; Personality/Big Five Factor Model or Traits; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We compare the relative contribution of grit and intelligence to educational and job-market success in a representative sample of the American population. We find that, in terms of ΔR 2, intelligence contributes 48-90 times more than grit to educational success and 13 times more to job-market success. Conscientiousness also contributes to success more than grit but only twice as much. We show that the reason our results differ from those of previous studies which showed that grit has a stronger effect on success is that these previous studies used nonrepresentative samples that were range restricted on intelligence. Our findings suggest that although grit has some effect on success, it is negligible compared to intelligence and perhaps also to other traditional predictors of success. |

Occupational Intelligence as a Measure of Occupational Complexity Personality and Individual Differences 203 (March 2023): 112005. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886922005104 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Intelligence; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Occupations; Wages; Wisconsin Longitudinal Study/H.S. Panel Study (WLS) We examine the construct validity of occupational intelligence--the average intelligence of the individuals working in a certain occupation-- as a measure of occupational complexity. We show that it is highly correlated with traditional occupational analysts' based measures of occupational complexity (DOT and O*NET based measures), and considerably less so with occupational pay--the average pay of the individuals working in each occupation. We also show that the interaction between individual intelligence and occupational intelligence in predicting pay is similar to the interaction between individual intelligence and traditional measures of occupational complexity. We discuss the advantages of using occupational intelligence as a measure of occupational complexity when compared to the two traditional analysts' based measures. |

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. |
