Abstract
It was hypothesized that students' view of themselves as academically successful or unsuccessful is influenced by their personalities and also their actual academic performance. Three groups of 209 and 101 Iranian and 128 Turkish students ( n = 438) were given Eysenck's Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Psychoticism Inventory, appended with the test item, “Do you regard yourself as an academically successful student?.” Subjects scoring high and low on extraversion were, respectively, classified as extraverts and introverts, separately for each of the three samples. Comparison of extraverts' and introverts' self-ratings of academic success showed that the number of extraverts rating themselves ‘successful’ was consistently higher in each of the groups compared, lending some support to the above hypothesis.
