Abstract
Agile Software development is now a global phenomenon and is rapidly becoming organizations' most preferred IT process. Extreme Programming (XP) is one of the Agile Methods and Collaborative Pair Programming (CPP) is one of the very important practices of eXtreme Programming. Agile focuses team work which is very important in the field of software development. The software industry has practiced CPP, where two programmers working side by side on one computer on the same problem with great success. Similar experiments have been conducted in academia and pair programming has been shown to be beneficial for both students and teaching staff in university courses. In this study, we conducted some set of experiments about the "human" aspect of the CPP; in particular the effects that personality attributes may have on pair programmer's effectiveness as a pedagogical tool. A formal experiment has been conducted during 2012-13 odd semester at the PSG College of Technology, India to investigate the influence of personality differences among paired students using the five-factor model as a personality measurement framework. The aim of this research is to improve the implementation of CPP as a pedagogical tool to the academic setup through understanding the impact of the variation in the personality profile of paired students towards their academic performance.

Summary
This study presents the results of CPP experiment conducted at PSG College of Technology, during the oddAgile software development focuses on team work and is important in the field of software development. The person, called the navigator, has several duties, including monitoring and reviewing the work of the driver on the lookout for both syntax and strategic errors. Strategic errors occur during the semester of 2012-13 It involved 132 students who will learn computer based programming subjects which investigated the human aspects of CPP in which the effectiveness of pair programmers, affects the personality attributes using the pedagogical tool. It investigated the influence of personality difference among students those who pair programmed. The personality effects can be measured by academic performance, i.e., Lab exercises, Programming assignments, objective type test
