ABSTRACT. The aim of the present study is to examine and evaluate the relationship between personality and outcomes, dimensions of personality that influence the acquisition of skills and knowledge, and the effects of personality traits on socioeconomic outcomes. The theory that I shall seek to elaborate here puts considerable emphasis on cognitive ability as a powerful predictor of economic and social outcomes, the relationship of personality measures with years of schooling, and the validation of intelligence and personality measures in psychology. pp. 160–165
