    (0021-06-12) BISMA TANVIR
    The findings imply that personality traits are the strong predictors of better academic performance. However, several personality traits do not have a positive impact on the academic performance. The population of this research consists of students in various colleges and universities. Thus, the sample consists of bachelor's and master's students. Existing scales are adopted with minor changes to make it more suitable and understandable within the study context. A total of 154 questionnaires were distributed. Among these 154 questionnaires, 78 questionnaires were received from men and 76 were received from women for the purpose of data analysis. This shows an encouraging response from the targeted sample. Education and productivity of the students are influenced by their personality as well as their emotional intelligence abilities. The findings imply that being extrovert is a strong predictor of student achievement and should be prioritized in intervention strategies. Despite its low overall relative value, agreeableness is a significant driver of student achievement. The conclusions of the current study have significant consequences for educators and policymakers.
