This paper arises from the question of the correlation between specific personality traits and academic performance, since it is of crucial importance to consider variables other to students' grades that also affect this phenomenon. The objective was to correlate personality traits with the academic performance of students in a higher education institution. This is a quantitative, correlational research, with a final sample of 214 students. Results confirmed that there is a positive correlation between those variables. Personality traits of abstractedness and perfectionism correlate with academic performance. Results show that perfectionism and abstractedness traits and sex, affect academic performance. It is still important to notice that there are other factors (beyond the scope of this research) that could possibly have a significant impact on academic performance.
本文源于特定人格特质与学业成绩之间的相关性问题，因为考虑除学生成绩之外还会影响这一现象的其他变量至关重要。其目的是将人格特质与一所高等教育机构中学生的学业成绩关联起来。这是一项定量的相关性研究，最终样本为214名学生。结果证实这些变量之间存在正相关。抽象性和完美主义的人格特质与学业成绩相关。结果表明，完美主义、抽象性特质以及性别会影响学业成绩。仍需注意的是，还有其他因素（超出本研究范围）可能会对学业成绩产生重大影响。
