Despite the growing body of research examining the personality traits of individuals with high abilities, little clarity exists about how they differ from the general population, especially within the university context. This study aimed to identify distinct personality traits by examining 268 high-ability university students alongside a matched average-ability group through a retrospective ex post facto design. Results revealed significant differences only in the trait of responsibility ( = 0.037), with lower scores observed among high-ability students. This outcome may be related to specific academic environmental factors, such as insufficient challenges. It can be concluded that, although stereotypes often associate high-ability students with certain personality traits, such as openness to experience, the present results do not reflect such differences. Therefore, it is important to conduct well-designed studies to determine the characteristics of high-ability individuals and how they differ from average-ability students.
尽管对高能力个体的人格特质进行研究的文献越来越多，但对于他们与普通人群的差异，尤其是在大学环境中的差异，仍知之甚少。本研究旨在通过回顾性事后设计，对268名高能力大学生和一个匹配的平均能力组进行研究，以确定不同的人格特质。结果显示，仅在责任感特质上存在显著差异（p = 0.037），高能力学生的得分较低。这一结果可能与特定的学术环境因素有关，比如挑战不足。可以得出结论，尽管刻板印象通常将高能力学生与某些人格特质联系在一起，比如开放性经验，但目前的结果并未反映出此类差异。因此，开展精心设计的研究以确定高能力个体的特征以及他们与平均能力学生的差异非常重要。
