But, of course, it's definitely not causation. Although IIRC grit, motivation, self-control is even better.Well. I would agree that it's a fair predictor of academic success, the rest, meh. "Successfulis" such a subjective term so as to be useful. Within those constraints sure, but I wouldn't agree that's how success is measured.
Dunno, I'm just speaking based on studies I've stumbled upon.
