A study of personality characteristics which distinguish between achievers and underachievers in a talented group of eighth grade pupils

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

In the present study an attempt is made to discover some of the personality differences which contribute to the underachievement of certain talented pupils. Perhaps, by investigating the presence of such characteristics, it will be possible to develop curricula to assist these talented pupils in the fullest development of their academic potential.
