subject: Outgoing People Are More Likely To Succeed [print this page] In 1989, a theory called Five-Factor Model was proposed by McRae and Costa, famous psychologist in American. This theory announces that person's psychological qualities are divided into five parts: extraversion, neuroticism, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness. Different types of psychological qualities have different behaviors. As for extraversion, they have good ability of communication and have rich sentiment. What about neuroticism? They are easy to be troubled and have the feeling of insecurity and self-pity. People with openness often have rich imagination and always seek changes in life. When referred to agreeableness, enthusiastic, helpful and trust of others are the features. The conscientiousness people are self-discipline, careful and arrange their life orderly.
Based on the theory, in order to explore the influence on academic and work among different characters. Vence and others researchers have had a seven-year follow-up study on more than 600 medical students in Belgium. At the first year when the students entered the university, they are surveyed with the test of Five-Factor Model, in the next six years, researchers traced the students' achievements on both academic and work.
Finally, Research results show that those who work hard and proceed with caution are easy to success. A point is not the same as expected by researchers is responsible is not only important to theoretical study in the previous years, it is more significant to the later work. The characteristic of honest, reliable, attention to detail and sensitive for interpersonal relationship are considerable. For students of extraversion and agreeableness, generally, they are not very good at the learning, but after several years they usually have good performance in work. "The outgoing people spend too much time on social communication at the beginning of a few years, which would delay their study. Once into the practice, the personality of self-confident, gregarious, talkative and helpful will be able to make up for their shortfall on study, so that they can have in overall performance." Dierchete explained.
Judging from this research, it is feasible to predict people's studies and achievement through the character. These results not only can be extended to other countries, also can be applied to our life, It reveals that diligent work is important, most importantly, warm and open to people and life would let you go further.
