Introduction
According to Duckworth and Quinn (2009) [1], grit is trait-level perseverance and passion for long-term goals and it can be used as a predictor.
{{quotation|Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, and Kelly (2007) [2] introduced the construct of grit, defined as trait-level perseverance and passion for long-term goals, and showed that grit predicted achievement in challenging domains over and beyond measures of talent. For instance, at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, cadets higher in grit were less likely to drop out than their less gritty peers, even when controlling for SAT scores, high school rank, and a measure of Big Five conscientiousness. In four separate samples, grit was found to be either orthogonal to or slightly inversely correlated with intelligence.[1]
