Abstract

To explore the correlation between personality traits and physics score, we enrolled 60 students as samples, and obtained their Big Five personality traits by NEO-FFI questionnaire. The average of the scores of the midterm examination and final examination of both Grade 7 and Grade 8 is used as the predictor variable. The correlation analysis showed that the conscientiousness is positively related to physics score, and the neuroticism is negatively related to physics score. Other three personality traits are not related to physics score.
