Abstract

This study determined the relationship between Carl Jung's Personality Theory, particularly extroversion and introversion traits, and the academic performance of Grade 11 students of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute for the A.Y 2024-2025. It further aimed at identifying the level of extroversion and introversion among the Grade 11 students and determined the significant relationship and difference in the academic performance between introverts and extroverts. The researchers utilized quantitative-descriptive techniques, including 144 bonafide Grade 11 students of the said institution through quota sampling. This study used two adopted Likert scale questionnaires: the (1) Big Five Inventory which determined what personality the student had and an (2) Academic Performance Scale along with each student’s General Weighted Average to check their performance. Based on the gathered data where it was observed that students had a moderate level of extroversion and high level of introversion. Moreover, data revealed that there was no significant relationship between the academic performance of students with regards to extroversion and introversion. Lastly, the study showed that there was no significant difference between the extroverted and introverted students’ academic performance. Overall, personality traits alone do not determine the level of academic success among Grade 11 students and do not significantly affect their academic performance. This causes a wider understanding that personality traits are not a meaningful indicator of achievement as a student.
