This video describes the relationship between intelligence, conscientious, and success. IQ is positively associated with many positive occurrences like earnings, longevity, career success, and many other items. Conscientiousness is negative correlated with IQ, which was a surprising finding. One theory is that individuals with higher IQ scores do not need to develop conscientiousness, because they can rely on their intelligence to achieve goals.
Conscientiousness is a personality trait in the fivefactor model of personality traits, which is also known as “The Big Five” model of personality. In this model, personality comprises five personality traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. The acronym OCEAN is helpful for remembering the personality traits. Openness to experience is characterized by insight, creativity, an appreciation of art, intellectual curiosity, and a high awareness of feelings. Conscientiousness is characterized by impulse control, planning tasks carefully, being highly organized and prudence. Extraversion is characterized by getting energy from social interaction, talkativeness, and having a large number of acquaintances. Agreeableness is characterized by being cooperative, increased level of caring, empathy, friendly, seeking to compromise. Neuroticism is characterized by mood dysregulation, anxiety, worry, depression, frustrating, nervousness, being easily upset, and low emotional stability.
