Personality characteristics which are meaningful to
achievement in oral work.
Ways to measure personality with special reference to
the High School Personality Questionnaire.
An empirical study inter alia revealed the following:

achievers.
(ii) Verbal intelligence, emotional instability, anxiety experience
and introvertedness play an influential role in achievement in
oral work.
(iii) Girls tend to achieve better in oral work in the secondary
