In contrast to traditional students, post-traditional students follow a broken path through the education system. Therefore, they are older when studying and often have jobs and families. The aim of the present study was to investigate motivation and personality character traits in 67 adult learners (part-time students) and 84 traditional students using the Czech version of the Business-Focused Inventory of Personality. Adult learners reported a higher level in all aspects of their personality in relation to working life, such as occupational orientation and behaviour, social competencies, and psychological constitution. These findings indicate that, from study-related requirements, part-time students pose higher achievement and motivation, and that they are more conscientious in relation to work and study.

与传统学生相比，传统后学生在教育体系中走的路很断。因此，他们在学习时年龄较大，并且经常有工作和家庭。本研究的目的是使用捷克语版的《商业重点人格量表》调查67名成人学习者（兼职学生）和84名传统学生的动机和人格特征。成年学习者报告说，他们的性格各方面都与工作生活有关，例如职业倾向和行为，社会能力和心理素质，均处于较高水平。这些发现表明，从与学习相关的要求出发，兼职学生会表现出更高的成就感和动力，并且他们在工作和学习方面会更加认真。
