We conduct a replication of Borghans, Golsteyn, Heckman and Humphries (PNAS, 2016) who suggested that personality is more important than intelligence in predicting important life outcomes. We focus on the prediction of educational (educational attainment, GPA) and occupational (pay) success, and analyze two of the databases that BGHH used (the NLSY79, n = 5594 and the MIDUS, n = 2240) as well as four additional databases, (the NLSY97, n = 2962, the WLS, n = 7646, the PIAAC, n = 3605 and the ADD health, n = 3553; all databases are American except of the PIAAC which is German). We found that for educational attainment the average R² of intelligence was .232 whereas for personality it was .053. For GPA it was .229 and .024, respectively and for pay it was .080 and .040, respectively.

我们对 Borghans、Golsteyn、Heckman 和 Humphries (PNAS, 2016) 进行了复制，他们认为在预测重要的生活结果时，人格比智力更重要。我们专注于预测教育（教育程度，GPA）和职业（薪酬）成功，并分析 BGHH 使用的两个数据库（NLSY79，n  = 5594 和 MIDUS，n  = 2240）以及另外四个数据库，（NLSY97，n  = 2962，WLS，n  = 7646，PIAAC， n  = 3605 和 ADD 健康，n  = 3553；除了 PIAAC 是德国的之外，所有数据库都是美国的）。我们发现，对于受教育程度，平均 R ²智力为 0.232，而人格为 0.053。GPA 分别为 0.229 和 0.024，薪酬分别为 0.080 和 0.040。
