The cycle of failure refers to a pattern where past failures lead to a lack of self-confidence, which in turn leads to more failures, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is not directly related to Myers-Briggs personality types, exclusively caused by family problems, or absent in schools with ability grouping. It is a psychological phenomenon that can be overcome with effort and support.
