Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-discipline has been found to be a better predictor of academic success than intelligence or talent. Students who have strong self-discipline are better able to regulate their behavior, set goals, manage their time, and persist in the face of challenges, all of which are important for academic success. While attendance is important for staying on track with class material, it is not necessarily a predictor of long-term academic achievement. Intelligence and talent may provide advantages, but they do not necessarily lead to success without the accompanying self-discipline to take action towards academic goals.
