Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While a student's level of extraversion or introversion may be interesting to study, it is not particularly useful in predicting their behavior following success or failure on an exam. Self-esteem, locus of control, and explanatory style, on the other hand, have all been found to be important predictors of how students react to academic success and failure.
