TL;DR: This article reviewed the literature on "noncognitive" predictors-specifically, personality as it pertains to graduate education and concluded that there are many qualities faculty ranked high in desirability but which could only imperfectly be gleaned from sources such as letters of recommendation and personal statements.

TL;DR: This review discusses various conceptualizations of social-emotional skills, demonstrates their overlap with related constructs such as emotional intelligence and the Big Five personality dimensions, and proposes an integrative set of social/emotional skill domains that has been developed recently.

TL;DR: A review of the key literature on response time as it has played a role in cognitive ability measurement can be found in this article, providing a historical perspective as well as covering current research.

TL;DR: The authors developed a working model of persistence informed by a literature review, which resulted in a model centered on three basic categories of variables: those that put students on track towards persistence, those that push them off track, and those that keep them on track.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general framework to account for personality and motivational differences between students is proposed, and a strategy for implementing a comprehensive psychosocial skills assessment in middle and high school, which would include setting proficiency standards and providing remedial instruction.
