Abstract
In our study, we will be examining the effects of personality on study skills and notetaking. We will examine whether personality influences study skills and notetaking habits. We collected our data using an anonymous, online survey that measures variables such as personality, notetaking, and study skills. We will examine two areas of personality, conscientiousness and openness to experience. Our first hypothesis is individuals who score high in conscientiousness have better study skills than those who score low in conscientiousness. Our second hypothesis is individuals who score high in openness to experience are more likely to take notes in colored ink than those who score low in openness to experience. Our study has been approved by Kent State University’s Institutional Review Board and our data collection is currently ongoing.
