This exploratory study examines the relationship between personality and classroom performance. The personality measure is True Colors, the testing is measured by results on a paper-and-pencil test in a senior-level human resource management course at a large southeastern U.S. university, and the performance assessment is grades on written assignments. The link between personality and testing is contentious, with some researchers stating a definitive link between the two and other authors stating no link between the two components. Results of the data analysis suggest that the Blue, Gold, and Orange colors of the True Colors personality traits influence student learning in the classroom. By understanding the relationship between a student's personality and his or her success in the classroom, an instructor can enhance student learning.
