- Grit: Passion and Perseverance, Honestly Assessed
Grit, from Angela Duckworth, is passion and perseverance for long-term goals — sustaining effort and interest over years, not just intensity in the moment. It’s an intuitive and useful idea, but be honest about the science: meta-analytic work suggests grit overlaps heavily with the established trait of conscientiousness and adds relatively little predictive power beyond it, and the perseverance component does more of the work than passion. Treat grit as a helpful lens, not a settled predictor. - Choose consistency over intensity
