Research using the scales developed by Eysenck and Cattell is reviewed at school level and in higher education. The results suggest an age effect in which academic success at primary school is linked to stable extra-version, while success at university is associated with introversion. This simple pattern is, however, complicated by a variety of interactions which indicate that the relationships may differ with intellectual level, with type of institution and with the subject being studied. There is also a suggestion that the style of teaching may affect the relationships between personality and attainment. Finally, evidence on the stability of scores on the JEPI is used to question the direction of causality normally assumed in the interactions
