1. How has Lebanese Education System Affected the Personality Development of School Students The personality of the student contributes to the academic motivation and performance of school students. It is the foundation of their interaction with colleagues and teachers and also shapes their future in society. The personality traits, as stated in the Myers and Briggs theory of personality, plays a vital role even in childhood behaviour. These traits influence not only the goals a student sets for themselves, but also influences the path which the student takes in achieving these goals. Research has emphasized that the 'Big Five Personality Traits' play a significant role in developing traits suitable for a healthy personality in a student. These Big Five Traits are Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. So, in this blog, we see how these personality traits affect the development of school students: 1. Conscientiousness: Conscientiousness has been linked to educational achievement and particularly to the will to achieve. Those who are conscientious are expected to be successful in their work or careers. In work settings, recent research has demonstrated that managers perceive cognitive ability and Conscientiousness as the most important attributes related to whether or not an applicant is hireable. 2. Extraversion: Students who score high on extraversion of the personality trait scale are usually sociable, talkative, communicative, and friendly. They also have intrinsic motivation and a positive attitude. Such students can also be described as active, bold, assertive, exciting, and stimulating. Such traits make for 'extroverts' who go out of their way to achieve their goals and make their place in society.

2. 3. Neuroticism: Students must score low on neuroticism. Low neuroticism ensures that the students are calm and relaxed in the work environment at school. They have lower levels of anxiety and depression in their personal lives. Scoring high on this personality trait can hamper their academic motivation and hinder their performance in studies. 4. Agreeableness: This trait is seen to score higher in female students than male students. A high score in friendliness leads to the student being kind, merciful, forgiving and understanding. Such a trait increases the likeable factor within students, making them more social and responsible within their peers.
