Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine the psychological constructs of personality, academic self-concept, and perfectionism using latent profile analysis in order to explore the notion of an undergraduate honors student typology. A sample (N = 357) of average ability and high ability undergraduates completed measures of personality, academic self-concept, perfectionism, and demographic information. Latent profile analysis resulted in four distinct profiles which were named Insecure and Disorganized Students, Introverted and Driven Students, Laid Back and Socially Focused Students, and Extraverted and Driven Students. Covariate analysis was then conducted to compare the four profiles on covariates of undergraduate grade point average, identification for a gifted program during elementary school, and current undergraduate honors program membership.
期刊介绍：
High Ability Studies provides a forum for scholars in a variety of disciplines associated with the development of human abilities to their highest level. It is a medium for the promotion of high ability, whether through the communication of scientific research, theory, or the exchange of practical experience and ideas. The contents of this journal are unique in reflecting concerns and recent developments in this area from childhood and across the whole life span in a variety of contexts. Far from being restricted to the traditional focus on high-level cognitive development, it also presents investigations into all other areas of human endeavour, including sport, technology, the arts, business, management and social relations.
