Abstract
This study explored the Grit-O Scale’s factors, structure, and potential gender or racial differences with the measurement tool. The results identified traits correlated with Grit-O revealing relationships with perseverance, toughness, adaptability, and goal commitment. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that a two-factor structure requiring modifications is an adequate fit model. Grit-O showed no significant relationship with vocabulary IQ, indicating independence from cognitive ability. A Welch’s T-Test and ANOVA suggested no significant gender or racial differences in Grit scores. Future research could use these findings to improve the Grit-O model and understand the concept better. Practitioners could potentially employ the Grit-O tool in selection and interventions and predicting job success. However, ethical considerations are essential to proceed. Further research should address limitations and explore a more diverse sample to gain more knowledge of the application of the Gri-O measure.
