 High academic grades and high levels of
intelligence are not the sole indicators of
success in certain types of jobs. Traits such
as attitude, sociability, temperament,
emotion, values, vocational interests,
extroversion, introversion, levels of
dominance and submissiveness are
important factors to consider in job
placement.
