The purpose of this study was three-fold: first, to identify factors which have been recognized in earlier research as being non-cognitive correlates of academic achievement; second, to develop an instrument which would measure the perceptions of students as to the relative importance of these non-cognitive correlates; and, third, to determine whether students' perceptions of the relative importance of non-cognitive correlates of academic achievement significantly affected academic success.
