Although the literature describes several other predictors of life success or “achievement” (e.g., intelligence, academic performance, attitudes and aspirations, and personality traits) ( Credé et al., 2017), grit signifies strength of character as it encompasses great effort, deep commitment and interest in achieving goals over long periods of time despite setbacks, failure and adversity ( Duckworth and Quinn, 2009). Grit, a universal predictor of life success regardless of context, individual character or occupation, is defined as the trait-level perseverance and passion an individual has to pursue long-term goals ( Duckworth et al., 2007). The linear use of the Grit-O scale should therefore carefully be considered. Finally, concurrent validity was established through relating the GRIT-O to task performance. However, measurement invariance between genders could only be established for the B-ICM-CFA model. The instrument showed to be reliable at both a lower- (Cronbach’s alpha) and upper-level (composite reliability) limit. The results showed that both a two first order, bi-factor structure as well as a less restrictive two factor ESEM factorial structure best-fitted the data. The Grit-O scale was subjected to a competing measurement modeling strategy that sequentially compared both independent cluster model confirmatory factor analytical- and exploratory structural equation modeling approaches. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties (i.e., factorial validity, measurement invariance, and reliability) of the Grit-Original scale (Grit-O) within the Netherlands. 6Department of Applied Psychology, Lingnan University, Tuen Mun, Hong Kong.

At OCC, it will help you start a conversation about your evolving passion and perseverance and help you be more successful in college. Want to discuss your grit score? Talk to your Success Coach! You can find out who your Success Coach is by going to your school page at The Grit scale was originally developed by Dr. Getting your grit score is an opportunity for self-reflection. Even when progress toward that goal is slow. And grit is holding steadfast to that goal. Instead, grit is about having a goal you care about so much that it organizes and gives meaning to almost everything you do. Grit isn’t how intensely, for the moment, you want something. One way to think about grit is to consider what grit isn’t.
Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term goals. OCC students are encouraged to take the short survey linked below to determine their “grit” score.
