Why Do More Grit Lead to Higher Achievement?
At West Point, which is one of the first places that we did research on Gritt and is somewhere that I continue to collect data on Gritt. We find that the cadets who are grittier at the very start of the summer, day two of the program where they kick off your West Point training. During that time, there tends to be attrition, there tend to be dropout. Particularly the summer that I was there, for example, I think between 6% and 7% around that percentage of cadets who drop out.
