Resumen

La investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar el perfil de personalidad del estudiante exitoso de la Universidad Técnica de Machala, Ecuador, mediante la aplicación del test 16pf. Se estudiaron los perfiles de personalidad de 292 estudiantes con promedios ubicados entre 9,5 y 10, durante el segundo período académico del año 2015. El 32% fueron del sexo masculino y el 68% femenino. La edad promedio de la población fue de 25 años de edad. Los resultados reportan que el estudiante exitoso presenta características compartidas entre la practicidad y lo bohemio; tienen una fuerte tendencia a lo pragmático, práctico y lógico, mostrando autocontrol. Su inteligencia no lo exime de mostrar conformidad con intereses intelectuales coherentes con la sostenibilidad de la norma académica. Afrontan de manera equilibrada situaciones de estrés académico e insatisfacción, mostrando lejanía con un cuadro neurótico, básicamente por su relación consciente con las normas en armonía con sus sentimientos. Presentan apertura a la experiencia vigilada por el tesón de la dominancia. Tienen alta autoeficacia basada en la percepción de su inteligencia, y en el control de sus actos, sin dejar que sus emociones lo dominen, llegando a ser resilientes y promotores de cambios en su entorno.

 

Abstract

The objective of the research was to determine the personality profile of successful students of the “Universidad Técnica de Machala”,, Ecuador, by applying the 16pf test. The personality profiles of 292 students with averages between 9.5 and 10, during the second academic period of 2015 were studied. The 32% of students were male and 68% female. The average age of the population was 25 years old. The results report that successful students show shared characteristics between the practicality and the unorthodox. They have a strong tendency towards the pragmatic, practical and logical, demonstrating self-control. Their intelligence does not exempt them from showing compliance with intellectual interests that are consistent with the sustainability of academic standards. They face the stress generated from academic situations and dissatisfaction in a balanced manner, showing distance with a neurotic picture; basically, because of their conscious relationship with standards that are in harmony with their feelings. They demonstrate openness to the experience supervised by the determination of dominance. Successful students have high self-efficacy based on the perception of their intelligence and in control of their actions, without letting their emotions dominate them, becoming resilient and promoters of changes in their environment.
