[[File:Harvard u.jpg|thumbnail|right|200px|Harvard researcher Angela Duckworth isolated two qualities that she thought might be a better predictor of outstanding achievement:
<br />
<br />
'''1.''' The tendency not to abandon tasks from mere changeability. Not seeking something because of novelty. Not “looking for a change.”
<br />
<br />
'''2.''' The tendency not to abandon tasks in the face of obstacles. Perseverance, tenacity, doggedness.]]

According to Jocelyn K. Glei's article ''The Future of Self-Improvement, Part I: Grit Is More Important Than Talent'':
{{cquote|Intrigued by what qualities would most accurately predict outstanding achievement, [[Harvard University|Harvard]] researcher Angela Duckworth picked up where Walter Mischel left off. ...Duckworth found that self-control is an excellent predictor of your ability to follow through on certain types of difficult tasks — staying on your diet, studying for a test, not checking your email — but it’s not the most important factor when it comes to predicting success at “extremely high-challenge achievement.”
