Academic Performance (AP) in Primary and Secondary Education is one of the most interesting criterion measures because of its consequences for students’ future. AP is considered a multifaceted construct that includes different domains of learning [1]. It has tried to be predicted by multiple cognitive measures: intelligence [2], executive functions [3], memory and attention [4]; non-cognitive measures: motivation [5], personality [6], psychopathology [7] and study habits [8]; and measures halfway between cognition and non-cognition such as emotional intelligence [9]. There are different ways of measuring PA, such as academic grades, but it is standardised tests that provide the most objective and most closely related measures of the indicators used to predict it [1]. PA has been tried to be predicted from different factors, but in most cases, it has been done with one or a combination of two measures. We propose a study in which we use the following as predictors of PA: intelligence, general personality factor, motivation, emotional intelligence, study skills and psychopathology.
