dc.description.abstractThe study investigated personality, home influence and the academic achievement of girls in Kaduna State Science Secondary Schools. The sample of (N=250) was drawn from SSII students from five Girls' Secondary Schools in the state i.e. Giwa, Soba, Kaduna, Zonkwa and Kwoi. The data was collected using two questionnaires: the Home Environment Questionnaire and the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory (JEPI). The student's academic performance was obtained by collecting the average scores in their past examination records of three terms in English and Mathematics. These are the compulsory subjects in the secondary schools. The Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient technique was use>d to test five out of the six hypotheses. The results found no significant relationship between the Home Environment, Personality disposition i.e Introvertion, Extravertion or Neuroticism with academic achievement. Analysis of Variance was used to find out if any differences existed between the personality types in their academic achievement. The results showed no significant difference in academic achievement. The socio-economic background, parental education and parental encouragement did not correlate significantly with performance. From these findings, conclusions were drawn and recommendations were offered.en_US
