Grit (personality trait)Grit in psychology is a positive, non-cognitive trait based on an individual's passion for a particular long-term goal or endstate coupled with a powerful motivation to achieve their respective objective. This perseverance of effort promotes the overcoming of obstacles or challenges that lie within a gritty individual's path to accomplishment and serves as a driving force in achievement realization.

What is it that sets people with grit apart? Robertson-Craft and Duckworth describe their key characteristic this way: “Gritty individuals work diligently towards very challenging, long-term goals, sustaining commitment when confronted with setbacks and adversity.” That sounds like a quality that would be immensely useful in teaching—and many other professions.
