Abstract
Grit is a personality trait that affects human attitudes and behavior in various contexts. Researches showed that Grit is a significant predictor of a person's success, both in education and occupation. Grit consists of the consistency of interest and perseverance. The purpose of this study is to describe Grit in university students. The instrument of this study is the Grit Scale based on Duckworth Theory. The participants of this research are 354 students in the city of Semarang. We used a cluster random sampling technique to select the participants of the study. We used descriptive statistics in JASP. The results show that 23,17% of students on the high Grit level, 65,5% of students at a moderate level, and 11,3% on a low level. The implication of this study will be discussed further in this article.
