In addition to supporting factors the encouragement of intrinsic motivation from students' personalities also determines in an effort to get good academic achievement. One of the personality traits that helps a person to be able to maintain his intrinsic motivation is Grit, one of the concepts put forward by Angela Lee Ducksworth.

The mean score of the Grit variable in the Overseas group of students was 37.05 while the mean score in the non-Overseas group of students was 35.17. Overseas student groups showed higher Grit scores than non-overseas student groups.
