Abstract: Neuroticism is a personality trait that determines a person's usual response to occurrences that trigger negative emotions. Females are found to score higher in neuroticism than males. Those who have high neuroticism do not cope with stress well making them highly anxious. Easily irritated, and mentally unstable. In this study, the interaction of neuroticism, gender differences, and academic grades in senior high school students is studied through a non-experimental correlational approach. One hundred six (106) senior high school students from Far Eastern University - Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation were evaluated to determine their neuroticism scores and grades. The association of neuroticism scores of students to their gender and academic grades were also analyzed using an independent sample t-Test. Results show that female students have higher neuroticism than male students. However, the mean academic grades of students did not differ significantly suggesting that male students do not have higher grades even though they are less affected by neuroticism. The Pearson's r correlational analysis proved that neuroticism does not affect the academic performance of students.
