    Two indicators could easily be rephrased as passion items for the Grit Scale.

    Degree to which he works with distant objects in view (as opposed to living from hand to mouth). Active preparation for later life. Working toward a definite goal.

    Tendency not to abandon tasks from mere changeability. Not seeking something fresh because of novelty. Not “looking for a change.”

    And the other two could easily be rewritten as perseverance items for the Grit Scale.

    Degree of strength of will or perseverance. Quiet determination to stick to a course once decided upon.

    Tendency not to abandon tasks in the face of obstacles. Perseverance, tenacity, doggedness.

    In her summary comments, Cox concluded that “high but not the highest intelligence, combined with the greatest degree of persistence, will achieve greater eminence than the highest degree of intelligence with somewhat less persistence.”

    For a lot of people, passion is synonymous with infatuation or obsession. But in interviews about what it takes to succeed, high achievers often talk about commitment of a different kind. Rather than intensity, what comes up again and again in their remarks is the idea of consistency over time.

    Passion should be consistent

    In medicine, doctors recognize that chronic diseases require a lifetime of treatment. Why do we assume that behavior change is any different?
