This study was conducted at St. Peter’s College of Iligan City from 50 respondents, three (3) males, and forty-seven (47) females were to answer a standardized questionnaires designed and revised by the researchers. The following revealed the findings of the study: After the data were tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted, the following findings emerged. The majority of the respondents were female. The majority of the respondents had a satisfactory Grade or GPA, which was 1.2-2.0, and the least have a good Grade or GPA, which was 2.1-2.5. The majority of the respondents often answered that personality traits and mental health has both positive and negative effect in their academic achievement. The respondents still had a satisfactory Grade or GPA, which was 1.2-2.0, and the least have a good Grade or GPA, which was 2.1-2.5 which means that personality traits and mental health cannot affect the studies of the respondents.
