CURIOUS
•A successful researcher is curious and
determined to investigate the difficulty of
things.
•Taking pleasure in reading research journals,
in finding out different trends in research, and
in discovering and learning new things is also
a trait of a curious researcher.

EFFICIENT
•Efficiency is manifested in the proper use of
time, effort, and resources for an intended
purpose. Meaning, it is doing things right.
•Qualitative researchers must be efficient in
managing research schedules because most
often they deal with people, soliciting
cooperation and time when gathering data.

EFFICIENT
•If the researcher is inefficient, then the
respondents’ time will be wasted. When this
happens, convening the respondents again for
data gathering may be difficult.
•Furthermore, if the researcher cannot manage the
research funds efficiently, there is a great chance
that the research will not be finished, and support
and confidence of funding agencies may be
farfetched for future research undertakings.

LOGICAL
•Researchers do not venture on any method to
attain their goals. They usually follow
procedures identified to the scientific method
in finding out answers to their queries.
•Because of this use of the scientific method,
researchers are described to be logical.

EFFECTIVE
•Being effective means doing the right
things.
•Researchers must know how to foresee errors,
so that they can be addressed immediately, if
not totally avoided.
•Proper procedures should be developed to
minimize the effects of errors.

ACTIVE
•Researchers always respond to the challenges
of the modern world.
•They get involved in all research
opportunities available for them, and
collaborate with others in research activities
relevant to their expertise.
•They must also be active in sharing
information and helping other researchers to
further and advocate their research areas.

PRACTICAL
•In the event where resources are limited,
researchers must be able to find ways to make
use of the given resources and locally
available materials to compensate for the
things needed without compromising the
quality of the research output.
•They must also be aware of other sources of
opportunities to deliver what are expected
from their research studies.

INVENTIVE
•Researchers always have unique ideas.
•If a method is not feasible, they have
alternative procedures to attain the objectives
of the research.
•They always try to find unique or new ways
to handle difficulties in solving a problem.

HONEST
•Researchers display a high level of
intellectual honesty.
•They are not influenced to what is expected,
but rather to what is true.
•Regardless of the results of their
investigations, good researchers report
accurately their findings in their reports.
•In the event of contrasting results, they find
reasons for the cause of conflict.

researchers make it to the point that these
resources will not be wasted.
•To them, every single peso is important and
must be utilized properly.
