In general, young researcher spent most of the time doing experiment or developing a research paper, I observed they are alienated from extra curricular activities.
I also found that researcher (in final stage) not able to recall the courses which they have studied during their Master/Bachelor program.
My question is What personality traits should a young researcher acquire during his/her PhD apart from developing research mindset?
Hi Imran,
I want to write that During PHD one should be focused only on PHD Studies during week days and during Exams. The rest of the week end Students should spend time with family and friends. I dont think Students should Ignore family and friends this is not phsycologicaly healthy to be Isolated. One must spend time with Friends and Family after all PHD Studies should be finished one day and you have to return to your family and friends.
Regards,
Dear Mohd,
Young researchers need to develop divergent thinking at the start of their doctoral studies when they are formulating a good research topic and question. Later they need to be strategic so that they invest their efforts in the right activities. I'm not sure whether this can be treated as personality or just intellect.

Perserverance, organization, patience, disciplined with the ability to walk away from the books, articles and spend time with yourself, family, and friends.
Most important of all, I think if someone endeavouring to be a researcher s/he need to enjoy what s/he does. Researchers need to remember that they are going to be researcher for rest of their life.
From my own perspective, I think it's all about transformation. Attitudinal transformation, intellectual transformation, capacity transformation ... A PhD scholar should be able to think and see things differently away from ordinarily and become a strategist.
One should do research in the area of his own interest As this is the key. Secondly, he/she should know the basics of research and must read good research papers to produce some quality research work.
Persistence. After all, our minds are not built to remember all memories. Thus, persistence is the key.
