- 14. –Efficient –He must be a dreamer. He must be ambitious, but he must also be industrious in order to achieve his dreams.
- 15. –Scientific –He must be systematic, methodical, logical, and precise in his decision pertaining to his research and interpreting the research results.
- 16. –Effective –He must be successful in his experimental research so that its results are useful. Ultimately, he must be able to realize a return on investment from the research outputs by commercializing them.
- 17. –Active –He must be energetic and dynamic in conducting his research until his completion.
- 18. –Resourceful –He must be inventive and quick- witted in conducting his research with the goal in mind of improving his quality of life from poor to rich.

- 23. Characteristics of a Researcher –Intellectual Curiosity –Prudence –Healthy Criticism –Honesty –Creativity –Inventiveness –Productivity
- 24. Characteristics of a Research –Empirical –Logical –Cyclical –Analytical –Methodical –Critical –Replicable
- 25. –Empirical –Is based on direct observation or experience of the researcher. The collection of data is based on practical experience without assistance of scientific knowledge or theory.
- 26. –Logical –Logical research is based on legal principles and procedures in gathering of data. Scientific investigation is done in an orderly manner so that the research has confidence in findings. Logical examination of the procedures used in the research enables the research to draw legal conclusion which are important for decision making.
- 27. –Cyclical Research is a cycling process. It start with a problem and ends with a problem. For instance, a research who has completed his study draws conclusions that dovetail with the findings. Recommendation are based on the conclusion. If there are two conclusion, there are three recommendation is usually further research. In the recommendations, many problems are uncovered requiring further study; thus, the research cycle is repeated.
- 28. –Analytical Research utilizes proven analytical procedures in collecting data, whether historical, descriptive, experimental, or case study. In historical research , the data gathered focus on the past; descriptive research focuses on the present situation; and experimental research focuses on the future. A case study focuses on the past , present, and the future.
- 29. –Methodical Research is conducted in an orderly manner without bias using systematic procedures and techniques, an appropriate research design, and statistical tool to arrive at scientific interpretation.
- 30. –Critical A critical research exhibits careful and exact judgment. A higher level of significance, 1.0 percent or 5.0 percent, must be established.
- 31. –Replicable The research designs and procedures are replicated or duplicated using different materials.
