Abstract: The objective of education exclusively aims on students. The goal of education said to be achieved once the students’ knowledge, skill set and attitude is groomed under the efficient supervision of well-trained educators.

Learning is the way toward getting new data or capacity to fabricate data from definitely known data.Learning is influenced by the human behavior (i.e. Affective).Human behavior is influenced by the living environment. Education aims to provide efficient and peaceful environment to mold students’ personality and learning skills. Educational Data Mining is one of the budding applications in educational sector. It helps to understand better the students’ learning activity and their overall involvement in the activity.

This exploration is to contemplate the impact of the Personality characteristics and Learning Styles on the scholarly execution of the understudies as indicated by Bloom’s Theory. Eysenck Personality Inventory and Criterion Reference Model used to decide the identity of the understudies. Supervised and unsupervised techniques are used to analyze students’ dataset. Students are clustered based on the Personality, Learning Style and Performance by employing Multi-Layer Perceptron and EM clustering Technique. Descriptive and Predictive modelling is applied to determine the association between students’ Personality, Learning Styles and Academic Performance using mapping or function. The study depicts the existence of positive correlation between student’s Personality traits, Learning styles and Academic Performance. This research helps the educators to understand students’ Behavioral, Attitudinal and Emotional Growth during the learning process as a Personality and their learning ability. It helps the educators’ to provide appropriate training for improving their expertise in academics accordingly.
