The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Locus of control and the labor market (2015, unknown): “8 Cebi (2007) is not able to replicate these results using different data once cognitive ability is controlled.”
Does it Pay to Be Nice? Personality and Earnings in the United Kingdom (2011, background): “Prior research has however shown that the impact of noncognitive skills on earnings do not change substantially once cognitive abilities are controlled for (cf. Heineck and Anger, 2008, Mueller and Plug, 2006, or Cebi, 2007).”
The Returns to Cognitive Abilities and Personality Traits in Germany (2010, methodology): “(Cebi, 2007, p. 930).”
Locus of Control and Job Search Strategies (2010, unknown): “This suggests that previous studies which use a one-dimensional locus of control measure to link self-efficacy to human capital investments generally (Coleman and Deleire, 2003; Cebi, 2007) and job search in particular (McGee, 2010) may be somewhat misleading.”
Why do low-educated workers invest less in further training? (2010, background): “Empirical evidence is, however, not fully conclusive (Coleman and DeLeire, 2003; Cebi, 2007).”
Do smart parents raise smart children? The intergenerational transmission of cognitive abilities (2010, background): “Yet, substantial returns to cognitive abilities have been found even when taking into account individuals’ background characteristics and also non-cognitive skills (Heckman et al., 2006; Mueller and Plug, 2006; Cebi, 2007; Heineck and Anger, 2008)”
