In terms of innovation skills, significant differences were found among students in the Faculty of Islamic Sciences based on their gender. It was determined that male students have a significantly higher perception of innovation skills. It was found that newly enrolled students (18-20 age group) have higher neuroticism traits compared to their older peers. Regarding the educational level variable, analyses showed no significant differences in the sub-dimensions of neuroticism, self-discipline, agreeableness, and openness to experience based on the educational level.

Additionally, considering demographic factors such as gender and age is important to understand students' individual differences and needs.
