Popis:	This study aims to examine the relationship between self-identity and academic achievement among secondary school students in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia. A total of 391 form four students from all over Sarawak were involved in this study. Quantitative methods in the form of a survey and descriptive analysis were employed. The Self-Identity Instrument (IJD) was created to measure the level of self-identity in secondary school students. This study utilized three types of data analysis. The descriptive analyses of frequency and percentage were used to describe the level of student’s self-identity. A further inferential analysis was also conducted and findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between self-identity and academic achievement. From the results of this study, it was concluded that students with a high level of self-identity are more likely to have better academic achievements. Therefore, in order to improve academic performance and achievement, an individual student must have the ability to develop his or her own self-identity.
