Intellectual perseverance is choosing to continue in an intellectual exercise despite obstacles, for the sake of personal and/or societal benefits, continually developing and exercising your unique skills and abilities with emotional prudence (King, 2021)

Intellectual perseverance helps us continue amid difficult content, fatigue, or stress. It helps students to remember the benefits of education, relationships, and work. Perseverance pushes through that last algebra problem; perseverance decides that going to class on a rainy Monday has value.
