If the choices you make professionally are somehow driven by a deeper personal need? If this is a new concept you are now exploring, you may be shocked to learn about some recent findings.The surprising, yet unsurprising results of a recent study conducted by Truity show that personality does play into professional goals, choices, opportunities, and successes. The study surveyed 25,759 people and came back with results covering the 16 MBTI personality types. The personality types are based on the following four styles Extrovert vs. Introvert Thinker vs. Feeler Sensor vs. Intuitive and Judger vs. Perceiver.By looking at the different personality types, the study was able to show which personality types were the highest earners, most satisfied with their jobs, and most likely to manage others. Because some personality types are mora likely to be men than women, the study also looked at the differences in gender, and it was shown that gender had little impact on the results.Below are a few of the takeaways from the Truity study, and the full infographic.Extroverts report better job satisfaction than introverts.Thinkers supervise more people than feelers.Intuitives are more likely to be self-employed than sensors.Judgers earn more money than perceivers.ENTJ and ESTJ personality types have the highest average incomes.ESFJ and ENFJ experience the most job satisfaction.ENTJ and ESTJ are most likely to supervise others.INFP, ISFJ, and ESFP are more likely to be stay-at-home parents.ENTP, ENFP, and INTP are more likely to be entrepreneurs.ISFP are most likely to be unemployed.The findings of the study are quite intriguing and can be highly useful when starting a new career or transforming the one you have. Those who are more apt to being alone might prefer remote work over those who need to interact wit h others frequently. The results can also help you determine which fields may or may not be a good fit.
