Looking for a new role or career that aligns with your personality? A recent report from Resume Genius<\/a> takes common personality types and maps them to job options using wage data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/p>\n Resume Genius used the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator<\/a> (MBTI) personality test, which separates people into 16 different types based on a combination of eight traits: introversion (I) and extroversion (E), sensing (S) and intuition (N), thinking (T) and feeling (F), and judging (J) and perceiving (P). An INTJ personality type, for example, would identify more with introversion than extroversion, and associate more with intuition, thinking, and judging.<\/p>\n Even though the Myers-Briggs test has been criticized for being vague<\/a>, general<\/a>, and pseudoscience<\/a>, 88 of the Fortune 100<\/a> have still used it for staff development. Marriott, Ernst & Young, and the U.S. Air Force have all tapped into it, according to Myers-Briggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n “By using your Myers-Briggs personality as a factor in your career exploration and decisions, you are much more likely to find work that aligns with your natural ways of deriving energy, noticing the world around you, making decisions, and engaging with the world around you,” Helen Roy, Certified MBTI Professional and HR Total Rewards Senior Consultant at SAP stated in the report.<\/p>\n Related: <\/b>This Couple’s Weekend Side Hustle Began With a $50 Facebook Marketplace Purchase \u2014 Now It Earns Millions of Dollars a Year: ‘You Don’t Need Money to Start’<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Though the report claims to find the highest-paying job by personality type, the salaries range considerably, from $239,200 to $52,910. The option recommended by the study may not be the end-all-be-all highest job you can find with a certain personality type \u2014 but could be a good starting point.<\/p>\n “Whether you’re introverted or extroverted, the key is to find positions that match your strengths and allow you to contribute meaningfully,” Resume Genius executive director Ed Huang stated in the report, adding that “top-earning jobs exist for every personality type.”<\/p>\n Here are the jobs with the highest median wage for every personality type.<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $239,200<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 816,900<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $145,760<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 826,300<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $120,360<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 168,900<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $103,840<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 3,787,800<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $101,770<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 3,300<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $93,310<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 123,700<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $92,740<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 196,000<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $86,070<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 3,172,500<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $76,250<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 32,400<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $74,910<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 808,700<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $73,690<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 151,200<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $65,220<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 1,072,300<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $57,120<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 334,200<\/p>\n Annual median wage: $52,910<\/a><\/p>\n Number of jobs (2022): 54,600<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n1.
