Would you say youre an INFJ or ENTJ? Or what about an ENTP or INFP? Oh, wait, no, youre totally an ENFP.

No, this isnt something out of a George Orwell novel. Rather, its a four-letter assessment of your personality that you can find by taking the Myers-Briggs test, a personality assessment thats been around since the 1920s. The test measures how extroverted or introverted you are and how you perceive the world, as well as a few other factors.

And apparently, it can tell you how much money youre going to make, according to a new report from Truity Psychometrics. The report surveyed more than 25,000 people using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to see which personality types were more financially successful than others.

The report found that ENTJ and ESTJ personalities who are extroverted thinkers with judgment make the most amount of money.

But the jurys still out on how accurate the test is. Voxs Joseph Stromberg published an article last week that said the test is an ineffective way of measuring a persons success, and that the results dont mean much.

Whatever the case, take the Myers-Briggs test (there are 44 questions, so set some time aside). Then check out this chart to see how much money your personality type makes on average.

Grant funding totaling $93,458 has been awarded to the Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP) by the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. The approved funding will be used to increase motorcycle safety awareness and outreach by encouraging all motorists and motorcyclists to Share the Road.

“The need for motorcycle safety programs is greater than ever, and this support from GOHS enables motorcycle safety programs and impaired riding initiatives to reach riders and non-riders alike” said Commissioner Spencer R. Moore. “Thank you GOHS for helping (the Department of Driver Services) and GMSP educate and encourage all Georgia drivers to ‘Share the Road.’”

The grant allows DDS to further develop the Motorcycle Safety Outreach Program by continuing to fund a position to promote state and national safety initiatives. The GMSP outreach coordinator researches, coordinates and helps maintain an adequate presence at industry events, local schools and colleges, regional meetings and festivals to increase awareness of motorcycles on the roadways and provide the most current information on motorcycle safety initiatives.

Visitors to a GMSP event display are also encouraged to sign up for regular newsletters which provide additional safety information, as well as review the motorcycle safety message on other social media platforms.

GMSP regulates motorcycle training for new riders, as well as seasoned riders, who want to learn how to ride a motorcycle legally and safely. The program is based on a continuum of learning and therefore offers three entry points to rider education.

Students participating in the Basic Riders Course do not need specialized motorcycle equipment, as the GMSP provides both a motorcycle and a helmet to class participants. Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive a 90-day license waiver card that exempts them from both the written and on-cycle skills tests needed to obtain a Class M license in the state of Georgia.

Please visit the DDS website at www.dds.georgia.gov for many online services including the convenience of enrolling in a GMSP training class and accessing many licensing services.
