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.
