Truity research showed that, indeed, ENTJs are some of the highest earners, but there is one personality type that outearns even ENTJ — ESTJ (Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging). According to Truity, ESTJs make an average of $77K per year while ENTJs come close second with an average of $76K per year.

INFJs should pursue the types of careers that make the most of their strengths. This could be researching in a quiet lab environment, writing in the privacy of their homes, or meeting patients in a private office. The best INFJ careers put intuition, empathy, and altruism to good use.

INFJs are typically organized and prefer work that allows them to complete projects in an orderly manner. The ideal work environment for an INFJ is harmonious, industrious, and oriented to a humanitarian mission, with co-workers who are similarly committed to positive change.

Here’s exactly which kind of partnership you’re most likely to thrive in based on your Myers-Briggs personality type.

• ENFP: A passionate, growth-oriented relationship.
• INFJ: A complex, intellectually challenging relationship.
• INFP: A deeply romantic and intimate relationship.

A hopeless romantic is someone who continues to believe in love, no matter the struggles they might have experienced in the past. They choose to see the positive in relationships over the negative, believing wholeheartedly that love conquers all.

The four categories are introversion/extraversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, judging/perceiving. Each person is said to have one preferred quality from each category, producing 16 unique types.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is one of the most popular personality tests in the world. The company’s website boasts the assessment has a 90% accuracy rating and a 90% average test-retest correlation, “making it one of the most reliable and accurate personality assessments available.”

A study published in Nature Human Behaviour reveals that there are four personality types — average, reserved, role-model and self-centered — and these findings might change the thinking about personality in general.

Personalities are characterized in terms of traits, which are relatively enduring characteristics that influence our behaviour across many situations. Personality traits such as introversion, friendliness, conscientiousness, honesty, and helpfulness are important because they help explain consistencies in behaviour.

Overview of the Conscientious (C) Personality Style People who are high in “C” are more introverted and reserved, and task-oriented. They tend to be cautious, calculating, competent, contemplative, and careful. They are typically analytical, detail-oriented, and intentional.

Personality traits are complex and research suggests that our traits are shaped by both inheritance and environmental factors. These two forces interact in a wide variety of ways to form our individual personalities.

Summary: Personality is not inherited from birth parents says new research on zebra finches. External factors are likely to play a bigger part in developing the personality of an individual than the genes it inherits from its parents, suggests the study.

Diving a little deeper into the biological realm, she explains that we don’t inherit behavior or personality, but rather we inherit genes. And these genes contain information that produces proteins — which can form in many combinations, all affecting our behavior.

Tracing a hidden gene through a family tree A trait in one generation can be inherited, but not outwardly apparent before two more generations (compare black squares). The family tree in Figure 1 shows how an allele can disappear or “hide” in one generation and then reemerge in a later generation.

These common characteristics all contribute to family happiness and strength.

• Commitment: They make their relationships a high priority.
• Appreciation: They let other family know, daily, they were appreciated.
• Communication: They talk to each other about big issues as well as small issues.

According to calculations by geneticist Graham Coop of the University of California, Davis, you carry genes from fewer than half of your forebears from 11 generations back. Still, all the genes present in today’s human population can be traced to the people alive at the genetic isopoint.
