Ask Yourself: Do You Think You Have What It Takes to become an independent millionaire? Whether the answer is yes or no, know that according to science, there are common personality traits among the world’s wealthiest people. And it’s high time to unveil them.
A starting point
In an article published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, we learn that five personality traits are commonly associated with the super rich. According to the researchers and authors of the article, namely Marius Leckelt, Johannes König, David Richter, Mitja D. Back and Carsten Schröderit is obviously easier to inherit a nice jackpot (which is the first cause of wealth among the super rich at the moment), but what about the “self-made”, of those who made themselves ?
Well, by dealing with a fairly large panel of millionaires, the researchers managed to identify the sources of their assets. All the information collected was then cross-referenced with the results of participant surveyswho unveiled the 5 “essential” personality traits to become a millionaire.
5 essential personality traits to become a millionaire
The authors of the study we are talking about here conclude the following facts :
We show that the wealthy have higher risk tolerance, greater open-mindedness, greater extroversion, are conscientious, and have lower neurosis.
The authors complete this first sentence by the next onethat is here :
These findings extend and complement existing research on millionaires that has examined giving behavior, time use, and happiness, and provide a consistent and robust picture of the personality traits that characterize the wealthy.
Participants who reflected most faithfully these five winning personality traits mainly belonged to the “self-made” group. The wealthy category that corresponded least well to the five features mentioned above was one whose wealth was largely the result of inheritance and gifts.
The researchers say their results “suggest a unique configuration of personality traits contributing to the economic success of self-employed millionaires”. Thereby, if you are neither really neurotic nor introverted, you are not afraid of risk, you are open-minded and conscientious, do not hesitate to go to the end of your ideas: they could well prove to be profitable, according to the statistics. And if you don’t have the proper type character to the majority of millionairesfear not, other paths lead to wealth, and above all, to well-being.
