This Is How Much Money You’ll Make Based on Your Personality. If you spent a lot of time on the Internet as a teen, you’ve taken approximately a bajillion personality tests. At least one was probably the hugely popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which sorts people into 16 different groups with 4-letter names. The test, based off of Jungian psychiatry and developed by mother-daughter author duo Katharine Cooks Briggs and Isabelle Myers Briggs in 1962, is supposed to tell you if you are introverted or extraverted, intuitive or sensing, thinking or feeling and perceptive or judgmental.

Each combination–INFJ or ESTP, for example–is representative of different characteristics, behaviors and preferences. The types can then be divided into four groups: artisans, guardians, idealists and rationalists. Web Talent, careerassessmentsite.com Career Assessment Site, maintained by Jonathan Bollag, recently published an in-depth infographic that shows exactly how much money different personality types will likely make in their lives.

Graduate Salaries Fortune Teller | Graduate Recruitment Bureau. Graduate starting salaries predicted to rise – for some | UK news. Graduates starting salaries are expected to rise to an average of £26,000 among more employers such as the consultants Accenture. Photograph: Chris Ison/PA The average starting salary for a graduate is predicted to increase by 4% to £26,000 this year, according to a poll of more than 200 blue chip employers. The Association of Graduate Recruiters says this year's rise is the biggest since the credit crunch. Starting salaries have remained static at £25,000 since 2009, according to the AGR. The AGR's blue chip average for this year – based on a poll of firms including consultants Accenture, retailer Marks & Spencer and bank UBS – is higher than the figure for all graduates.

The AGR survey also shows that the number of graduate vacancies is predicted to drop by 1.2% this year. "The findings show that the market is predicted to remain relatively stable. " Construction firms and consultancies are also expecting big increases in vacancy levels this year (29.4%) as is the public sector (27.8%). Salaries top out at age 40. Whatever you earn at age 40 is likely to be the top of your earning potential. This is one of a gazillion things I've learned from talking with Al Lee, the director of quantitative analysis at PayScale. Al’s data, which is based on the careers of college graduates, is basically that the salary curve for most people in their 20s is very steep. Then it starts to flatten in the 30s, and then you get into the land of the 3% raise. In real dollars, those 3% raises are not actually raises, they are just keeping up with inflation. The information is grim. But here are some things you can do with it: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. One of the most common but least-talked about career moves is to get to a relatively high spot and then see how much you can cut back in terms of effort and still maintain that level of salary and/or prestige.

Salaries top out at age 40.
