Best type at making money?

[dynamiteninja]

Making it, not necessarily spending and investing it wisely.

Probably an ExTx I'd say. ENTxs and ESTPs perhaps?

[Saslou]

Nice .. Ok i can do bronze.

 

[Lightyear]

Well I am good at keeping money together but am bad at making it in the first place so I don't think INFJ is going to be on top of the list.

 

[Athenian200]

It's definitely not INFJ.

I can't even get an INTERVIEW.

Agreed. I'm good at conserving money, avoiding spending it, putting it in savings, etc... but I'm terrible at creating income. It's like a hellish chore.

 

[nomadic]

Wow. Totally J dominant.

Anyone who is borderline P and J, what do you do to focus on bringing out your J more? Is it the more "organizing" boom boom boom type of thinking? Or is it focusing more on the sharp decision making and not looking back kind of thinking?

 

[entropie]

If you turn that list upside down you get the types that have the most sex dont you ?

No, concerning myself, I am the opposite to Aethinian. I always find ways to make money, even with little things but I barely can save it. There a those moments I decide to spontaneously spent money on some new computer gadget I dont need and puff there goes $75

I have founded a little webdesign company with a friend, when I was young and we had four big customers in the boomtime of the website development in companies. And at the moment I earn for a 15 hour week around $12,000 / a as a consultant in engineering for my hometown, while being a student. And I can live like a king with that money.

I dont know how much and how fast I earn that much later in my job, but I know in my field that is either in sales of complex technical products or product-/projectmanagement I am gonna start at around $60,000 / a and then it goes up to around $200,000 / a, if you become the boss of a team.

My greatest dream would be tho to run my own company, what prolly automatically means I wont earn that much money, cause you know entrepeneuers are the first to be made paied horrendous taxes in Germany . But there is always still the opportunity to conquer America and found a company there, for example .

I basically had to learn about the importance of money. And even nowadays there are a lot of important things to me and a lot of personal values I hold, but money-making really comes late in that list. There is this mood I can get in, like a rampage, when I only think about making-money all the time. In that mood I am quite industrious but its not second nature to me, its something I had to learn in the course of my life.

I still despise tho people, who only think in terms of money. Like my parents for example, they got 2 houses and my dad collects cars and he has got 6 so far, ranging from a fat sports car to a 30 year old Ford Escort, but they still complain about not having money in bad times. Meaning they dont see what they got themselves with the money, they only see that at the moment money is lacking and you cant really think that way, if you invested that much in property.

It was a pain in the ass to unlearn the depressive mood about things and pessimistic way to look at things, I learned from my parents and I am not fully there yet. But if I am gonna spent a huge sum of money on something in the future, I am gonna love what I get for my money and wont whine about the "lost" money. There is only one life you live and one should enjoy it as much as wanted and possible.

Heh! I'm #1-P! Yay! I mean...urrrr...what the hell does that mean?!

You know, this list is all about AVERAGES.

I am NOT average, and therefore WILL break out of that particular line up.

If I have to marry a mortally ill trust fund heiress I'll do it, I don't give a fuck at this point, I'm sick of working.

 

[The Ü™]

ESTPs, I would say. They're hustlers.

The question was not which type is most likely to get rich.

 

[Nonsensical]

You're a hustler, does that make you an ESTP

Probs not, that's poor logic.

But you are a hustler.

and by the way, Capone was probably an ESTP.

 

[FDG]

I'm good at making money but not that good at saving it. Becoming better now, but whenever I save money there is always a lingering feeling that I'm wasting my life away. I don't buy useless things, but I like going on trips, eating out, etc. etc.

 

[Synarch]

I'm pretty good at making it, pretty good at saving it, but I really hate working, so I'm not surprised to find ENTP at the bottom end.

I believe in min max solutions. Minimum effort for maximum payoff. I have a few friends that make more than me, but I would honestly never trade places with them. They appear to work at least 8 hours a day and 5 days a week. Who wants to do that?

 

[Ghost of the dead horse]

I read all the charts in that INTJ Forum thread. What a disgrace of statistical misuse. ENTJ are among the most often married, and surprise, they are among the best in annual household income. (Find the connection here).

Of course the income is just not about family size (which probably goes up with the status of being married), but it's potentially a strong influence. This is why factor interdependencies should be figured out before doing conclusions. But, factor analysis and such is beyond the most statistician-wannabes.

What does ENTJ have to do with making the most money?
Whatever the claim there you see is bull, unless you are a millionare yourself and can prove us wrong.

Ok, first you could start being sensical.

More precisely,

1) What have I supposedly expressed seeing other than one statistic explaining another?
2) Speaking of statistics, what claim I have I made that would be proved by taking myself as an example?
3) What claim I have made that would benefit from me being a millionaire?

Answers found out by reading my hidden motives from my mind don't qualify.

I am thinking along similar lines as you. I think the reason that J's are at the top of the list is that their principals and values are externally defined. It could be that ExxJ's put the highest priority on making money, or it could be that they put the highest priority on things like marriage and that consequently means they end up making more money (or it could be other external factors like acquiring possessions of status, etc...). However you look at it the goals are externally defined, so the J's want money more because of that.

With P's the goals are more unpredictable. I know that there are ENTP's out there who will work to start a successful business. However there are also ENTP's out there that are content to live in their parents basement and not ever get a job if they can get away with it. The goals of P's are less consistent from person to person.

 

[Ghost of the dead horse]

Hm, perhaps I've shouldn't have posed that as a question.

There's J-like values that do contribute to making money, as Liquid Laser and others have finely stated.

Look at the link INTJ forum. Some of those who's households earn the most are most often married, making the number of earning people in their household higher. So, interpreted other way, ENTJ might just choose to live with a mate more often. Not entirely true, but.

Ahh I'll post here, no-one will look the link anyway

when you look closely, the gap in avg income between numbers 1 and 2 is huge in comparison!
