There is a wide range of personality types and work styles in the workplace. According to recent research, some personality traits do better than others when it comes to getting a promotion.
Extroverts are more likely to ascend the career ladder, and neurotics are more likely to stay where they are. According to a report published by Joblist last month, 25% of workers with outgoing personality received a promotion last year.
30% of participants with high levels of neuroticism have never received a promotion, while others have. It was the highest percentage of any personality group studied.
The survey respondents were asked to rate their personality on a scale of 1 to 5. The Five-Factor Model is used by psychologists today. The data is based on participants self- reporting, so the report has certain limitations.
Many of its findings are intriguing. Your own assessment of your personality could affect your annual salary. Highly neurotic people were the most likely to earn $34,999 annually, while conscientious people were the most likely to make at least $75,000 annually.
People with neurotic tendencies were less likely to hold senior or executive positions.
The survey found that 83% of respondents who scored themselves highly in agreeableness said their job aligned with their intended career path, while 70% of neurotic people said their job didn't.
The most people who quit a job in the prior two years were included in the neurotic group, as were the people who planned to look for a new job in three to six months.
People with high scores in other personality traits were more likely to have issues with work-life balance and mental health due to their tendency to have higher levels of emotional sensitivity than other.
According to the report, people with high levels of openness have a tendency to make decisions based on gut feeling.
