, I investigate these questions by looking at the connection between personality traits and lifetime earnings among men at different ages. I find that men’s earnings are not affected by personality at all in the beginning of their careers, but that men who are more conscientious and extroverted, as well as less agreeable, reap large benefits between their 40s and 60s.
I constructed annual earnings measures from retrospective questions in questionnaires that were given every 5-10 years. Personality information came from participants’ parents and teachers, who rated children’s extraversion and openness to experience when they were about 10 years old, as well as from participants themselves, who rated themselves on the traits of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and emotional stability at around age 30.
The benefit of linking earnings later in life to personality measured at a young age is that it makes us more confident that the association between personality traits and earnings did not arise because someone who got a lucky draw with high income became more extroverted as a result. Instead, we can interpret the association as personality influencing earnings. This approach relies on the fact that while personality can change over time, personality relative to our peers is quite stable .
I found that in early years, earnings were no different for men with strong personality traits. At around age 30, a gap emerged, as men who were more conscientious, extroverted, and less agreeable started earning more. These gains from conscientiousness and extraversion fully unfolded in the prime working years, between the ages of 40 and 60.
Researchers have not seen this kind of hump-shaped pattern yet, because most do not separate different age groups. But if we look at data of very young workers, we could erroneously conclude that personality traits do not matter for earnings. Instead, the results here indicate that the main advantages from strong personality traits arise to advanced-level workers.
How about women?
It's reverse in India. Mediocre, introvert rule the roost. Welcome.
$290k in a whole life?
And what about women? Did anything help them earn more than their peers?
If its based on Terman study! Chances are theres a shift. Introvert tech gurus seem to make it big! The scope of Neurodiverse probably not well captured . ADHD seems to be a common trait in the 1 percent

Interesting study findings on men!
Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman has a section on this, when every applicant meets the requirements for very advanced jobs, EQ is the deciding factor
