Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Millionaire?

So first, the bad news. Women still only account for just 4% of Fortune 500 CEOs and on average experience a 17% pay difference from men. Urgh.

What's the deal? When Psychologist Dr. Jude Miller Burke saw this disparity, she wondered whether personality trait differences could be to blame. So she studied over 100 female millionaires in order to find out and discovered that there were five big personality traits that these successful women almost all had most in common. Which means that the good news is that if you tick all these boxes, then who knows? Maybe you'll be rolling in cash one day...

1/ CONSCIENTIOUSNESS

"Highly conscientious people are described as efficient, organised, and thoughtful,' says Dr Burke. 'A less conscientious person may be known by the words 'easygoing' or 'careless'."

"If you need to plan exactly where you are going to be every minute of your vacation, you rank on the high end of conscientiousness. A person who goes on vacation without a single hotel reservation is on the opposite end of the spectrum." Meaning that it's all well and good to be spontaneous, but it probably won't net you millions anytime soon.
