- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to examine how high paid and low paid individuals differ when it comes to personality and intelligence.

The study consisted of a quantitative method with questionnaires as the basis for the data collection. The questionnaire included the IPIP-NEO-30 personality test, the ICAR-16 intelligence test and information about the participants income.

The results exhibited that highly paid individuals had a higher level of conscientiousness (4,16 versus 3,84), lower levels of neuroticism (1,90 versus 2,66) and a higher IQ (8,85 versus 6,61) than the lower paid individuals. There were no significant differences between the two groups when it comes to agreeableness, extraversion and openness. Previous research suggests that extraversion is another indicator for economic success, but these findings were not consistent with our results. (Less)

- Denna studie har undersökt hur hög- och lågavlönade skiljer sig i personlighet och intelligens. Studien har besvarat frågeställningen “Vad finns det för samband mellan specifika personlighetsdrag, intelligens och hur ekonomiskt framgångsrik någon blir?”. Undersökningen utgjordes av en kvantitativ metod med enkäter som grund för datainsamlingen. Enkäten inkluderade ett IPIP-NEO-30 personlighetstest, ett ICAR-16 intelligenstest, samt information om inkomst. 57 deltagare besvarade enkäten, varav 36 kvinnor och 21 män. En One-Way ANOVA gjordes för att testa hypotesen. Resultatet visade att högavlönade hade högre samvetsgrannhet (4,16 respektive 3,84), lägre neuroticism (1,90 respektive 2,66) och högre IQ (8,85 respektive 6,61) än lågavlönade.... (More)

Det fanns ingen signifikant skillnad mellan hög- och lågavlönade när det kom till välvillighet, extraversion och öppenhet. Tidigare forskning har däremot funnit att extraversion också är en prediktor för ekonomisk framgång. Detta går däremot inte att utläsa i denna studies resultat. (Less)
