@@sdn5682 ESTPs probably have the most potential for that but luckily for Barclays, Halifax and national insurance companies most of them choose to be decent, straight-laced (and ultimately law-abiding) citizens. Mr Krabs (ENTJ) would be at the Bikini Bottom bank quicker than Sandy (ESTP) could say squirrel, Squidward clarinet or Spongebob Krabby-Patty. The latter takes quite some doing in terms of speed. The sponge dude’s laced with functional, bubble-and-burger-friendly amphetamine round the clock. Patrick on the other hand is an obvious ISFP who happens to be quite mentally dim (which probably isn’t the prototype at all for that enneagram-type if Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney are anything to go by, but the pink star does happen to be a class-A-quintuple-star dunce). His life purpose is very much inside a rock. He probably buys Krabby Patties on mutual bestie credit.

[@Multitudes_]

As an INFP who's been through her share of financial struggle, this is no surprise to me. There's a number of factors that have worked against me here. First, most of my biggest interests and talents are not well-aligned with lucrative fields. Second, I value way too many things above money, status, or conventional ideas of success. Third, I haven't always been very driven or proactive career-wise and have been prone to inertia sometimes. Fourth, I'm not good at things like networking or selling myself. Finally, I do love freedom and doing my own thing, and find conventional job structures pretty suffocating. Today, I actually make good money as a freelancer, with a whole lot of freedom and flexibility. But it took a really long time to get here, and freelancing itself was full of stressful ups and downs before I got to a good, stable place. It's great to be free from financial strain, but I really had to get there my own way.

[@IndieRockerHippy]

As an INFP who is currently unemployed after being made redundant last year, can i ask what kind of freelancing you do? It's the only thing that really appeals to me at the moment but i have no idea where to start - i know, typical INFP!

[@Multitudes_]

​@@IndieRockerHippy I'm a freelance editor, currently working with web content and academic research. I'm not sure where you live, but here in the US you can pretty much find jobs like this the same way as regular jobs on job boards like Indeed (best to use 'remote' for the location), or sometimes small gigs on Craigslist or something. It would probably be easiest to find something related to whatever you already have experience with, but there's lots of different types of freelance work out there if you're interested in pursuing a specific area (in some cases, that might require furthering your education or otherwise building up some specialized skills). There's also lots of full-time or part-time work-from-home jobs in many fields. I will say that in my field and writing-related work in general, there are many low- or mediocre-paying jobs, and the higher-paying jobs can be very competitive, so it can take some persistence to land something good, and typically you'll need a few jobs like this (most of them are pretty small jobs, so you need to find the right mix for your needs) to make a living. Of course, it also gets easier as you gain more experience. There's also lots of different ways these jobs can be structured and managed that may work better or worse for you. I know there are other ways to go about freelancing too, this is just what I have experience with. You can do your own research if you're interested, especially pertaining to whatever specialty you're considering.

I think a lot of the increase comes with confidence. INFJ here, just turned 40. When I was starting out in my career, I was insecure and grateful for the opportunities. I didn't ask for raises, I didn't shop around. INFJs are also loyal. Every job change for me was from layoffs, not by choice or purposefully trying to make more money. But I did make more money each time I started somewhere new. Hey, I see patterns! Slowly I've learned my worth and built my confidence to demand what I want. INFJ are hard working, caring, and can see the big picture of our goals. It just takes us awhile to get there. It also takes some time to find a place where we feel we have purpose and to really be happy with both the job description and the pay - if it ever happens. I will never be cut throat and I will never sacrifice my values for pay.

[@ramsez_r]

I have a very similar experience to you as an INFJ. I never asked for a raise, but my manager keep bumping my salary higher than the others. I spent 5 years on my first job, learning so many things.

Dena, similar circumstances here. Though I did ask for a promotion once. I didn't get it, but it was an interesting experience in analyzing personalities. It also made me more proactive in exploring where my life and career should go. This led to an opportunity seemingly falling from nowhere, and my knowing it was the right way forward. My then boss supported my making the move but did "borrow" my skills/time from the new department occasionally until others got up to speed.

My INTP brother was making peanuts throughout his twenties. Then, he found a field where he got to work pretty much independently, doing something he actually kind of likes doing, and is one of the top producers where he works and makes a really solid income. I think some personalities might average higher because they are more "any job is okay" types than others. Some need to find something more specific to find their stride.

To younger INTP’s, go do stuff - explore. The earlier you figure this out, the more exponentially you’ll grow amazingly later. Exploring exploits your Fe auxiliary - the more data points you have, the faster you grow confident and anchor onto how to navigate your perception of life and figure out how get what you want. INTP’s are like life hackers, a big reason they jump up from 14th to 5th is because they can utilize their ENTJ shadow functions - the faster they grow the quicker they can figure out what they want and exploit their shadow (which is ENTJ, the #1 earner).✌️ If you do the math, you’ll realize jumping from 14th->5th means INTP’s end up having some of the highest salaries later in life - exploring earlier enables you faster. edit: disclaimer - please DO think twice (or a bajillion times 🙃) before doing risky/irrational things, comment more meant to explore new interests until you figure out what motivates you in life 😅

[@IndieRockerHippy]

As an INFP, i think one of the main reasons we can be so late to bloom and figure out what we want is because we're being raised in a society that doesn't see things the way we do, and doesn't value what we value. I know when i was in high school and college i still had no idea what i wanted to do and i felt like creativity wasn't a "job" so i didn't do art or anything like that in school. Instead i did what i thought i should do - business etc and i hated it. If we're not encouraged to be creative from a young age, I think we can turn our backs on that stuff to try and fit in or do what we're "supposed to do". Especially when you put our aversion to conflict into the mix - we'll just go along with what parents and teachers say cos we don't wanna upset people, and then we end up really depressed and with no idea what we want to do with our lives! Ahhh fun times.

[@Ilogunde]

This! I (INFP) experienced exactly this. Turned my back to the things I loved doing (art and history) and did things I'm not cut out for. I began studying a field I was remotely interested in, that turned out to be soooo boring to me that I lost every interest in it. So I dropped out of studying it. When I finally turned to one of my passions, I was allready on the way to a burnout. The financial stress made everything worse. So I had to drop out too. I now work part-time in a completely different field with a low income. But it's enough for me to be myself. I'm happy and I don't think anyone needs more than that!

[@IndieRockerHippy]

@@Ilogunde Glad to hear you're happy. That's the main thing in life. And if you can focus on your passions just for fun, then that's great! At the moment i'm still searching but I'm also pretty happy (jobless at the moment!) and i'm enjoying the freedom.

Medicine’s such a broad speciality that you can’t hone out every non-ENTJ type (except unbridled absolute Se flakes of whatever type who are too hyperactive to even sit still at the fucking dentist’s office, let alone conduct surgery - no shade - and probably the obvious IXFP dreamy idealists as well). INFJs and ENFJs make wonderful psychiatrists (that’s the sort of career that appeals to INFJs more than anything else - writing’s usually just a random complementary gift they have and use to bide time/as a hobby otherwise). ESFJs make exemplary paediatricians. At least the grounded, non-flakey ones (and they do exist). Either way I’d rather have an INFJ type than ENTJ as a shrink if I needed olanzapine and/or tricyclic antidepressants. I’m sure most people would as well.

Your husband can probably easily make double your salary if he really wanted to XD. Sad thing is that we ENTPs just don't have much drive on a specific thing. Our drive is to understand and explore, not to accomplish or do. This lack of drive prevents us from climbing up the hierarchy in any field and causes us to get bored/fed up quickly.

Later I might go to the beach and have a swim or have a stroll in the little streets of my neighborhood. I'll meet people I know and be greeted in a friendly way, maybe I'll meet a friend for a fresh orange juice and a chat or I'll ring my parents and talk to them for a couple of hours. I work reduced hours as I'm self employed and hence can spend much time with my children. We get along well, even though both are teenagers now and I love having time to actually listen to them when they decide they need a talk and not to have to squeeze them into my time schedule.

[@wynkoop2000]

As an ENTP I can affirm this. My first “career” was something I fell into. I started on the ground floor and rose through the ranks quickly, but my industry was not known for paying much $. Around age 30, I simply got tired of not making enough money and studied income data to find out where the money was being made! I then changed jobs and started a dramatic rise in my income that hasn’t ended yet (I’m in my late 40s now). During this time my income roughly tripled. Another factor is that I’ve always been willing to take risks and always been willing to try new things. The downside is I’ve been in some companies who’s bubble burst, but those have really only been temporary setbacks. Also, I purposely turned down several promotions because we didn’t want to move our kids while they were in school, so I did intentionally limit my ability to earn more. Point being, I think it’s often about choices and priorities. We each value different things in different ways.

I even enrolled in a state university to get an online graduate diploma in CS (will graduate next year) Once I secure a Data Analyst job, my salary will be at least 1.5x my previous engineering salary, and will continuously grow to 6-figures in at least 5 more years. I'm just earning my Google and IBM Data Analytics Certificate and I'm ready to go. :) I'm proud that I'm doing this strategically now and not just an impulse like my first career.

[@DragonshotProductions]

4:23 I think the reason there’s not much of a difference between sensing and intuition in money making isn’t because there’s not much of a difference in strengths, it’s because they use their strengths in different areas. For example, take INTJ’s vs ESFP’s. Kind of the peek intuitive vs sensor types. An INTJ will see the most optimal way to get something done very efficiently and smoothly, but it might take them a while to figure it out and they could be a little stuck in their head and hesistant to do it. Nonetheless, when it happens, it will be a fast process. An ESFP on the other hand would go straight into getting something done and wouldn’t take any breaks for introspecting, which would make them go faster, but would also make them do the process less efficiently because they aren’t thinking of better and faster ways to get it done rather then just going into it and grinding it till it’s done. That’s also a part of the reason I think EJ’s are very successful; not only are they great with people but they have a good balance of being able to think before they do as well as being able to grind things out. Doesn’t help IP’s though because we have our Je functions last so it doesn’t matter 😒 That’s my INFP two cents, thank you for listening lol 😘

[@attheranch873]

What you said about the ISFP is true. I went to college and had a career, but I can’t stand being on anyone else’s schedule. I don’t even schedule myself. I wasn’t ambitious in the usual sense, because ambition has to do with being in the world and being a part of things. I just did what was INTERESTING to me. I was best at being on vacation without a plan 😎Now I’m retired I can do whatever t I have energy for 😅

[@carissahill3414]

Extraverts also probably ask for a raise more than introverts.... I had to convince my ex INTJ to just tell his boss that he was thinking about getting into a higher paid but really risky unstable venture... "Just tell him and see what he says"... Instantly my ex INTJ was making twice as much. ... with a very stable job with excellent benefits... Simple for an extravert and terrifiying for an introvert. BUt I wonder if you took out the anxiety that introverts feel to just communicate if they would be paid less still.

[@1tubax]

Nope. Communication is extremely important, so you can know where you can improve from the perspective of others, and so you can claim your rights. Doing more work or more efficient work grants you rights for more money, so you need to be able to properly communicate to your boss to convince him why you deserve it.

[@buddetheplatypus]

As an INFP, living in a van is the dream. Never really cared about money or getting rich. I always believed being wealthy was just another reason for someone to try and take advantage of me…and I already get enough of that as it is haha! I dated a guy for 6 years who’s a ENTJ and he makes a respectable six figures plus passive income. I think part of the reason that it didn’t work out was because he was obsessed with getting wealthy and it irked him that I really didn’t care about being rich and was content with my humble earnings. Oh well…maybe I’ll find someone who will gladly live with me in a van down by the river! :)

ENTJ here. I think we just start planning out our education and career much earlier in life than most. I knew the general direction I wanted to go since 13 years old and had a general plan by the time I hit 16. We tend to think in clear objectives and results instead of journeys/paths so we don’t get swayed from whatever it is we’re doing easily. For example, I never took part time jobs that didn’t relate to my chosen field. From the very start I evaluated all my job opportunities by asking myself if that experience could potentially help me get the skills or connections needed for my dream job. We’re goal-oriented basically.

[@lapis-lazurite]

Funny story, I'm INFP and one of my first job interviews had the employer hand me an MBTI test to do on the spot along with another behavourial quiz. Since I was nervous I ended up choosing answers that were more practical and efficient. To nobody's surprise (now) I got ESTJ as my result. The behavourial quiz turned up an error due to clashing answers. Even worse, this was a job where introverted feelers were probably favoured so I didn't make the cut in the end whatever the reason was 😂

Fascinating stuff. I knew INFP would be the last, and that's more than ok. As Morrissey (widely considered to be an INFP) once sang, "I was looking for a job, and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now." And therein lies the problem: we don't want a soul-crushing, shitty job (which most are, sadly) , we want a purpose. I'd hazard a guess that those types at the bottom have a much larger percentage of people working in non-profit and creative fields, which also accounts for the lower earnings.

You got this. Weather I am Infp or infj, or whatever, I am a late bloomer. I just started in my 20's to study "my thing", thinking I belong there. Then, since required a lot of effort ( paying college and working at the same time, abroad) and strength at the time, I quit. Still yearning for it... Then in my 30' s I fall into oblivion, sort depression, sadness, couldn't find the sort of job I am pleased ( and financially) I started working around 40's... So here I am working hard, the pay is there and have finally some sort of independence. All this time I am thinking going abroad and working(for financial reasons and adventure, likes, I don't know...) and definitely will study some of "my things". I' ll see what the future holds for me. It's strange, all my friends and family, worked since high school and I am( and my sister) the only left out from it, and it's not that we weren't told otherwise... What to do?
