Does your job fit your personality?

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test, which measures preferences like introversion and extroversion, has been part of business culture for decades. Today about 80% of the Fortune 500 and 89 of Fortune 100 companies use it to analyze the personalities of employees, in an effort to get them in the right roles and help them succeed.

To determine five of the best jobs for every personality, we consulted one of the most popular personality guides, "Do What You Are: Discover the Perfect Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type," which is now in its fifth edition and has sold over a million copies, according to its publisher, Hachette Book Group. The book is not affiliated with CPP, the company that is the exclusive publisher of the MBTI instrument.

We also talked to one of its authors, Paul Tieger. As the CEO of SpeedReading People LLC, Tieger has spent 30 years advising companies and people on how personality types can help teams work together.

While the list below is in no way definitive — and personality preferences can be flexible over time — it may serve as a helpful guide for understanding yourself and what sort of personalities gravitate toward certain jobs.

Figure out which type suits you best, and then check out the chart below.

How does your personality type affect the number of people you manage?

By Skye Gould and Rachel Gillett / Oct 2 2015

Science suggests there’s one personality type that’s more likely to manage larger teams.

A new report from Truity Psychometrics, a provider of online personality and career assessments, shows pronounced differences in managerial responsibility by personality type. Across all personality types, extroverts tended to manage larger teams.

Of all the survey respondents who answered the question, “How many people do you supervise or manage at work,” ENTJs (people with a preference for extroversion, intuition, thinking, and judging) on average managed the largest number — about six — of employees, while ISFPs(people with a preference for introversion, sensing, feeling, and perceiving) tended to manage far smaller teams — with closer to two people on average.

Molly Owens, CEO of Truity and developer of the TypeFinder personality-type assessment, says this isn’t too surprising, since organizations traditionally look for extroverted leaders who are dynamic, outgoing, and able to rally the troops around a cause.

“These personality traits are often valued over introverted personality traits like introspection and being reserved,” Owens explains. “In the workplace, that often — unfortunately — leads to more extroverts being placed in managerial positions.”

Another reason she cites for why extroverts tend to manage more people than is that they’re generally more likely to ask for management responsibilities.

“Many introverts shy away from being in managerial roles, despite being more than qualified. Extroverts, on the other hand, generally feel more comfortable in high-visibility roles and so may express their interest in these positions outright. Because of this, extroverts are often the first employees managers think of when looking for talent to promote,” she says.

All this isn’t to say, necessarily, that extroverts make the best leaders.

While research suggests extroversion is a common trait for the majority of successful leaders, these findings have more to do with predicting the likelihood of someone holding a leadership position than their leadership effectiveness.

In fact, a growing body of research suggests that extroverts and introverts can be equally successful in leadership roles overall, and that introverts, in certain situations, actually makebetter bosses because they tend to be better listeners, more thoughtful, considerate, and more thoroughly prepared.

“What will be especially interesting to see is how or if this trend changes due to the focus many people are putting on the advantages introverted leaders have in the workplace,” Owens says. “In today’s media, there is a big push to beat back traditional stereotypes about introverts and uncover the benefits that introverted traits offer employees in all levels of an organization.”

Will a robot take your job?

11 September 2015

 From the section Technology

About 35% of current jobs in the UK are at high risk of computerisation over the following 20 years, according to a study by researchers at Oxford University and Deloitte.

Sources

'The Future of Employment: How susceptible are jobs to automation'. Data supplied by Michael Osborne and Carl Frey, from Oxford University's Martin School. Figures on UK job numbers and average wages from the Office for National Statistics and Deloitte UK.

Methodology

Oxford University academics Michael Osborne and Carl Frey calculated how susceptible to automation each job is based on nine key skills required to perform it; social perceptiveness, negotiation, persuasion, assisting and caring for others, originality, fine arts, finger dexterity, manual dexterity and the need to work in a cramped work space.

The research was originally carried out using detailed job data from the United States O*NET employment database. The analysis for UK jobs was made by adapting the findings to corresponding occupations in the UK based on Office for National Statistics job classifications. For the purpose of the UK study, some US occupations were merged. In these cases, the probabilities were calculated as weighted averages of the probabilities of automation for each US occupation within the group.

Some job names have been edited for clarity. Where average salary has been mentioned, the median has been used. Figures are not available for occupations in the military, or for politicians.

*Where two jobs have the same figure for their risk of automation but are ranked differently this is because the data goes to more than one decimal place.

Number employed in thousands

What makes a job susceptible to automation?

Certain aspects of a job are simpler to automate than others.

Social workers, nurses, therapists and psychologists are among the least likely occupations to be taken over as assisting and caring for others, which involves empathy, is a crucial part of the job.

Roles requiring employees to think on their feet and come up with creative and original ideas, for example artists, designers or engineers, hold a significant advantage in the face of automation.

Additionally, occupations involving tasks that require a high degree of social intelligence and negotiating skills, like managerial positions, are considerably less at risk from machines according to the study.

In contrast, while certain sales jobs like telemarketers and bank clerks may involve interactive tasks they do not necessarily need a high degree of social intelligence, leaving them exposed to automation.

As more advanced industrial robots gain improved senses and the ability to make more coordinated finger and hand movements to manipulate and assemble objects, they will be able to perform a wider range of increasingly complex manual tasks.

However, manipulation in unstructured environments — like the tasks that must be performed by a house cleaner — are still beyond the scope of automation for the foreseeable future.

Sophisticated algorithms are challenging a number of office and administrative support roles, particularly in legal and financial services.

Machines are already beginning to take on a number of tasks carried out by legal professionals by scanning thousands of documents to assist in pre-trial research.

Where will the jobs of the future come from?

Going through the predictions about the ‘jobs of the future’ from a number of sources, I found some interesting conclusions.

I have made a personal selection from all the ideas –especially from the list of Thomas Frey, which contains 162 items, but the list I use is still representative of the line of thinking of these futurists. Additionally, I put them on a graphic with the timeframe at which these jobs could emerge (my own judgment), the likeliness of these jobs to emerge (my own judgment) and the impact they might have in terms of job creation (my own judgment):

Okay, this is not a scientific study. On the other hand I had no preliminary motive or message when starting this exercise, so it has at least a flavor of neutrality. 

But what are the conclusions?

First conclusion: many futurists put forward jobs that can be categorized as ‘developer jobs’ (in red in the chart). Gamification developers, digital architects, avatar designers and managers, one could argue that these jobs in a way exist already. Or at least they are within the scope of what can easily be imagined for the near future. No need for futurists here…

The second set of jobs has to do with drones (in orange in the chart). Each day I am amazed at what drones are used for (beside military applications). If regulation (and security) permit, we could see a vast array of new, innovative applications for drones. Good thing is that (for now) you’d still need humans to pilot them, so the potential job creation factor is substantial.

The third group of jobs is straightforward as well, and is a direct result of the ageing population. I grouped different names into two: end-of-life therapists and elderly well-being consultants in a way exist already, but no doubt this group will grow in the future (and will see new specializations in them).

Where things start to get both interesting and speculative, is with job that have to do with medical developments (blue and light blue), as well as jobs that result from sustainability and climate change challenges (green). ‘Vertical farmer’ is likely to become a very popular job in tomorrow’s megacities, but what about extinction revivalists? Shall we really start dinosaur farms in the future?

Happy to hear your view in order to refine this chart in the future!

The innovation game

Global innovation rankings

Sep 17th 2015, 12:50 BY L.S. & THE DATA TEAM

WHICH is the world’s most innovative country? Answering this question is the aim of the annual Global Innovation Index and a related report, which were published this morning by Cornell University, INSEAD, a business school, and the World Intellectual Property Organisation. The ranking of 140 countries and economies around the world, which are scored using 79 indicators, is not surprising: Switzerland, Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands and America lead the pack. But the authors also look at their data from other angles, for instance how countries do relative to their economic development and the quality of innovation (measured by indicators such as university rankings). In both cases the results are more remarkable. The chart above shows that in innovation many countries in Africa punch above their economic weight. And the chart below indicates that, even though China is now churning out a lot of patents, it is still way behind America and other rich countries when it comes to innovation quality.

Germany's 'multigeneration houses' could solve two problems for Britain

With the number of over-65s set to double and childcare more expensive than ever, Mehrgenerationenhäuser may be the answer

In Pattensen, a small town of 13,000 just south of Hanover, pensioners play cards to the echoing tick-tock of a grandfather clock. It might be a melancholy scene – if it wasn't for the squeals of delight coming through the open door from the nursery on the next floor.

The nursery and the sitting room are part of a Mehrgenerationenhaus, literally a "multigeneration house", which is a kindergarten, a social centre for the elderly and somewhere young families can drop in for coffee and advice. In theory, the sitting room is reserved for the over-60s, but in the practice the door to the kids' area rarely stays closed for long.

Pensioners volunteer to read books to the children once a week and run a "rent-a-granny" service to relieve exhausted parents. In return, teenagers offer to show elderly people how to use computers and mobile phones. Maria Mantei, 66, and her husband Lothar, 71, who is blind, joined the centre two years ago after the death of their daughter. "We had hit rock-bottom, but we didn't want therapy, we just wanted to be among people again," she said.

Every Monday morning, when people with dementia use the sitting room for games and singing, children join in without being prompted. "Kids are more at ease dealing with dementia patients than adults", said Angela Schulz, one of the care workers leading the sessions, "so we find patients are much more relaxed here than anywhere else".

Britain too may soon start to send its pensioners to nurseries or babies to nursing homes. Last week, a report by the Institute for Public Policy Research urged Britain to adopt the Mehrgenerationenhaus approach to cope with an ageing population.

The number of over-65s in Britain is expected to almost double by 2030, and childcare in Britain is more expensive than almost anywhere in the world. Could both problems be tackled in one swoop?

"Multigenerational houses are a key part of Germany's ageing population plan", said the report, Generation Strain. "In the years ahead, these approaches will not be a 'nice to have' but a necessity, as families will need an extra helping hand to cope with caring responsibilities and pressure grows to contain the rising public costs of health and social care."

"With Sure Start, the last Labour government managed to come up with a widely popular and effective care centre programme", IPPR's senior research fellow, Clare McNeil, said. "The question we are asking is: could we bring care for young families and the elderly under one roof?" Labour's policy review team, led by Jon Cruddas, is said to be interested in the German experiment with multigenerational living.

In Germany, multigenerational houses were established in Lower Saxony in 2003 by Ursula von der Leyen, then family minister of the region, now federal defence minister. When she was promoted to the government, she took her big idea with her: 500 centres across the country were founded and given €40,000 a year each.

Centres are only allowed to spend half of the annual budget on salaries in order to encourage the use of volunteers. "The idea is that the state only gives us the first push", said Annette Köppel, the Pattensen centre's chairperson. In Pattensen, additional funds are raised through charging a nominal fee for workshops and selling food in the canteen, as well as through local charities and sponsorship.

In Angela Merkel's second term, the number of Mehrgenerationenhäuser was reduced to 450, and even though the current government's coalition manifesto promises to expand the scheme, it has yet to clarify how it will support the initiative after the current contracts run out at the end of the year.

Critics say the popular programme is a fig leaf for the state's retreat from the care sector, though the government says intergenerational centres were never intended as a replacement for proper social services, but as an attempt to recreate the kind of social networks that have withered away since it has become rare for generations of the same family to live in the same house or even in the same city.

For Köppel, the incentive for multigenerational houses is not just social but also financial. In Pattensen, efficiency savings are made by the different groups sharing the kitchen, the garden and the caretaker, a retired engineer who volunteered for the job.

But if the big idea behind Germany's multigenerational houses is to see demographic change as an opportunity not as a crisis, one criticism is that they have not actually risen to the size of the challenge: a recent government report predicted that by 2060 every third German would be aged 65 or over.

The next logical step up from multigenerational socialising, Köppel said, would be intergenerational living – bringing nursing homes under the same roofs as nurseries.

Student-style housing blocks for pensioners are increasingly popular in Germany, and some of them, like the Amaryllis centre in Bonn, actively try to keep a balance of young families and the elderly. A recent report suggested co-habitation could reduce the cost of care for the over-50s by 30-50% per head. Yet until now such projects have been largely run as co-operatives, with no serious support from the state.

"Co-habitation projects could be the future for ageing countries in Europe," said Andrea Töllner, who advises local governments on the creation of new housing projects. "But the key is to remind people they can always close their door if they want. They're not going back to student flatshares but separate living units".

The pensioners at Pattensen came to that realisation long ago. Between 2:30 and 5 every Thursday afternoon, the door to the sitting room remains shut so they can play cards in peace.
