What's Your Financial Personality?

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Myers-Briggs Company and Marcus by Goldman Sachs, which offers products and tools designed to help people achieve financial well-being, have co-created a Financial Personality Quiz to help uncover how your financial personality could affect your money management ideas and behaviors.

"Knowing about financial personality type helps you understand strengths and could help you recognize potential blind spots about how you manage your money," says Rich Thompson, Sr. Director of Research at The Myers-Briggs Company.

From everyday spending to retirement planning and goal setting, everyone manages their finances differently.

"In collaborating with The Myers-Briggs Company, we're further supporting our mission to help consumers take control of their financial lives. We're helping them to better understand their financial habits and discover new strategies and tools best suited to their personality," says Sonali Divilek, Head of Product at Marcus by Goldman Sachs.

The co-created quiz from The Myers-Briggs Company and Marcus by Goldman Sachs describes four different financial personality types, summarized below:

Confident Money Manager
As the name suggests, you are assured in your financial capabilities and you're a long-term thinker and planner (especially when it comes to your money). You are more likely to not only create a financial plan, but also keep up with it over time.

Short-term Strategist
You're a careful planner that takes a vested interest in your finances, but you may have challenges delving into detailed planning or long-term goals. You may create budgets and plans that are broad in nature, leaving the details to be filled in later, but that doesn't stop you from being confident in your financial abilities. 

Value-Based Planner
You tend to make financial decisions based on what's important to you, viewing money as a tool to help the people and causes you care about versus solely accruing personal wealth.

Laid-Back Balancer
You likely aren't that focused on making financial plans and instead let your heart take the lead. You generally find long-term financial considerations less important than other aspects of your life and instead view your money in terms of the application – how it can be used and who it can be used for.
