A new German study that analyzed the personalities of 1,000 millionaires worldwide gives the answers.

wants to become a Millionaire and we were all tempted to watch it even for a few minutes.

It was not so much the questions that made us get stuck in front of the screen, but all those vague hopes that we build every time about how we will manage to make so much money and, most importantly, what we will do with it.

But the prize of the video game reaches 100,000 euros, so we have to find another way to become millionaires.

But before we roll up our sleeves and start throwing ideas for our next business ventures, it's a good idea to read the data of a new survey that outlines the characteristics of people who have made a lot of money in their lives. What are their common characteristics and what advice should we follow if we want to become like them?
The 5 elements of your personality that can make you a millionaire

The study was conducted by researchers from the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) and the University of Münster, who looked for millionaires from various business sectors and gave them some very rigorous personality tests.

Their purpose was to understand the elements of their character and personality that most often appeared among this closed club of people. Specifically, it is estimated that tests were performed on more than 1,000 millionaires and their results are impressive.

According to the survey, most millionaires have these five common traits in their personality: they are more risk-averse, open, extroverted, conscientious and, at the same time, less neurotic than the general population. However, it turned out that there is a difference between the behavior of those who are born rich and those who succeeded on their own.

In the latter case the characteristics are even more pronounced: the resistance to danger is even greater, as well as extroversion and conscientiousness. The researchers also observed that these characteristics apply to self-made people who achieve their professional goals and live a comfortable life, without necessarily being rich.
Why this research is important

"This is the first study to describe the personalities of millionaires using accurate data," said Mitja Back, a psychology professor at the University of Münster and one of the study's authors.

"Given that rich people have a special influence on the decision-making processes of our society and because the personality of each of us influences the collective thinking and behavior, exploring the characters of millionaires is of great social importance," he concluded, noting that in the near future conduct a similar research on the personalities of the powerful people of the world.
