"People often have stereotypes about the personality traits typical of different jobs, and it turns out that many of these intuitions are quite accurate," Dr René Mõttus of the University of Edinburgh wrote in the study."
"Those in sales, managerial positions, and public relations were revealed to be more extroverted, fitting with interpersonal the needs of their jobs."
"Even so, salespeople, managers, and real estate agents can also be disagreeable, given the nature of their job which often involves conflict or confrontational interactions with others."
"On the other hand, those in creative fields tend to be more curious and open to new experiences. They're also more likely to be higher in neuroticism, as the sectors with the most neurotic people include journalism and acting."
