## How Extroverts careers are matched

- This is the mirror image of our introvert list: occupations the bank does not flag as introvert-friendly on O\*NET work context, meaning the work involves regular contact with other people.
- Those occupations are then ranked by the sum of their O\*NET Social and Enterprising interest scores, the two RIASEC axes that describe helping, teaching, persuading, selling and leading.
- Only occupations with a reported BLS median wage are included, so every row on the list carries real pay data.

No personality instrument predicts job performance or satisfaction on its own, and this ranking makes no claim to. It tells you which occupations involve the kind of work your profile leans towards. The pay, outlook and training data next to each one is what tells you whether it is a realistic move. Full method: https://nuecareer.com/careers/methodology
