BBC Child Of Our Time - The Big Personality Test Episode 2 - Part 3/6

How does your personality shape your life? Can it dictate whether you are in the right job, make or break your relationship, influence your health and even how long you'll live? In this two part special to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Child of our Time, the children and their families explore their personalities, while presenters Robert Winston and Sophie Raworth reveal the results of the BBC's online Big Personality Test, the biggest ever investigation into the personality of the nation.

In this second programme, we find out how understanding your personality can help you make important decisions in life and boost your chance of happiness. We visit a top city law firm and discover the link between personality and earnings, and go to a publisher of glossy magazines to find out how your personality can determine what kind of career you end up in. And we catch up on more of the Child of our Time Children - how are their personality traits influencing their lives?

@rfm2ckt Good points, I generalised and simplified it a bit in my original post.

@Andyp12 I think that probably the most wealthy and the poorest children are worst off with regards to being neurotic... just with different causes. A happy medium is not called that by coincidence...

[rfm2ckt]

@Andyp12 It seems like that should always be the case, but children in the wealthiest families are some of the MOST neurotic. Wealthy parents are often more demanding... Chores and household responsibilities, which are the main gripes of children from less affluent families, are not as stressful as having absentee parents and being raised by nannies, and/or being expected to do well at not only school, but EVERY undertaking... is more stressful than having to take out garbage or do dishes, etc.

Is anyone else as unsurprised as I am that the more well off kid is laid back?

Seriously that doesnt require a deep insight. If you grow up in an affluent household you generally have less responsibilities and therefore less stress.
