Money Magazine has me pegged!

When it comes to my financial personality profile, Money Magazine refers to me as a "Guardian." That is someone who tends to be cautious with their money. The article also describes three other personality profiles.

According to the article: "If you understand your temperament, you can better manage financial risk and plan your goals...and perhaps become more successful in other walks of life as well."

Key traits for guardians include:

- Place greater importance on financial security than on getting rich.

- Disciplined and patient.

- Enjoy organizing and planning ahead.

- Tend to investigate investments thoroughly before committing.

- Caution is likely to rule your portfolio.

- Often prefer fixed income investments to relatively volatile equities.

They've got me pegged! What personality profile are you? Click here to take the test.
