Style, art, humor, and character

Style shapes first impressions. Artistic ability signals creativity. Humor makes people more enjoyable to work and live with. Charity and volunteering signal generosity and community involvement.

An addictive personality moves the other way because compulsive behavior can damage health, money, and relationships. Since the ratings are self-reported, confidence is part of the final markup.

Score: style can add up to $190,000, art and humor up to $130,000 each, charity adds $50,000, and an addictive personality subtracts $30,000.
