Money personality

Your deeper relationship with money — the beliefs that drive how you handle it, from the researched 'money scripts' framework.

The Klontz Money Script Inventory (Klontz, Britt, Mentzer & Klontz, 2011) is a validated measure of money beliefs — money avoidance, money worship, money status and money vigilance. A reflective self-ID, not a diagnosis. (Klontz Money Scripts)
