N = 169. Sex: 1 = male, 2 = female. Edu = highest educational degree. Ten = tenure (years of work experience in the current profession). Pearson correlations between variables and sex, age, and tenure. Spearman's rho correlations between variables and highest educational degree. VIA-IS120 = Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (Littman-Ovadia, 2015). CFT 20-R = Revised Culture Fair Intelligence Test Scale 2 (Weiß, 2006). GMA = General mental ability. MRS-25 = Minimal Redundancy Scales (Ostendorf, 1990).
