My VALS survey result suggests that I am primarily an experiencer
and secondly an innovator. Before taking the survey, I have already taken a
look at the descriptions of all these kinds and I have not expected this
result. But actually it is very interesting because when I read the
descriptions again for the two types that VALS categorizes myself, I feel like
there are some traits showing that I belong to these types. The experiencers are
described to be having most energy in “exercise, sports, outdoor recreation,
and social activities.” As for me, I would like to do some sports or hangout
with my friends rather than staying at home. I admit that I spend a lot on
entertainment such as fashion, games, or traveling. But the trait that
“becoming enthusiastic about new possibilities but are equally quick to cool”
does not apply to myself. I am actually a very rational person and do not
easily get enthusiastic about many things. And if I find something I really
love, I will devote as much time as I can to do this thing. As for the second
type, the innovators are depicted to be “successful, sophisticated, take-charge
people with high self-esteem.” I always want to be a successful person and a
leader but I am actually a kind of simple person with not very sophisticated
background or life experience. Also as a consumer, I prefer products that are
fashionable, not always certainly things that are niche or upscale. But in
general, the results are very interesting to me, and make me think about a lot
of things like how I perceive myself.
