The VALS survey categorized me primarily as an Experiencer,
and secondarily as an Achiever. I believe both of these apply to me, especially
Experiencer. I have always had an enormous amount of energy and love to exert
it doing things that I love. The website describes an Experiencer as, “motivated
by self-expression. Young, enthusiastic, and impulsive consumers.” The
impulsivity of my personality is certainly reflected by my actions as a
consumer. I am not easily impressed by advertisements or new fashions or
trends, but when I am, I am quick to be someone who owns or knows a lot about
it. The outlet I have for my energy is music. I am a performer. I love to be in
front of people, and I enjoy impressing people with my skill, creativity, and
ambition to try new things. The website also states that an Experiencer likes
to be entertained. As much as I love to entertain others, I equally enjoy
seeing other performers with great musical talent. Achiever also applies to me
because I like to be recognized for what I do. I work hard in various areas of
my life, and I appreciate it when I am affirmed by someone who realizes the work
that I have done. I am surprised that Striver was not one of the characteristics
I applied to. I am certainly trendy, fun loving, and motivated by achievement,
so Striver could have worked well for me. Overall, I consider myself to be an
extrovert. I believe Experiencer, Achiever, and Striver support that claim and
do well at describing who I am as a consumer.
