This was my first time taking this survey. I found the combination of questions very interesting- the fact that a few were about religion was surprising.

My results came back as primary: Striver and secondary: Thinker

Striver-

High revolving employment- definitely not true- I have been at the same job for 12 years

Use video games as a form of fantasy- I dont play video games- never have

Fun loving- I would agree

Are imitative- I dont really agree- I tend to do my own thing

Rely on public transportation- not true

Are the center of low-status street culture- Not sure what that means

Desire to better their lives but have difficulty in realizing their desire- I don’t really agree

Wear their wealth- don’t agree- I am not flashy

Thinkers

Have “ought and “should benchmark for social conduct- I agree

Have a tendency toward analysis paralysis- maybe, but I am self-aware and push myself to act (one of my personality styles is driver- I like results and action)

Plan, research, and consider before acting- I would agree

Enjoy historical perspective- Yes, but only has a piece- past ways of doing things are not always the way

Financially established- I am financially responsible

Are not influenced by whats hot- Usually because what is hot cost too much

Use technology in functional ways- I agree, I am not the first one to use or purchase new tech stuff. I will use it when it improves a task

Val oh Val had me summed up all wrong. I took the survey and it had me come back primarily as a Believer and secondary as a Thinker. I would have to say that when I looked at some of the members of the group, it was totally opposite in most instances to who I am. I think they put a hodge podge of information into each category to identify with one characteristic you may have to justify the analysis.

For instance, as far as a Believer, VAL had me as a rigid snob that wears my skirt down to the floor and tote a bible. LOL I am a Christian, but I leave the judging to GOD

Then as a Thinker it said I plan research and consider before I act. I have too, I am a business owner. However, it then stated that I have analysis paralysis. Well if I analysis my way into straight paralysis it is no way I would have jumped into entrepreneurship. LOL Another thing, I am nowhere near financially established, I laughed at this loudly. I am a new business owner. Go figure.
