After taking the VALS Type test I was given results that I expected. I am an innovator and an achiever. This makes a lot of sense to me. As an innovator I live my life to make something of myself. I find it rewarding to achieve! There's nothing better than when I spend hours on a project and it comes out with this amazing grade and I'm sooo proud of the work. Our last comm project was a pretty good example of this. I beamed with pride as I saw the grade. Innovators and achievers both tend to take charge and are very on top of everything. This is me to a tee. I take charge all the time. I am the group leader because I don't wish to not achieve. I find soo much satisfaction in the end product. I am fully motivated by achievements. When life goes wrong I have the motivation to move forward because I know that if I don't I won't achieve.
I didn't really learn anything, but my beliefs were enforced. I have had a lot of soul searching in my life so I've already seen this. As for how the information appeals to the consumer side of me, my consumer choices are also confirmed. I buy things in order to make my life easier. One of my most recent purchases was a kurieg. I enjoy coffee but by the time I finish a full pot, my coffee is too cold and I don't like making cold coffee. The kurieg makes it so that I can have a cup at a time and not worry about the consequences of making coffee and not drinking it. Another product I bought was my notetaker program by Sonocent. I LOVE IT! It makes notetaking soooo much easier. I decided the $150 was worth the ease that came from using the product. I buy things that make my life easier.
The VALS Type test confirmed my beliefs about myself. I am much of a soul seeker so I wasn't told much I didn't already know, but it was confirmed that I had come to the proper conclusion in my soul seeking ways.
