Tukuul | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 12:58 pm  Experiencer/Achiever Your primary VALS type is Experiencer, and your secondary type is Achiever. The primary VALS type represents your dominant approach to life. The secondary classification represents a particular emphasis you give to your dominant approach. |

Cinnamongirl | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 01:11 pm  Striver/Fulfilled ......hmmmmmmm |
Max | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 01:24 pm  Your primary VALS type is Actualizer, and your secondary type is Achiever. Actualizers Actualizers are successful, sophisticated, active, "take-charge" people with high self-esteem and abundant resources. They are interested in growth and seek to develop, explore, and express themselves in a variety of ways--sometimes guided by principle, and sometimes by a desire to have an effect, to make a change. Image is important to Actualizers, not as evidence of status or power but as an expression of their taste, independence, and character. Actualizers are among the established and emerging leaders in business and government, yet they continue to seek challenges. They have a wide range of interests, are concerned with social issues, and are open to change. Their lives are characterized by richness and diversity. Their possessions and recreation reflect a cultivated taste for the finer things in life. Achievers Achievers are successful career and work-oriented people who like to, and generally do, feel in control of their lives. They value consensus, predictability, and stability over risk, intimacy and self-discovery. They are deeply committed to work and family. Work provides them with a sense of duty, material rewards, and prestige. Their social lives reflect this focus and are structured around family, church, and career. Achievers live conventional lives, are politically conservative, and respect authority and the status quo. Image is important to them; they favor established, prestige products and services that demonstrate success to their peers.  |

Flint | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 02:24 pm  I am a Fulfilled Actualizer. (Whatever) Fulfilleds Fulfilleds are mature, satisfied, comfortable, reflective people who value order, knowledge, and responsibility. Most are well educated and in (or recently retired from) professional occupations. They are well-informed about world and national events and are alert to opportunities to broaden their knowledge. Content with their career, families, and station in life, their leisure activities tend to center around the home. Fulfilleds have a moderate respect for the status quo institutions of authority and social decorum, but are open-minded to new ideas and social change. Fulfilleds tend to base their decisions on firmly held principles and consequently appear calm and self-assured. While their incomes allow them many choices, Fulfilleds are conservative, practical consumers; they look for durability, functionality and value in the products they buy. Actualizers Actualizers are successful, sophisticated, active, "take-charge" people with high self-esteem and abundant resources. They are interested in growth and seek to develop, explore, and express themselves in a variety of ways--sometimes guided by principle, and sometimes by a desire to have an effect, to make a change.

Their possessions and recreation reflect a cultivated taste for the finer things in life. Interesting, I suppose. Now how do I use it to make money and get women???? |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 02:27 pm  Are we do for a FlintFest? |

Azriel | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:05 pm  How depressing It sucks to be me! I'm a Striver/Experiencer |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:10 pm  do=due in my above post |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:19 pm  Az, why does that result suck? |
Azriel | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:21 pm  Go read the definition of a striver, Lance. Not a pretty picture. The experiencer isn't much better. |
Flint | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:22 pm  Ya never know about a FlintFest, although they are best spontaneous. ;) There isn't anyone in clubchat right now though. |
Azriel | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:27 pm  Strivers Strivers seek motivation, self-definition, and approval from the world around them. They are striving to find a secure place in life. Unsure of themselves and low on economic, social and psychological resources, Strivers are concerned about the opinions and approval of others. Money defines success for Strivers, who don't have enough of it, and often feel that life has given them a raw deal. Strivers are impulsive and easily bored. Many of them seek to be stylish. They emulate those who own more impressive possessions, but what they wish to obtain is often beyond their reach. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:29 pm  Az, looks like a case of the test not being right concerning you? Do you see any of the descriptions as the way you are?? |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:32 pm  AZ... you are a Mover and a Shaker! How's that? |
Azriel | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:34 pm  Lance, that's probably why it upsets me so much. It hits too close to home  |
Max | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:37 pm  Az, Knowledge is power! Strive towards another category that you like better.  |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:47 pm  Az, your place in file doesn't define the person you are. Situations don't define the person--how you handle the situation does. I believe that puts you at a much better place than you seem to realize or believe. |
