The
categorizations the VALS survey gave me were achiever and experiencer. I
believe my primary VALS type, achiever, accurately describes me. Achievers are
motivated by their desire for achievement and lead goal oriented lifestyles. I
believe this is a good description of my lifestyle as throughout school I have
strived to get good grades, and get leadership positions in activities I am
involved in, and will work as hard as I need to achieve these goals. Also,
achievers are described as valuing consensus, which I agree with, however they
are also described as valuing stability and predictability, which I don’t agree
describes me. Under favorite things, achievers are described as liking
recognition at work and I believe this accurately describes me, however the
other items listed are not items I would consider my favorite things.
For my secondary VALS type,
experiencer, I agree that I seek variety and excitement. This description
contrasts with certain aspects of the achiever VALS type, so I think that the
combination of the different parts of each VALS type describe my outlook. Parts
of the experiencer description that I would not agree with are that they enjoy
the offbeat and risky, however the description that they are impulsive
consumers very accurately describes my outlook. Under favorite things I agree
that I enjoy being entertained.
Although there were certain parts
of each type that I did not agree with, the descriptions of both achiever and
experiencer line up very closely with my overall outlook.
