Ethan VAL test results

This test is miles of in most aspects, and somewhat accurate in a few points.

Striver:
1. I am not trendy! In fact I am unfairly biased against anything that is advertised as trendy.
2. Screw the rest of the world, I don't care what it thinks of me.
3. Money defines success? I find that laughable that anyone would consider that.
4. I am not stylish! I pride myself on how I wear the same basic outfit almost every day. Style and trends just piss me off.
5. A lack of skills and focus which prevent me from moving ahead in life? What the hell! Iv been trying to become a video game designer since I was four years old!
6. Aside from shopping for video games and books, shopping is the equivalent of Chinese water torture for me.
7. I am not impulsive in the way I buy things, I made the $900 I made at my last job last me over two years.

Believer:
1. I am motivated by my own ideals and goals.
2. They are not however based on family, religion, and community. (especially not community)
3. I have only one routine: procrastination
4. I am admittedly fairly predictable in my spending habits, I am a loyal slave to Nintendo.

What does valve suggest about:
A) It thinks I'm compulsively spending money in my daily routine as soon as possible.
B) Probably things geared towards my personal use
C) probably around early 20's

15 Appeals in Advertisement.
I think if this test was accurate it would want to appeal to a certain group, the sense of belonging. It would also likely try to appeal to the "hip" and "mainstream" populous, trying to convince them its the next big thing.
