VALS

Innovator/Experiencer

1) I agree with my personal assessment of experiencer because I enjoy variety and trying new things. Apparently I'm a leader so innovator fits my personality. My image is an expression of my taste not an expression of power or status. I enjoy nice, sophisticated things and I consider myself to be pretty cultured.

2) I think that almost everyone in the class that took the VALS survey achieved the result of experiencer, because of our age range we have a wider disposable income. Since we have more money to spend we enjoy a wide variety of nice things and seem to only settle for the newest trends and technology. Experiencers spend the majority of their incomes on fashion, entertainment and social events.

3) Experiencers enjoy social situations and statuses so based on the fifteen appeals experiencers have the need for affiliation, a need to fit in. Since innovators are leaders and business orientated the best fit appeal would be the need to achieve.

  1. I agree Megan you are very "sophisticated" haha. The desire to be the best looking or trendiest is something the young generation values. I respect the fact that your image is and expression of your taste and not an expression of power or status. If you yourself are an Innovator and Leader then I don't think the need to fit in appeals to you. People would attach themselves to what you do and try to relate with that. Leaders and Innovators set trends, not follow them.
