Experiencer/Striver

Your primary VALS type is Experiencer, and your secondary type is Striver.

The primary VALS type represents your dominant approach to life. The secondary classification represents a particular emphasis you give to your dominant approach.

Your primary VALS type is Achiever, and your secondary type is Innovator.

Kinda weird though, this is some of what is says about achievers:
Achievers have goal-oriented lifestyles and a deep commitment to career and family. Their social lives reflect this focus and are structured around family, their place of worship, and work. Achievers live conventional lives, are politically conservative, and respect authority and the status quo. They value consensus, predictability, and stability over risk, intimacy, and self-discovery.
Pretty much opposite of how I would consider myself. I am pretty far from politically conservative, can't stand predictability or setting goals. Really the only part I can agree with is valuing family.
I wonder whether this says I don't know myself very well or whether the test is inaccurate. Kind of interesting either way.

Your primary VALS type is Striver, and your secondary type is Experiencer.

I do not believe this to be true:  Money defines success for Strivers, who don't have enough of it to meet their desires.

I could careless about money. I would consider myself to be an experiencer more but i still do not agree with most of the crap in that one either. whatever, marketing stuff like this is stupid.

I agree, the analyses seem too vague, like a horoscope
but I am a striver/experiencer
Strivers are trendy and fun loving. Because they are motivated by achievement, Strivers are concerned about the opinions and approval of others. [no] Money defines success [no] for Strivers, who don't have enough of it to meet their desires. They favor stylish products [no] that emulate the purchases of people with greater material wealth. Many see themselves as having a job rather than a career, and a lack of skills and focus often prevents them from moving ahead. [no?]

Strivers are active consumers[no] because shopping is both a social activity [no] and an opportunity to demonstrate to peers their ability to buy.[no] As consumers, they are as impulsive as their financial circumstance will allow.[vague; probably true for many people]

I think questionnaires like this (personality inventories) are quite difficult to make well.
