The suited psychographic

Aspirers- Seek status, materialistic, acquisitive, orientated to image and appearance, persona and fashion.  Typically younger people.

Succeeders- Seek control.  Strong goals, confidence, work ethic and organisation.  Typically higher management and professionals.

Resigned- Seeks survival.  Rigid and authoritarian values.  Interested in past and tradition.  Typically older persons.

Explorers- Seeks discovery.  Energy, individualism and experience.  Values difference and adventure. Typically a younger demographic(students).

Strugglers- Seeks escape. Alienated and disorganised.  Few resources beyond physical skills.  Buys alcohol, junk food, lottery tickets.  Typically lower demographics.

Reformers-  Seeks enlightenment.  Freedom of restrictions and personal growth.  Social awareness and independent judgement.  Anti-materialistic but aware of good taste.

Although i would prefer to say that i do not fit into any category because i dislike being labelled.  I would say that i fit mostly into the reformer category, although i do have certain characteristics from other categories.  Due to the fact that i hate restrictions, i have more of an independent judgement and i am anti-materialistic.
