I'm just glad I passed

I'm in a marketing class now as part of this MBA program I'm taking. One of the first activities we did was to take a personality survey to see what type of consumers/people we are.

I was impressed with the result not so much for its accuracy but for the simple fact that I didn't fail the test. So apparently, much to the surprise of many, I do have some shred of personality.

Anyhow, this test identified my primary personality type as an Achiever. Here's the description:

Motivated by the desire for achievement, 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.

With many wants and needs, Achievers are active in the consumer marketplace. Image is important to Achievers; they favor established, prestige products and services that demonstrate success to their peers. Because of their busy lives, they are often interested in a variety of time-saving devices.

So what do you think? Does that sound like me?

Don't know about the time-saving devices. After all, you have time to blog! The rest sounds pretty correct. But "politically conservative"? Really?
