The primary VALS
type I was given was an “Experiencer”, with my secondary being “Striver”. I can
honestly say that when looking at the possible results before hand, I would
have labeled myself as an experiencer. Within that VALS type, it is described
that we are “enthusiastic about new possibilities, but are equally quick to
cool”. We like outdoor and social activities, and love being entertained. These
characteristics really do align with my life.
I am constantly
seeking out new opportunities and events to take part in. When I get a new job,
or start a new program, I am usually pretty excited about the opportunities
they present. I can however say that once I am settled into something, I am
looking towards the future for the next activity. I do not like the idea of
restricting myself to the same routine/job for too long. Granted one might say
you need to do so to gain stronger expertise, but I believe that skills can
carry over to different fields easily.
This survey is
freaky in the sense that I actually do have a subscription to Rolling Stone and
enjoy the company Redbull—it is very impressive how spot on it is. I also do spend
a lot of my income on social activities and food. I do think that a lot of
these characteristics are in a college student’s nature. We are all very
social, and we want to be up to date on current trends, as well as stay active. We are
experiencing a pretty fast and sporadic lifestyle right now, and I am frankly happy to
be labeled an experiencer.
