Where do you fit?
Here I am snacking on a cold can of Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli. Safeway had a coupon for buy four for $3.00 so since I hadn't had these since I was a kid (why not [:D]). Gave the coupon and they gave me a coupon for a free "life Water" Sobe drink. Anyhow I get home and check the reciept and they didn't redeem my coupon for my Ravioli. I recon I would use more gas to get the buck and since the drink was about that I came out even. Where I should've came a buck a head.
Which got me thinking. Are you the type of person who comes out ahead, even or behind? I think I'm the type that just breaks even in short of long run.
Also these Overstuffed Ravioli is some tasty stuff [:D]. I don't think they had these when I was a kid. I wonder if they make them in larger cans. This 15 ounces just get me started and they're gone[V].

Based on answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Omnivores typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic.
Omnivores make up 8% of the American public.
Basic Description
Members of this group use their extensive suite of technology tools to do an enormous range of things online, on the go, and with their cell phones. Omnivores are highly engaged with video online and digital content. Between blogging, maintaining their Web pages, remixing digital content, or posting their creations to their websites, they are creative participants in cyberspace.
Defining Characteristics
You might see them watching video on an iPod. They might talk about their video games or their participation in virtual worlds the way their parents talked about their favorite TV episode a generation ago. Much of this chatter will take place via instant messages, texting on a cell phone, or on personal blogs. Omnivores are particularly active in dealing with video content. Most have video or digital cameras, and most have tried watching TV on a non-television device, such as a laptop or a cell phone.
Omnivores embrace all this connectivity, feeling confident in how they manage information and their many devices. This puts information technology at the center of how they express themselves, do their jobs, and connect to their friends.
Who They Are
They are young, ethnically diverse, and mostly male (70%). The median age is 28; just more than half of them are under age 30, versus one in five in the general population. Over half are white (64%) and 11% are black (compared to 12% in the general population). English-speaking Hispanics make up 18% of this group. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many (42% versus the 13% average) of Omnivores are students.0 -
I've never used a computer and only use a hand crank phone. I'm what you would call a "Progressive Amish" without the philosophical restraints of needing to speak without falsehoods. 0 -

The Connected but Hassled make up 10% of the American public.
Basic Description
The Connected but Hassled do not much appreciate the information and communications assets they have acquired - and they have acquired a lot of them. Most (80%) have a home broadband connection and nearly all have a laptop or desktop computer that enable online access. 80% have cell phones. But many of them say they suffer from information overload, and very few find the extra availability ICTs offer to be a good thing.
Defining Characteristics
Information technology is anywhere from a burden to an irrelevance for the Connected but Hassled. Although most have high-speed internet connections at home, few take advantage of applications that benefit from it - such as downloading video, music, or viewing TV shows on a home computer. Just 18% like the fact that ICTs make them more available to others - less than half the average. More than half see technology either making no difference or offering them less control over how they conduct their lives.
Who They Are
The typical member of this group is 46 years old and has been online for about 7 years. She - and 59% of this group is women - is well-educated and above average in terms of household income. The group is predominantly white (80%) and its workforce participation rate matches the national average.0 -
Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Lackluster Veterans typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic.
Lackluster Veterans make up 8% of the American public.
Basic Description
Lackluster Veterans have the necessary gadgets for the information age, such as a broadband connection, cell phone, and a digital camera. But the wealth of information and communication technology possessed by Lackluster Veterans does not translate into particularly high levels of satisfaction about gadgets' impacts on their lives. Although they seem to value internet connectivity, that is less true for cell phones.
Defining Characteristics
Lackluster Veterans do not link ICTs to better personal productivity, their ability to work with others in their community, or keeping up with family and friends. All in all, Lackluster Veterans seem content with surfing the Web or emailing others, but they do not show great inclination to stretch their technology habits to self-expression or mobile media. Very few like the extra-availability that comes with having "always on" broadband access or cell phones.
Who They Are
This group has a median age of 40 and has a lot of online experience, as the typical Lackluster Veteran has been online for about 10 years. Most of them are men - 65% - and they are well educated and comfortably financially. Some 41% are parents of a child under the age of 18.0 -
