Volgens de ‘Internet Typology Test’ ben ik een ‘omnivoor’ als het gaat over mijn ‘digitaal leven’. Verrassend vind ik deze uitslag niet echt… Wat zijn jullie?
Based on your 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.
Psychologische testjes op het internet zijn altijd leuk. Gisterenavond heb ik mijn ‘Personal DNA’ berekend. Na een uitgebreide test waarvan het invullen al gauw een klein half uurtje duurde kwam ik te weten dat ik een ‘benevolent director’ ben met de volgende kenmerken…
About me I am a Director
As a DIRECTOR, I combine an unusual openness and passion for beauty and style with confidence and a down-to-earth sensibility that allow me to realize my vision.
I’m practical and I pay attention to the details that others tend to miss.
By focusing on what is real and concrete, I achieve more than those who always have their heads in the clouds.
When it comes to what really matters in my life, I’m confident in my ability to succeed.
Having beautiful things in my life gives me pleasure and satisfaction - I have a keen eye for style.
Even when problems present themselves, deep down I know I will overcome these challenges.
When routines get too familiar, I become bored and start looking for ways to spice things up.
I’m open to new types of experiences - I’m not afraid to take a risk on something new.
I have a highly developed sense of taste - I know what looks good on me, in my home, and in the world at large.
I’m not afraid to let my emotions guide me, and I am generally considerate of others’ feelings as well.
How I relate to others I am benevolent
I’m a great person to interact with - understanding, giving, and trusting - in a word, BENEVOLENT
I don’t mind being in social situations, as I feel comfortable enough with people to be myself.
My caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: I take the time to understand the nuances of people’s situations before passing any sort of judgment.
I’m a good listener, and even better at offering advice.
I’m concerned with others at both an individual and societal level - I sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and I can care about people I’ve never met.
Considering many different perspectives is something at which I excel, and I appreciate that quality in others.
Other people’s feelings are important to me, and i’m good at mediating disputes.
Because of my understanding and patience, I tend to bring out the best in people.
Zo, nu ken je me helemaal… mocht het allemaal waar zijn natuurlijk..,
Helaas ben ik zelf niet helemaal akkoord.
Voor zij die mij kennen? Herkennen jullie me in bovenstaande?
