Maximizer vs Satisficer

Scores

1. I often fantasize about living in ways that are quite different from my actual life.

2. No matter how satisfied I am with my job, it's only right for me to be on the lookout for better opportunities.

3. When I am in the car listening to the radio, I often check other stations to see if something better is playing, even if I am relatively satisfied with what I am listening to.

If you have a total of 35 or more you are a maximizer. 50 or more and you are an extreme maximizer.

4. When I watch TV, I channel-surf, even while attempting to watch one program.

5. I often find it difficult to shop for a gift for a friend.

6. When shopping, I have a hard time finding clothing that I really love.
