Are you a SATISFIER or a MAXIMIZER?

Yesterday, my cousin and I were out to the mall. She decided to buy a tumbler so we searched all over the housewares section. We couldn't find a cheap one so I told her we try to look on other stores. But as we passed by to the children's section, she saw a pink tumbler labeled "Hello Kitty". She is a fan of Kitty so she said it's okay for her. But I insisted not to buy it because of its low quality and that it is not really necessary for her to buy that item. Suddenly, she told me I am a maximizer. Not a satisfier. (Then I got nosebleed!)


And so I did a research!


According to studies, there are two types of consumers: 
the SATISFIERS, and the MAXIMIZERS.
Satisfiers make slight decisions. They stick to what they want and what makes them happy and contented. Maximizers are very particular. They tend to search for more options before finalizing a decision.


There is always a conflict between these two. Whether satisfiers are more happy than maximizers. I dunno! But for me, practically speaking, I'd prefer to be a maximizer. Unless I'd become a mistress of Bill Gates then I would be the Queen of Satisfiers! LOL! XD

  2. Well, I believe that I am both.. Depends on the item really.. There are instances that I tend to be a satisfier rather than a maximizer and vice versa.
