Sender's Personality 'In the Cards' (http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2999178)
By Alan Jones, Industrial Correspondent, PA News


Extroverts send huge greetings cards to their friends and family while people who buy musical cards are usually “clowns”, according to a new report.

Research among people who buy certain types of card showed they often reflected the sender’s own personality.

The Greeting Card Association identified eight different type of card sender, including:

The artist – usually makes his or own card to display their creativity.

The cheapskate – bulk buys greetings cards, blaming lack of time.

The cutey – buys cut-out cards or those with cartoons on.

The leader – always sends oversized birthday or Christmas cards.

Tim Porte, chairman of the association, which represents greeting card publishers, said: “A lot of people think that they choose a greeting card purely based on who they are buying for. But no-one would buy a card that they hated, even if it was appropriate for the recipient.
Some would argue that the artist and the cheapskate are one in the same.

Personality types will use email differently as well, says business psychologist and executive coach Jasbindar Singh.

People with a "personality preference to introversion" may be more inclined to correspond by email than pop in to chat about an issue.

"Extroverted types get their energy from the outer world and other people and like to interact with others, whereas the more introverted types prefer the internal world and like to reflect on ideas and issues before responding."

Hey don't get on the Chrysler Cordoba. If I had one (1976-79 model, early 80s models are BLECH) with goldenrod/yellow paint, in mint condition, I'd be in heaven.

[rice cracker]

I think the kind of cards I usually give tend to fall into the cutey catagory. But they're cool, not cute.
