Love this, from Engadget:
Apparently Mindset Media did a personality profile of 7,500 Applesluts at Macworld and found that Apple users “are more liberal, less modest, and more assured of their own superiority than the population at large.”
They didn’t say if they’d found a causal relationship.
It seems Apple-love correlates to high openness, low dogmatism, low modesty, and high superiority.
Okay, I get the shameless and open-minded part, but I was a little disturbed by the superiority thing until I read their description:
You are an extraordinary person and are comfortable proclaiming your accomplishments from the mountaintops.
I had a fortune cookie the other night that said the same thing.
They also said people like us “seek rich, varied and novel experiences, believing that imagination and intellectual curiosity contribute to a life well lived. They are receptive to their own inner feelings and may feel both happiness and unhappiness more intensely than others.”
Kind of sounds like the Applesluts’ credo, don’t it?
