There are all sorts of personality measurement scales and tests. I also believe that there are technology types and sometimes I like to just observe and see where a person is on the scale below:
Top
- Bleeding edge: Willing to try anything, not fearful of failing
- Cutting edge: Sees opportunities in new ideas and is willing to use products that have been developed
- Early adopters: They try technologies out, and if the shoe fits they wear it
- Main Stream: Once it appears that others are using it successfully maybe I'll try it
- Convince me: I hear what you are saying, but are you sure they are not all just lemmings?
- No not me: Not going to try anything that looks to make my life more complicated
- Hell no, not me: I'm too close to retirement. This looks like work. I just want my paycheck and my weekends off
