The research points out that the way in which this process is done reveals a lot about the character of each person…
Those who buy last minute gifts
They are not anxious about their choices, they do not consider buying a gift as something particularly important, they have ready excuses for not choosing the right gift, while they consider that even a gift voucher is a good gift and "gets us out of trouble".
Those who arrive at a list too early, check and re-check what they will buy for each
Structured people, with a plan in their life. They work efficiently and productively when they are in the program and may be completely disorganized if the program is circumvented. They need a lot of time however to make their every decision.
Those who buy gifts that are standard, ordinary and without imagination
They insist on reliable solutions and conservative standards, are indifferent to the challenges and the new, do not take risks and are not distinguished for the technocratic management of their program. They are formal and do not want emotional involvement in their social responsibilities. However they do value the gift process, which they do not consider necessary evil.
They are egocentric, they think that since they like a book or a scarf, everyone else should like it too. They believe that they are the center of the planet. Deeply problematic people in their social behavior.
Those who make gifts "with their souls"
Deeply emotional types, indifferent to the cost of gifts, buy only on the basis of their mood, mood and often resort to exaggeration.
