How you approach driving can indicate your personality type, according to the Cambridge Strategy Centre, which analyses consumers according to psychoanalytic types. The world can be divided, it says, into “instrumentalists” and “expressives”, both of which have emotional connections with their cars. But, while the instrumentalist sees the car as a sentient almost living entity that they must try to control, the expressive sees it as a rational piece of machinery they must adapt to their needs. Which one are you? INSTRUMENTALISTS -Often have names for their cars. -Tolerate failings or idiosyncracies in cars. -Subconsciously believe that cars respond in an emotional rather than a rational way. -Are affectionate about a car’s failings, but can be frightened that they are not in control of the technology. -Tend to prefer cars that cater for different needs at the same time; for example, sporty saloons. EXPRESSIVES -See cars as a tool to explore their competence. -Drive at high speed when the opportunity presents. -Regard journeys as a test of man and machine. -Prize being able to corner with precision. -Only want the controls that are necessary – but like to customise. -Prefer one type of car for one job: a sports car or a saloon.
