AHEM
ANYWAYS:
In this thread we are (now) discussing reverse engineering of psychographic scorecard to "find your tribe" / our exploration of psychographic segmentation systems like:
ESRI Tapestry
VALS (Values and Lifestyles) by SRI
PRIZM (by Claritas) — the third one you were trying to recall
These systems group Americans not just by demographics, but by lifestyle, attitudes, consumption patterns, and values. Our goal is to reverse-engineer this framework to place you in a psychographic segment — and then match that to towns in places like rural southern Oregon (e.g., Roseburg, Klamath Falls) or semi-remote Western/Southwestern Colorado.
Etc!
Expanded Psychographic Segments for the Rural Rebooter Archetype
Below are deeper, more robust profiles for the eight custom psychographic segments, originally devised as clusters of Americans with overlapping values, lifestyle patterns, and reset-seeking attitudes. These personas are neither idealized nor stereotyped — they are textured, lived-in composites designed to help you recognize kindred spirits or cultural microclimates.
