What Type of Shopper Am I?

Behavioural psychology shows that spending is often driven not by rational thought but by unconscious habits, from soothing stress with new possessions to wanting to fit in with friends. This test will identify your natural behaviour in shops and online. You will learn which inner impulses most often empty your wallet and receive practical advice for regaining control of your spending. The test takes about 5 minutes.
