RESULTS:

You definitely don't possess-to-impress! It's clear that you don't abide by the "he who dies with the most toys wins" philosophy. Your focus is not on keeping up with the latest trends or on wowing people with your possessions. Far from it. You seem to stick with the bare-bones minimum. No need for excess, right? You might occasionally splurge on a fancy outfit or a new miracle skin-care product. But you don't make a pattern of indulging yourself with material goods. You probably frown on people who buy designer brands just to show off the label or drive a convertible to insinuate they're rolling in cash. It's easy to get caught up in this "check me out" society, but you've avoided that path. Keep in mind, though, that splurging isn't always a bad thing. If you've got the urge and the funds, it's fun to let loose every now and then. Your spending style is motivated by your values, so it's safe to assume you won't get carried away. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back. You're a rare and admirable breed!

More like a breed without much money and who wouldn't look good in designer clothes anyway. The only reason I answered "Probably not" to buying a designer knockoff is because I wouldn't even waste money on the real thing. I'd rather buy books. :P

Do they have an equivalent test for guys? Hm.
