A recent study in the US of those who fall into the "early adopter" category, you know those who always have to get the latest and greatest gadgets, are assertive and even arrogant. The study looked at 20 personality traits and the findings point to you early adopters as having strong personalities. Don’t feel bad as it also indicated that gadget lovers are also good leaders even if a tad overbearing. Oh wait, I am a gadget loving early adopter so that means they are calling me an arrogant person. Those research types don’t know what they’re talking about, I am not assertive nor arrogant! Take that back or I’ll come over and prove how much better than you I really am! Just kidding, of course. :)
This is actually a serious study and if you look at their findings it does make sense. Early adopters are often those folks who see something they like so they go and get it and the personality traits that correspond to that behavior are well defined.
