Take some time for introspection. Thinking deeply, write a description of the characteristics [core beliefs, psychographics (activities, interest, and opinions)], etc. that define your actual self. What products, and what specific brands have you bought in certain product categories that reflect your actual self? Do the same thing as you did in question two, except do this for your ideal and possible selves. Since as a student you may not have the financial resources to have already bought many of these products, don’t place any emphasis on whether or not you can currently afford these products and brands; what would you buy, if you could, to reflect these aspirational selves.
