Consumer, aesthetic, dark, cerebral or thrilling: Which kind of media consumer are you?
Are there identifiable dimensions and demographics of media consumption? According to one study, yes, there probably are.
People who fit the “Consumer” dimension are likely to enjoy anything that involves people and relationships:
- daytime chat shows
- romantic films

- cookbooks
The “Aesthetic” dimension enjoy creative and abstract material such as:

I think I’m a little bit of each, well maybe not so much of the dark!
