Got a passion for buying sneakers? It could be a good sign, with a poll finding that people who buy three pairs of sneakers or more a year are far more likely to be a leadership type than other people.
Mindset Media, a media company that examines personality traits of different consumers, found that people who buy more than three pairs of sneakers a year are 61 percent more likely to have the qualities of a modern leader.
These qualities were defined as having ideas and vision, and a style with others that is both inclusive and decisive.
The survey of 7,500 people found multi-sneaker buyers were 50 percent more likely to be very assertive and 47 percent more likely to be spontaneous.
Lauren Arvonio, a spokeswoman for Mindset Media, said sneaker buyers were more likely to fly by the seat of their pants（查看詞語故事）.
"It is often said you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes they wear, and now we have some hard data to back that up," Arvonio told reporters.
"What is interesting is that these personality traits held true across the board, regardless of age, income, or gender."
Previous Mindset Media surveys found that people who pay their credit card bills off each month were more likely to be "highly deliberate," thinking through their actions, but also less modest than others, likely to brag about their habits.
Hybrid car owners were found to be 78 percent more likely to be highly creative than other people and less dogmatic.

總愛買運動鞋？這可能是個好“兆頭”，因為一項民意調查發(fā)現，一年買三雙或三雙以上運動鞋的人具有領導潛質的可能性要大得多。
專門研究不同消費者性格特征的“思維”媒體公司發(fā)現，一年買三雙以上運動鞋的人具有現代領導者品質的幾率要高出61%。
所謂“現代領導者品質”指的是遠見卓識、能夠包容他人，并且行事堅決果斷。
該項對7500人開展的調查發(fā)現，一年購買多雙運動鞋的人很有主見的幾率比其他人高出50%，性格直率的幾率高出47%。
“思維”媒體公司的女發(fā)言人勞倫?阿芙尼奧說，愛買運動鞋的人在毫無頭緒的情況下，更傾向于自己想辦法解決問題。
阿芙尼奧在接受記者的采訪時說：“人們常說，穿鞋能反映一個人的性格，現在我們有了可以支持這一說法的確鑿數據。”
“有意思的是，這些性格特征與年齡、收入和性別等因素無關，在全世界都如此。”
“思維”媒體公司之前的調查發(fā)現，每月還清信用卡帳單的人更加“從容謹慎”，凡事考慮周全，但同時他們不夠謙遜，愛炫耀。
調查發(fā)現，擁有混合動力車的人不愛遵循教條，他們擁有非凡創(chuàng)造力的幾率比其他人高78%。
