What Your TV Says About You

There is no shortage of analysis placed on home furnishings and how much you can tell about a person from the way their home looks. Although this may apply most specifically to wallpaper, paint jobs and soft furnishings, there is little doubt that if someone were to try and get the measure of you from a look around your home, the television would also form a part in their thinking. In case you are wondering what they would deduce from this, there are some helpful pointers to bear in mind.

If you have a big screen television and it is mounted on your wall, it is fair to assume that people will consider you to be someone who is only too happy to show off what they have got – and perhaps expect compliments for it. If it is mounted simply on a TV table, they are more likely to think that you like TV and are prepared to spend money if you are getting quality in return. You are pragmatic enough to realize that a big TV can provide a greater viewing experience for your dollar, and grounded enough not to view it as a trophy.

If you have a TV that was made, or appears to have been made, before 2000, people will assume that you are a functional individual who likes television but is not about to fix what is not broken. If your TV is broken, then they will think either that you have higher things on your mind or limited control over your life. And if you have no TV, then they will probably assume you are a nut, even though you’re probably saner than they are.
