專門研究不同消費(fèi)者性格特征的“思維”媒體公司發(fā)現(xiàn)，一年買三雙以上運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋的人具有現(xiàn)代領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者品質(zhì)的紀(jì)律要高出61%。

These qualities were defined as having ideas and vision, and a style with others that is both inclusive and decisive.

“思維”媒體公司的女發(fā)言人勞倫?阿芙尼奧說愛買運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋的人在毫無頭緒的情況下，更傾向于自己摸索行事。

“It is often said you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes he wears, and now we have some hard data to back that up,” Arvonio told reporters.

“What’s interesting is that these personality traits held true across the board, regardless of age, income, or gender.”
