The Blackout Spender, who wakes up to mysterious packages and forgotten receipts. The Comfort Shopper, whose spending follows their emotional state. The Retail Therapist, who shops to cope with stress, sadness and celebration. The Bargain Hunter, who never pays full price and chases the deal itself. And the Status Seeker, whose purchases signal who they aspire to be. Each archetype comes with its own triggers, strengths and blind spots.
Yes, the quiz is free and runs right here in the browser. You do not need the impause app to take it. At the end you enter an email address to unlock your personalised reading and science-backed insights for your archetype.
No. The quiz is a behavioural-design tool grounded in behavioural finance and consumer psychology research, not a medical or clinical instrument. It is meant to make your spending patterns visible so you can act on them, and it works best alongside professional support if you are dealing with compulsive buying.
Your archetype is the personalisation layer for the rest of impause. A Retail Therapist and a Bargain Hunter need different interventions, so the app tailors its Pause flow, Spending Challenges and psychology lessons to the pattern behind your spending rather than just the totals.
