Result

Any kind of person who is particular about price only choose price comparison website.

All kinds of people are particular about design and choose the portal, community site and price comparison site.

A sensual person shows a dual character in choosing product.

: Technology->brand homepage. : Design->community website An introvert is sissy on design and chooses price

comparison website. An extrovert and rational are sissy about design

and choose community website.

Implication

We suggest the following :- develop the product blog page and link it along

with price comparison website to brand homepage- blog page caters the needs of customers who are

for design which has maximum weightage.- cooperate with some company, like yahoo, google,

to get more information about customer ,like age, job, MSN, favorites, and then identify the customers by introvert, extrovert, rational, and sensual and send our products they may like.
