A psychographic study "joins consumers’ measurable demographic characteristics with the more abstract aspects of attitudes, opinions and interests". Data mining specialists code demographic, media, purchasing and psychographic data from surveys, throw them together and analyze them until some groups with shared characteristics can be distinguished from all other groups. They can identify those groups most likely to buy specific produts and services by including questions relating to a product about past buying habits or future intentions to purchase. Every king of psychographic study adds the dimension of psychology and/or lifestyles to a demographic inquiry and uses quantitative survey techniques.
