Everett Rogers divides people into personality traits in order to describe them. Keep in mind people may have a combination of these traits or they may display some traits at times and others at times.

Innovators (2.5%) – These are the first individuals to adopt an innovation or new technology. Innovators are willing to take risks, very social and have closer contact with other innovators.

Laggards (16%) – These individuals approach an innovation with a high degree of skepticism and after the majority of society has adopted the new technology. Laggards typically tend to be focused on “traditions”.
