Character orientation is how people relate to the world by acquiring and using things (assimilation) and by relating to self and others (socialization), and they can do so either nonproductively or productively. Erich Fromm is a theorist who came up with five different character orientations: Receptive, Exploitative, Hoarding, Marketing, and Productive.[1][2]
