The Naive conjecture saying that $G$ is conjugate to a subgroup of the orthogonal group $O(m)$ is known to be false for higher dimension. In this paper we give a partial answer by considering the action of the group $S = S(K_1) \times ... \times S(K_q)$ on $\mathbb R^m = K_1 \oplus ... \oplus K_q$, where $K_i = \mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$ and $S(K_i) = \{x \!\in\! K_i : |x| = 1\}$ for $1\! \leq\! i \!\leq\! q$, and we show that $G$ is contained in $S$ if and only if every element of $G$ centralizes~$S$.
