"In fact, if you are not an ENTJ and struggling at trading, ask yourself if
trading is the right vocation for you." 

So were all the turtles ENTJ ?

The trouble with any of these psychometric types of evaluation is 
that they try to analyse the complexity of an individual in a few 
10s or 100s of questions.

Also, they only come up with certain averages from their tests - for 
example, on average a successful trader might be a type 'A' 
personality or whatever - but one will often find that the really 
successful people in a lot of vocations defy the standard.
