Subject: [RT] Testing Profile

know it/you already. I teach a trading courseand I'm attempting to
'profile' those that are, those that aren't, thosethat could be,
those that will never be traders. I'm not stating this
isaccurate. I'm not stating it isn't. Please be honest and not
try to'influence' your answers to being the 'right' answers. Send me your
resultsand a very very brief honest trading history(an eg. would be 1/3/5
yearstrading, no/limited/moderate/ or great monetary success). If
you're notinterested delete away. Thanks, Jim"""The

110. (a) 4 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 5 (e) 6 (f) 1Now add up the total
number of points.OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should
"handle with care".You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is
extremely dominant.Others may admire you, wishing they could be more
like you, but don'talways trust you, hesitating to become too deeply
involved with you.51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting,
highly volatile, ratherimpulsive personality; a natural leader, who's
quick to makedecisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as
bold andadventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who
takeschances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company
becauseof the excitement you radiate.41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see
you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing,practical, and always interesting;
someone who's constantly in the centerof attention, but sufficiently
well-balanced not to let it go to theirhead. They also see you as kind,
considerate, andunderstanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and
help them out.31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious,
careful &practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but
modest.Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone
who'sextremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same
loyalty inreturn. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot
to shakeyour trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long
time toget over it if that trust is ever broken.21 TO 30 POINTS:
Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They seeyou as very
cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'dreally
surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spurof the
moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from everyangle and
then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction iscaused partly
by your careful nature.UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy,
nervous, and indecisive,someone who needs looking after, who always wants
someone else to make thedecisions & who doesn't want to get involved
with anyone or anything.They see you as a worrier whoalways sees
problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring.Only those who
know you well know that you aren't.To
