Was interesting doing this again after a year. I'm still the same type, only small % diff generally but 20% less confident in my decision making which might or might not be a good thing. I was probably a bit over before.

Most interesting though is doing this for/with your partner. Together 26yrs and fascinating finding out who we each think we are. Mostly pretty accurate of course after so many years.

One of the problems I noticed was it's heavily biased towards "recent activities". A change of hobbies would quickly change those results I reckon (i.e. suddenly looking after older relatives/care home apprenticeship probably gets you a "Defender" personality, because you give extra emphasis to the caring bits etc.). Also being aware of what "attributes I know I should have" & biasing them was something I noticed. Personally, I don't see myself as super logical, but trading demands me to be logical

Be good to get your %s Euler.

I'm Executive (ESTJ-a): whatever that means!
Extraverted: 72%
Observant: 88%
Thinking : 65%
Judging: 96%
Assertive: 82%

I've noticed nearly all the good traders on here have a high Intraverted score....maybe that's why I'm crap at pre-race trading!!!

I wouldn't have thought that this would affect how good you are at (the actual process of) trading, rather your preference for the lifestyle that comes with it. I couldn't imagine that extroverts would cope well with a profession that doesn't involve working/interacting with other people very much.
