<The fellow who gave me the test is writing a book on the psychological profiles of traders> Fascinating. Will you get a return for your efforts..? Maybe some feed back...! I've seen there are a number of psychiatrists who have published work on the psyche of traders. Apparently the unconscious plays itself out in trading and many get knocked out by some underlying psychological pressure. I looked at one book called "The Way of the Warrior-Trader" by Richard McCall which was interesting. But I have a problem with equating any kind of trading to War. It has nothing to do with war or struggle. Just the opposite.
