Trader's Personality Quiz

The quiz is completely free of charge and is totally anonymous.

The following questions are designed to help you assess facets of your personality that are related to the kinds of trading approaches that are likely to work for you. There are no right or wrong answers, and none of the questions are designed to evaluate your emotional stability or mental health. Rather, we are trying to find out your personal style, so that you can match it to your trading style.

Some of questions refer to your trading, if you are not already trading then substitute trading with making a major purchase like buying a house or a new car. Further if you are not already trading then substitute mentions of the market and market action as the negotiation of the price on your new house or car purchase. Each item consists of two statements.
