Know Yourself: Quick Questionnaire
Answers marked with a * are required.
 
1. Rate yourself on the following personality attributes. All submissions are anonymous.

Don’t think about your best or worst moments. Your answers should reflect how you see yourself as a trader on an average day. 

If you have never traded before, that’s fine. Most people have a pretty good idea of their likely strengths and weaknesses even before they start trading, so just fill out how you see yourself, or how you think you will act as a trader. 

Scale goes from 1 (the attribute on the left describes me best) to 10 (the attribute on the right describes me best).
