I have been looking for some psychological tests to assess qualities of profitable or potentially with more training, traders.
On a hunch.. I think mental age is very important.
Every seriously profitable trader I know seems not to match their real age.
I have a feeling a younger mind that is "old" and an older "young" may be a strong indication of ability and potential. Of course the exceptions to this are really interesting also. Perhaps there is a point where your actual age and mental age begin to flip. Although anecdotal, I suspect many people knowing me at 26-29 would have said I was mentally older, maybe 40?
So I looked around and found a few tests, this one seems simple but having tested myself, my GF and another it seems fairly close to what we imagine/others have agreed fair.

Anyone care to take the test or discuss?
Not put this in the psychology thread as I dislike trading psychology (some core stuff ok but it goes on and on...) :) and I want some privacy (not google indexed here).
