Do you have a "family history" of aviation/piloting?

Yes. Father in the 40's (farmed after he got out of the service),
uncle operated a small pseudo-FBO in MI.

Are you an adventure seeker (anything from "true" adrenaline junkee to
"every day is different and brings a new challenge")

Yes. But now I'm married with children, so the challenges are a little
less adrenaline-generating. IT SUCKS.

Are you constantly seeking new challenges?

Yes. But see above.

(subpart) Do you find that you get bored easily?

Yes.

Do you have a "thirst for knowledge" (e.g. would you rather be in
school than working)?

Yes, but I've learned a helluva lot more "working" than I ever did in
"school".

(subpart) Do you find yourself constantly seeking out new things
about flying regularly or do you only look it up when you run across
something you don't know.

Not current, right now flying isn't an option.

Are you a "control freak" (type-a)?

No way. But I can tend to be a CFR/FAR freak.

Do you have hints of "delusions of grandeur?" or is it more like "I'm
on top of the world when I fly"

Neither. It's better than the best roller coaster I ever rode (and I
get to "drive"!!)

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Got me. Depends on the situation.

If given the choice, would you rather read fiction or an aviation
oriented book?

Fiction. I spend every day at the airport in real life.

(For those that use the radio) Do you find that you have always had
good communication skills?

Yes.

Are you left brained or right brained (logic-and-math or Artsy
fartsy)?

Both. FWIW, am ambidextrous also.

Or am I missing something soooo obvious that I'll die of embarassment
when it's pointed out to me? Or even worse, is there no measurable
psychological correlation to flying and I'm just out to lunch
(wouldn't be the first time g)

I am a licensed technician and primarily learned to fly to aid my
communications skills/gain empathy to the customers' (i.e. pilots)
viewpoint/perspective.
