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

No

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

Definitely no.

Are you constantly seeking new challenges?

Not really.

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

I wouldn't think I get bored that easily.

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

I like learning.

(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.

Always. To me, learning to fly is something that has a definite
start but doesn't finish.

(subpart - for instructors) Do you enjoy it when your student "gets
it" or has that "aha! moment?"
Are you a "control freak" (type-a)?

I do have control freak tendencies, but I don't consider myself one.

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

Sometimes the latter.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Introvert, except in the company of other pilots it seems. :-)

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

My house is littered with Aviation material while my fiction gathers
dust on the shelf.

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

Yes. My instructors noted this early in my training.

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

Definitely left brained.
