Unscientific survey - why are you a pilot?

Time-machine that allows me to travel and visit people that I wouldn't be
able to by car.
Never ending learning opportunities.
Self gratification.


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")
No

Are you constantly seeking new challenges?
Yes

(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)?
Thirst for hands on learning. I'd rather be at work or working on something
that I learn from than stuck in any type of classroom.

(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.
Constantly looking up things that I run across.

(subpart - for instructors) Do you enjoy it when your student "gets
it" or has that "aha! moment?"
Yes.

Are you a "control freak" (type-a)?
No

Do you have hints of "delusions of grandeur?" or is it more like "I'm
on top of the world when I fly"
Neither

Yes

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

(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)?
Left when needed, lean towards the right
