Temperaments and Attitudes

I am trying to determine if there are any characteristics that distinguish the experiences of non-astronomers from professional astronomers. This test is supposed to apply to that wonderful stage in your life between conception, and graduation from High School or its equivalent.

If you want to know how other people responded to this survey, have a look at Survey Results as of October 1996 based on the responses of 18 astronomers and 60 non-astronomers. It might amuse you !!!!

If you want to take the test yourself, that's OK too, just don't read the results first, otherwise your answers will be biased by what you have read.
