Try this "test" just for fun.

I scored a lowly 18. I like adventure but I am not a party animal.

34....

But it's a pretty polarized series of questions.... one extreme or the opposite with no choice in between.... still, acting in my own best interests has never been my strong piont, so there is some accuracy to it...

I wonder how the scores would change if they added the question: "Do you ride your motorcycle with or without a helmet?

got a score of 20.

But Buzz is right, it is a very 'extreme' test, with your only choices being polar opposites. There was a lot of the questions where I would have happily selected both answers as being right, or selected neither because neither choice fit me.

That test really needs to be updated, given that it is 34 years old.

I thought some of the questions should've had a "neither" or "both" option.
Anyway here's mine:

---------------
Thrill and adventure seeking - you score 7 out of 10

Experience seeking - you score 5 out of 10

Disinhibition - you score 1 out of 10

Boredom susceptibility - you score 2 out of 10

Your total sensation seeking score is 15 out of 40

Wow I must be a loser.
