You are 39 % Hooligan, 3 % Squid, 71 % Cool Headed, and 10 % Newbie

HOOLIGAN: This quality measures one's legitimate ability to ride at a level beyond the capabilities of others.  Focus, confidence, and fearlessness are all positive ingredients that occasionally combine to bring out a reckless yet able rider.  Usually spurred by a desire to prove something to the world, or residual anger lingering beneath a daredevil exterior. Also see: Nicky Hayden

SQUID: Partially coexists with the "HOOLIGAN" and "NEWBIE" qualities.  However, squidliness is not associated with skill and constitutes both overconfidence and riding past one's abilities.  This usually leads to dangerous situations, broken plastic, and high insurance rates for everyone.  It is manifested in the acts of showing off, displays of poor judgment, an ignorant lack of experience, and the Darwin Awards.

COOL HEADEDNESS: May best be described as that "little voice in your head telling you not to do something stupid."  Cool headedness discourages risk taking in favor of patience, continuity, and tranquility.  Sounds like something from a bad yoga video but it's not, because broken bones and missing skin hurt more than watching some bald guy with a beard yak on.  Also see: Takashido Nononake

NEWBIE: The short lived gene that every rider possesses, at one time or another.  Eventually recedes into near nothingness.  Unlike the squid trait, the essentials of motorcycling and safety were not carelessly overlooked, but simply never known to exist.  Newbies can be saved much time and trouble if taught properly the first time.  The MSF class is my personal recommendation and a great start for any budding rider.

As usual, I found myself answering many of those questions on the basis of "Well, of the offered choices, this one is closest..."
