Of all the personality types, the Day Trader is by far the most aggressive of them all. Characterized mainly with their ability to look at the facts and make a gut decision, the Day Trader is not afraid to take a gamble if it means a big payoff. Day Traders are extremely focused and motivated individuals and taking risks to them is almost as important as breathing. Additionally, the personality type also displays these features: energetic, intelligent, and good with people and communication. The three main aspects of your personality tested in AMPT: how you interact with your environment, how you handle information, and what motivates you, blend together to achieve the Day Trader outcome.
How you interact with your environment
As a Day Trader, you are always interested in what's happening in your environment. You are an open person and love to talk. You aren't afraid to share your opinions and you always say what's on your mind. When dealing with problems or new projects, you like action and initiative. In your relationships, you like meeting new people and can easily make friends and adapt to a new group. But if you find yourself with an unwanted relationship, you have no problem with separating yourself and breaking ties.
How You Handle Information
Day Traders handle information by looking for systems, structures, or patterns that they can process through logic. Eve rything is subject to rigorous logical analysis in the Day Trader's world. When it comes to making decisions, you base your actions on intellect and whether the action is right or wrong. However, Day Traders can also be cold and unemotional and have trouble discussing their true feelings. You love to talk, but sometimes you hide what's really going on inside. This can also lead to you not clearing up arguments or disagreements.
What Motivates You
The way you interact with your environment carries over to you motivations. Action and taking the initiative in a situation are a big part of your life. When facing a tough decision, you go with the situation and act impulsively. Deadlines mean nothing to Day Traders. You prefer freedom from obligations and the quality and quantity of your work output depends heavily on your mood. You are a curious person and interested in looking at situations in a new and different perspective. You can start several projects at once, but that does not mean they will all be your best work. Because Day Traders are such an intuitive type, doing things without any preparation isn't that uncommon of a situation.
