How Aggressive Are You?

An article about the Buss-Perry Aggression test appeared in my Curiosity.com newsletter:

https://curiosity.com/topics/the-buss-perry-aggression-questionnaire-can-tell-you-how-aggressive-you-are-curiosity

The questionnaire: http:// https://psychology-tools.com/test/buss-perry-aggression-questionnaire

My scores were:

Physical aggression: 0.18

Verbal aggression: 0.36

Hostility: 0.50

Anger: 0.22

I’d argue that a certain amount of aggression is needed to grind away at the more onerous tasks involved in writing, such as editing and querying—even if it’s aimed at yourself in a restrained way. Wimps don’t get published!

What are your scores?
