Default Aptitude Test For Winning Players

Greetings,

I am currently recruiting players to be on a Single Table Tournament poker team of sorts. I am finding it a bit difficult to wade through the various people who would like to take part and am wanting to put together some kind of an aptitude test to give people when they first inquire...this would hopefully gauge thier aptitude in the underlying skill sets and personality characteristics that it takes to be a winning poker player. This is irregardless of results, or even experience.

Some questions that come to mind would be:

Do you often feel broke, even though you have what other people would consider a suitable amount of money to sustain a normal life.

-This question neither has a right nor a wrong answer. It just lets us know that the person could possibly be wreckless with money (a good and a bad thing in poker) or thay they may be a tight-wad with their money (also a good and a bad thing in poker).

----

Do you have now, or have you ever had a problem controlling your drinking, drug use or gambling?

Aside from the obvious problem with honesty-this question would help to put people in one of a couple of categories. Both of these categories (IMO) consist of winning players, but it would be good to know the category...

---------------
As we will likely be administering this test online, it could be GRE like and give people follow-up questions based upon the their answers to previous questions.



So i'd like to toss that out for anybody who may want to collaborate on this or who may want to kick around some sample question idea's.
