More than 500,000 persons have taken this quiz, since it was first posted in 1997. It was developed in conjunction with two graduate students in psychology at the University of Wisconsin. The results will usually give you a rough indication of where you stand on the power freak scale.. If you think your results are inaccurate, try again two to three weeks later. Or, send your comments on the feedback form.

Note: A broader description of the quiz and its results is in the book Power Freaks.

Instructions: Answer each question by selecting a number. Select a 10 if the question asks you about an urge you feel is tremendously strong; a 1 if you don't feel it exists at all; a 5 if you feel so-so, or the appropriate numbers in between. When you are finished, click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the screen and a description of your ranking will pop up. Remember that no one will see your answers. So you can be totally honest, checking your instinctual thoughts and urges as you might feel them when youÕre in the power freak mode.
