You seem to be in the middle between the Type A and Type B personality. In this case, the middle ground is good. Your attitude to life is more of the "smell the roses" kind and you know how and when to relax. Nonetheless, you realize that picking up a challenge and competing a little bit for your place in the sun can add some spice to your life. The equilibrium is important, so don't let your hostile, aggressive, and competitive alter ego take over too often. Generally, you are easy to be around, and people tend to feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence. Yours is a very healthy attitude towards life.

pretty much got it!

funny, the link didn't take me to the hot asian chick test... 



47 on the type A thing, though... and I'm rather certain I am a beta-male, so it makes sense...

I see noone's ever read chistopher moore here...

wait. I assumed you folk knew how to read things other than teh interwebz 

his analogy is something like this:

when the alpha-males run off to bring down the wooly mammoth, the beta-male stays back and comforts the women, ensuring his genes will pass to the next generation when not all the alphas return.

it's the 'nice guy' thing.

hahaha.  yup...in the living room with the loud guys yelling at the football game on the television, or in the kitchen with the drunk women learning what they like....

only, it still hasn't paid off yet...

the smart alpha sends all the other sub-alpha's in the pack off to hunt, and the beta's out to gather.
and he stays home and comforts the women....

I'm a 44, which received the same "middle ground" "balanced" response as others have posted. 

While I try to remain balanced overall, what happens is that I sometimes swing from Type A to Type B.

Type A: when in traffic.  Gawd people, drive decisively!  Do you not know where you want to go?!?  Get there already!

Type B: at work, when someone sets a rediculous schedule that none of the experienced engineers believes can be met.  My attitude at that point is: it gets done when it gets done.

Otherwise I try to maintain a balanced life overview.  I have a "plan" for where I'd like to go.  Dunno how long it'll take me to get there, dunno what unplanned things God may have in store along the way, but until He directs otherwise, I have a direction to move in, and that's where I'm going. 

Oh, and I don't think those who ranked in the middle necessarily qualify as beta-males.  I am very much an alpha, thought at first glace the laid-back approach may seem "beta".  The last GF thought she was dealing with a beta... some surprise when it finally dawned on her that in matters of worldview and leadership I am a strong-willed alpha, I just try not to be a prick about it.

I used to be pretty strongly type A - a perfectionist who got really stressed out by any wrinkles.  Eventually I learned to accept a little mediocrity in my life in order to appreciate the living.  So here I am in a doctoral program (high achievers) but I'm the slacker of the bunch cause I don't work evenings or weekends unless it's absolutely necessary.  Means the degree takes me a little longer but I get to have hobbies and social life while I'm here.  I think there are way too many incompetent people around me and bad drivers make me nuts, but it's an amused kind of amazement at the level of stupidity rather than something that raises my blood pressure.
