A few months ago I solicited volunteers from the DX
community who had participated in DXpeditions. I was
trying to determine the personality profile of people
who were successful on dxpeditions to remote and
uninhabited locations. I am now including additional
results from that study. I sent some general results
about a month ago to the reflectors.
I was overwhelmed by the interest and participation
from the hams on these reflectors. I would like to
thank all those who participated, both for taking time
to complete the survey, and for the great service they
have done for the dx community.
The results are attached as a Microsoft Word file.
There were five main personality traits-and each trait
had 6 facets which comprised that trait. The
following results cover these facets, and how
dxpedition hams scored on them relative to the general
population.
I would be intersted in any feedback about these
results.
