Am I actually suited to scalp trade, or should I slow down to a longer timeframe?
Answer Honestly
Think about your actual schedule and reactions, not the trader you'd like to be.

How this is calculated
Each answer is worth 0 to 3 points. Lower-scoring answers reflect traits that tend to hold up under scalping's pace, higher-scoring answers reflect traits that tend to fit a slower timeframe better.
This is a self-check on fit, not a judgment of scalping itself. Scalping is a legitimate style for traders whose schedule, temperament, and execution setup support it.
A high score doesn't mean you can't trade, it means the specific demands of very short-hold trading, constant focus, fast decisions, and a high trade count, may not match your current situation as well as a longer timeframe would.
This is different from the Risk-Per-Trade Personality Quiz, which is about how much of your account to risk per trade. This quiz is about the timeframe and pace you trade on.
