"Point Psychology" profile
Priority Club has an interesting, if somewhat silly, quiz to "analyze your point-earning practice". Once you've taken the quiz, the "Point Psychologist" will tell you what kind of point player you are, and give you advice as to which programs are best for you.
For what it's worth, it says I'm a shepherd ("Miles are your mania. Double and triple miles, miles earned through credit cards -- the Shepherd is a mile junkie...While extremely loyal to a preferred airline, you are one of the least loyal to a specific hotel or rental car company..."). Pretty accurate assessment, for a simple quiz
.
Check it out at http://www.priorityclubpromotion.com/whoareyou/
Edited to correct typos -- why can't I find them before I click submit?

Well, the website verified what many here at Flyertalk have known for ages:
I am a Snob!
You deserve recognition. A room with a view, first class seats -- the Snob is different from the common riff raff traveler
Snob Profile:
You live for luxury and special treatment, a club level room and private check-in. Targeting recognition programs more than loyalty programs, you prefer to earn perks and services rather than points or miles. Opportunistically loyal, you frequent hotel companies with upscale properties and regular delivery of upgrades.
Upon arrival, you expect to be greeted by name and have your individual preferences maintained on file. As a snob you are a status-seeker who well-connected and never misses an opportunity to network.
You want special favors from a hotel or airline because you are an important guest. Although you may check in after a hotel restaurant closes, you expect a sandwich or snack anyway. Similarly, a late flight booking still warrants an aisle seat or upgrade for the snob.

I'm a swinger (won't my wife be surprised) 
- "You understand the value of earning in two different currencies miles for airline tickets, points for free hotel nights and merchandise."

Ha ha -- that was pretty good...
You are a Sherlock!
Youre the true game player. Seeking the best bonus, digging for special offers the Sherlock wants the biggest bang for his buck.
Sherlock Profile:
As a true gamer, you are in constant search of the best bonus promotion. Triumphing with the discovery of each new deal, you are more motivated by the game of earning than the redemption.
Unpredictably loyal, you are a member of every loyalty program. Hotel and airline choice is solely determined by the current field of promotions. A trip without points or miles is a waste of time for you, you feel cheated by the inability to earn.
As a sherlock you are so motivated by earning the best deal, you will return to a hotel where you have had a negative experience if the bonus offer is an incredible one.

I'm a "shepherd."
Kind of odd, since I don't own any sheep.

Snob Tips:
Opt for programs that count points toward Elite status, not just nights or stays. This will help you achieve Gold and Platinum levels faster.
Choose a program with complimentary arrival perks like upgrades and special check-in lines.
Look for guaranteed room availability. Some programs will absolutely guarantee a room to its Platinum members, even if the hotel is sold out. Just make sure you make reservations within 72 hours prior to arrival.
It, however, is wrong. I am not a snob and never, never, ever wear my tiara while traveling. (Well, hardly ever)
