Ok, I know we've done this before, but it's been awhile and maybe some of us have improved... or our egos have gotten bigger.
This is straight from Barry Greenstein's site.
1-10 Scale (relative to decent amateurs, not Pros)
Aggressiveness: Measure of style: how often the player takes the betting lead.
Looseness: Measure of style: correlates to percentage of hands played.
Short-handed:
Limit:
No-limit:
Tournaments:
Side (Cash) games:
Steam control: A high number indicates better self-control when losing.
Best game:
Weakness:
Me:
Aggressiveness: 8. I usually take the lead in betting/raising when I'm in a pot.
Looseness: 4 in Limit, but probably about 7 in No Limit.
Short-handed: 6, but only in No Limit... I suck at short-handed limit (3).
Limit: 7
No-limit: 6, but I think I'm really improving.
Tournaments: 5
Cash games: 6
Steam control: 5. Again, trying to get better.
Best game: I'd say limit Hold'em, but against bad players, I'd say I can hold my own in any game, especially Stud and its variations.
Weakness: I'm my own worst enemy at the table. When I'm winning I get too chatty, when I take a bad beat I go in the tank, and when I make what's a bad play in my mind, I start beating myself up and usually end up playing worse. Also, since I'm an action-junkie, I chronically play above my bankroll, but I'm hoping not to do that again.
*EDIT* Side Games = Cash games... I'll just change that.

1-10 Scale
Aggressiveness: Limit 8, NL 9
Looseness: Limit 9, NL 7
Short-handed: (This about skill?) Limit 7, NL 4
Limit: 7
No-limit: 8
Tournaments: 3
Side games: mmm... Can play some decent O8 or Stud8, i guess. 5.
Steam control: 7. I don't go up in stakes but I sometimes play a bit too long while tired, etc.
Best game: I want to say SH FL but there's no chance at that being right. Results say 10 handed NL. Oh god. I'm one of thoooose.
Weakness: Besides the obvious answer of none, I'd say hastiness. I can usually figure things out, but occasionally don't take the time to.

Aggressiveness: Probably a 7 or a 8. I'm always aggressive and often too aggressive. But it can depend, sometimes I enjoy just sitting back, relaxing and being a rock.
Looseness: 7-8 probably in NL (but rockier in full ring), probably 3 in FL (yep, FL rock). Still, even in NL it changes alot with my mood.
Shorthanded: 7. I'm a good player in shorthanded games.
Limit: 5. I'm a 'by the book' FL player, nothing outstanding.
Tournaments: 5. I'm not usually a good tournament player. Mediocre maybe. Tournament chips are just playchips until you cash anyway.
Cash Games: 5. I can hold my own in most cash games I play in, but I don't know enough about popular non-hold'em games.
Steam Control: 9. I was horrible at it, now I'm at zenlike levels of patience.
Best game: Shorthanded NL games.
Weakness: Overaggression. Loose preflop standards in NL. When in a gambling mood I tend to take pot odds with a grain of solt and rely on implied odds instead. Leaving soft games because I get bored. Not dedicating myself enough to simply play the game.

Aggressiveness: 7.5 in MTT's 4.5 in cash games
Looseness: NLHE-3 I'm a veritable rock, but it depends on my opponents. 7Stud-5 Omaha8-5
Short-handed: 8 I usually do really well short-handed in tourneys. I don't play many short-handed cash games so I can't really judge that.
Limit: 1 I don't play limit for a reason.
No-limit: Online-5 Live-7
Tournaments: STT's-3 MTT's-6
Side (Cash) games: 8
Steam control: 7 Unless I'm losing to the hubby. For some reason losing to him sets me off on major tilt.
Best game: Live NLHE 10-handed cash games. I'm very patient and have a scary reading ability.
Weakness:
Being too passive in STT tournaments instead of amassing a nice chip stack like I seem to be able to do in MTT's.
Giving some opponents too much credit while discreting others that I know are horrible players. They may be horrible, but they still catch hands now and again.
Second-guessing my reads (live) when they're right 90% of the time.

 It's a good thing I'm the only one in the office right now or they'd be sending out for the straight jacket and reserving my padded room.
And to answer your question, no, I do not have noisy hips.

At least Hellmuth can back it up...
By the way, I'm fairly sure Aves was serious, but I stand to be corrected.

Kind of guy who goes all-in pre-flop with 72o VS AA and when he wins says something like..."I had you beat all the way"?
