Not sure if you are familiar with MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). You can take the test here: http://similarminds.com/jung.html
It would be interesting to get some sort of statistics between psychological types and rawfoodism.
My type is INTJ, btw.

I was thinking much the same thing, although the "real" test is far more complex than this abbreviated one and puts things in context more, so I think it is far more accurate. As for a test incorporating how others perceive us, all I know of is Johari's Window, which is basically 4 corners of the window: How I See Me, How I Think Others See Me, How Others See Me, and ? (How I Really Am).
Of course I did all of that a couple of decades ago so there may be something newer now.

I'm an INTJ, with a fairly close split between thinking and feeling. I love personality tests! The enneagram is very fun (and extremely informative), too.
Healers are introspective, cooperative, informative, and attentive. They are highly compassionate and empathetic to the needs of others. Healers care deeply about a few favorite individuals or causes and they desire to bring about peace and integrity to their companions and to the society at large. They want to heal the problems that trouble individuals and correct the conflicts that divide groups in order to bring health to themselves, their companions and to the society.
Healers tend to be private individuals who have a strong sense of right and wrong and an idealistic worldview. They are deeply committed to things that are positive or good and may be inspired to make extraordinary sacrifices in attempts to achieve their ideals. They are prone to errors of fact as they follow their feelings more than they follow logical analysis. However following their feelings also means that Healers seldom make errors of feeling.
Healers are often misunderstood as children. In practical minded families, their devotion to idealism may be frowned upon and may even be punished. Most other role variants can shrug off the parental expectations that don’t fit them, but healers are greatly affected by it. They want to please their parents and their siblings and, in attempt to do this, they may mask or hide their differences. This can create inner turmoil within the Healer. Healers are often better at detecting this inner turmoil than other role variants. Healers seek unity of mind, body and spirit, perhaps because of the inner turmoil caused during their upbringing.
Healers are adaptable, patient with complicated situations, and welcoming of new ideas and information. They are impatient with routine details. As they are aware of people’s feelings, Healers relate well with others. They are also comfortable working alone given their private nature. Healers have an interest in scholarly activities and often have exceptional language skills.
