Someone recently designed a short text adventure that determines what
your "IF personality" is based on four playing styles.  It does this
by giving you four puzzles, each having four solutions.  Each
solution, as you would expect, corresponds with each playing style.
You can get it here:

(you need a TADS interpreter, I suggest
http://www.tads.org/t3dl/pksetup.exe if you use Windows)

Here are my results:

Ending Information: (shows how many puzzles you chose to solve
according to each sect’s teachings)
Seer: 2
Warrior: 0
Alchemist: 0
Artisan: 2

(Seer goes around the problem, Warrior solves the problem using brute
force, Alchemist changes the problem into something easier to solve,
Artisan solves the problem by direct logic)

I would expect that most novices to IF will get the Warrior sect,
while most experts will get the Artisan sect (as the Artisan-style
solution is the type of solution most often implemented in text
adventures).  Anyway, if anyone cares, I got the Seer solution on the
opening puzzle and the rotating rooms puzzle, and Artisan on the other
two.
