Thanks again for incisive advice. I got a two. The commute is 50 feet and the goals of video production/marketing strategy are always clear and challenging. But the lack of collaborators and the inability to control workload have burned me out… I need to join a team and I'll soon be driving across the country to Seattle and a new set of circumstances. These findings suggest I should be brave and burn my bridges to self-employment.

I work for a small management consulting firm (tiny, like 15 people), I work from home most of the time, and yet I STILL have no control over my life.
My conclusion is that no matter who "freelancing" you are, if you are a consultant you do whatever that makes the client happy – therefore you basically have no control over your life because nobody is begging you for money, it's the other way around.
And in this economy even freelancers face intense competition, so nobody can afford to be flexible with their schedules.
Sad, but true.

Wait a minute. I'm self-employed. I don't have employees — although I do have subcontractors. Does this mean I lose 40% or does it mean I should only hire good friends as subs? Or can I have points for having other self-employed friends who can meet for coffee when everyone else is at work?

OK, I really like my job. I'm in the 4-6 range on this test. Somehow I knew this. It's the solid stuff that counts–a couple of great colleagues, having some freedom in your schedule, not having to drive for a hour to get to your desk. The rest of the grey stuff– clueless leadership, turn-of-the-century policies and procedures, pockets of dead wood staff…those don't keep the show from going on. And shouldn't keep a solid resume from being built for the next big step.
