sorry if this has been shared before, i did a quick search, style is a rather common word though, and i didn't see it anywhere:
http://style.baduk.org/

here is what i got:
Your style is passive

You play Go like a mouse on our banner
Try to attack more! If you want to change your passive playing style, study game records of Yoo Changhyuk, Takemiya, Cho Hunhyun or Miyazawa Goro.
You may also try “Kill-all Go”: Take 17 handicap stones (free placement) and try to kill every group of your opponent.
If you cannot kill them all – make the handicap bigger.

That was cool. From the test I got I have a "flexible " style and I have to agree. The recommendations were study more yose and positional judgement.

Cool

Your style is flexible

Your Go style is flexible: you can play for territory as well as for influence.
Usually you make such decisions according to the whole-board situation or the playing style of your opponent.
You may force him to choose the strategy he hates. For example, if he likes moyos, you can play for influence yourself, just for making him angry.
Your Go style is actually the best one.
You may improve your Go by studying different things, but I suggest paying attention on yose and positional judgment.

For a laugh I decided to redo it since I'm in better form today than when I did it originally:

Quote:
Your style is aggressive

You like to fight, but sometimes it’s better to keep your games simple, especially if you are leading.
If you want to become more rational, pay attention on the game records of these masters: Lee Changho, Kang Dongyun, Ma Xiaochun, Xie He.


An improvement over passive perhaps? I think flexible would be better though.

i don't really have any tips on how to play flexible but i like to think in a certain way.

i am a 1 dan officially since april and in the same month i played a tournament and the mindset was to get a good start as a 1d <--read this as "i WANT to WIN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, I SHOULD NEVER PLAY SOMETHING I DIDNT THINK THROUGH!"

When i play a serious game i see every move as a tsumego, so take a step back, evaluate, think out a strategy, take into consideration what you know about your opponent (DO NOT EVER GO THINK ABOUT RANKS, its style you should think about, every player is beatable), and play moves that are THOUGHT THROUGH. i think i never think about that i need to play a defensive move or i need to play more territorial moves, i think about the flow of the game and where the biggest move is wholeboard, disregarding if its high or low or territorial or influencial, it should be all those things at the same time if possible.


i think flexible style just means you adapt well to what the opponent is doing, so you get an equal (or better) result. I just don't know how reliable this test is:) maybe im flexible in blitz, but not in slow games:P
