Ever get frustrated with your toddlers/? Me me me!!! 
I took an ivillage quiz that helped me understand master 5 and miss 2 and why they act the way they do..... I have tried to summarize each personality so you get a quick look but the best thing to do it go to the link I've added and do the test for each or all of your children......
This quiz helps you find out your toddlers temperament or personality type.....

Angel Toddler
The Angel Toddler was "good as gold" when she was a baby. Usually very social, this child is immediately comfortable in groups and can fit into most situations. She often develops language earlier than her peers or at least is clearer when making her needs known. When she wants something she can't have, it's fairly easy to distract her before her emotions escalate. And when she's really out of sorts, it's fairly easy to calm her before she gets to the tantrum stage. At play, she has a lot of staying power at a single task. This is a child who's easy and highly portable. Even when traveling, she can go with the flow and shift gears easily.
You can help maintain your toddler's angelic status and become a more sensitive, confident and loving parent by following the Toddler Whisperer workshop. Featuring Parenting Expert Tracy Hogg, author of Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers (Ballantine Books), this four-lesson workshop will teach you how to cheer your child on toward independence, tune into her nonverbal cues, and help her be all that she can be. Blending common sense and uncanny intuition, Tracy, nicknamed the "baby whisperer," will show you ways to forge an even deeper understanding and connection with your little one. Head to [a href="http://www.parentsoup.com/lessons/whisper/articles/0,12106,425461_431394,00.html"]Lesson One to get started.
