You've probably seen the personality tests on the internet that align you with a character from a movie, like Lord of the Rings. The characters in Star Wars (the old movies, not the new ones) have such iconic personalities, that they can be matched up to the type of sound tech that you are. Which one sounds like you?
Luke Skywalker: You are eager to learn about sound reinforcement. You have a bit of a naive outlook on how everything is supposed to work together on Sunday morning. Your weak point is you are impulsive and don't do well with failure.
Luke: "Well why don't you outrun them? I thought you said this thing was fast! "
Han Solo: You think you can do anything – and you probably have. You can also make anything work with a few bolts and a pocket-knife. Your shortfall is you are closed minded.
Han: "Watch your mouth kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home. We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose em'!"
Chewbacca The Wookie: You are a hard worker and take directions well. You listen to the worship leader and give him what he wants. Your weakness is you hate equipment and blame it for most problems.
Han: "That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that."
Princess Leia: You are very diplomatic when working with the pastor and the worship leaders. However, when problems arise, instead of helping others work through the problem, you do it yourself.
Leia: "Someone has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, fly boy."
Darth Vader: You order others around – well at least you are good at delegation. You are a leader wherever you are. Your weakness is you are the father of the Worship leader and that causes rifts in your ability to lead effectively.
Vader: "Luke, I am your father."
Obi-Wan: You give others key pieces of information that help them solve important problems. You can lead others through the difficult times such as when the tape deck catches fire mid-service. Your weakness is you stretch the truth so others act as you want.
Obi-Wan: "A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights. He betrayed and murdered your father."
Yoda: Great with sound reinforcement you are. Willing to help others you must. Slow to action, your weakness is.
Yoda: "Nothing more will I teach you today."

I guess I’m somewhere between Han and Obi-Wan with a touch of Wookie here and there.

I think everyone struggles with their inner Wookie.
My husband is Yoda. I am Leia. Our future jedi is in the nursery. Our dog’s name is R2 (literally). We are in the sound booth together. Eventually someone on the worship team will build a Deathstar and blow up the booth.
I thought the booth WAS the Death Star. LOL. Reading your comment was a great way for me start my day. The longer I've been running sound, the more accurate the different personality types seem to be.
I think I have a bit of each of Han, Luke, Leia, AND Chewie. Maybe a bit of Yoda, but not so much Vader and Obi-wan.
