One of the bloggers on the Daily Yoji website (http://thedailyyoji.blogspot.com/) posted a video recently (http://thedailyyoji.blogspot.com/2009/0 … so-yo.html) where he talks about a personality test you can take by combining the following:
1. The first yojijukugo that pops into your head (aside from your favorite one)
2. The yojijukugo that appeals to you the most.
The first one, of course, shouldn't take very much time to decide. However, there may be a lot of people who are undecided about their second one, seeing as these things can be learned on a daily basis and the "favorite" may change. So I think it's ok if you go through a little thinking when it comes to that one. As he says in the video, the meanings of the two yojijukugo that you think of can very easily relate to your personality type.
Here are mine (just a suggestion but, maybe try to do your test first before looking at mine):
1. First one I thought of: 正真正銘 (kinda boring...)
2. Favorite: 意気投合 (but it's pretty much tied with 喜怒哀楽 so I'm not sure which one to pick)
Not really sure what to draw from this... any ideas?
If you take this personality test please do post yours! I'll be interested to see what yojijukugo come up.

一期一会 and 左右対称
I recall reading 一期一会 before (its a good one, thanks for reminding me of it) and I've never heard the second one before. I can't quite put my finger on exactly why, but might this say you are a "matter-of-fact" type person? Perhaps like someone who would have a science-related major? The second one seems a bit more technical compared to most 四字熟語 some might pick.
