Many years ago, while playing NannyMUD, I did a personality test (I cannot remember which one, but something like this one) and it turned out that I was a combination of achiever and killer. Thus I like gathering points and inflict damage. Translating this to EVE? I love having tons of killboard points!
In order to do that you need to come up with brand new ideas and way of using the items EVE offers. Doesn't matter if it is a new fit or a tweak of an existent one, you still have to test it.
There are a couple of ways of doing this. Some prefer doing it on Sisi. Others ask a friend for a duel. I just head to the nearest lowsec and start roaming. The problem is that I usually run into ganks that know what they are doing. So, not much testing on my side - beside the automatic pod eject on hull implosion mechanism of my ship.
A couple of days ago, I went to pay a visit to the Concord office from Barleguet. 200++ in local. I took my RLML Caracal for a spin. After a few encounters with BNI, I realized I found the Holy Grail of EVE testing. Its like doing a level 4 mission but instead of mission rats, you have BNI pilots.
They either try to gank you (in numers larger than 20) and you can test the speed of the ship, the falloff, etc. Just align to a celestial/ss and let them come to you. Pop a few, warp off, tweak the fit and come back (by the way the market in Barleguet is fairly decent - you can find almost anything to refit your ship). You can also find the occasional solo ship (or this one) in the belt and you can test other features of your ship like agility, tracking, tank, etc.
Of course you wont be the only big fish in the pond. But that's life :)
