I can't really compare my strength to a FIDE or USCF rating right now, but I am probably still a beginner. I think of my style as aggressive, as 1)almost all of my games involve me leading an attack on my opponent, and 2)I have basically no sense of strategy whatsoever. I do know that I am a very impatient player, often unwilling to prepare my attacks or consolidate my position before attacking. I just get the feeling that it will give my opponent too much time to refute my attack. This usually ends up in either my attack fizzling out and leaving me helpless, or my opponent leading a better prepared and more dangerous attack that I am unable to defend. Another not very smart part of my playing is that when I'm considering two moves, one giving a small, clear advantage and the other with greater possibilities but also incalculable (for me) risk, I usually choose the latter. Guess what happens?
