Yeah, just a lot of "ow, ow, ow" and stupid jokes when I get hurt. Don't think I've ever been big on crying, though. Not even when I was younger.
I'm usually in category three; my flight reflex is essentially broken, and I register pain with almost no actual associated discomfort. Put simply, I register damage but once it's there it doesn't trouble me.

4) People who only really feel the pain for a few seconds after being injured.
I'd say that's the most correct one. I do believe it's due to a high threshold for pain and I've always recover fast from physical exhaustion and pain.
The only negative thing about having a high treshold for pain is that when you actually feel pain, it kind of hurts like hell.

It depends, really. I took kickboxing and martial arts since I was 12. We used to beat the hell out of each other, and I couldnt get enough of it. External pain, for me, is something that you can kind of switch off in your mind. The only kind of pain I have trouble with is something thats internal, and feels.... odd. Then, its more of a nagging worry, then anything.
But there have been a few occasions where I have banged my head on some metal rack or something running fiber and such where I have snapped. I shattered a phone and broke a chair doing that. However, those few times where I lost my temper (and as a black belt I should know better than to let anger get the better of me) it was during an extremely trying time in my life, so I think it stemmed more from that.

Depends on the type of pain really, I've had broken ribs & a broken hand & while both were uncomfortable they not going to stop me going about my normal day but a kick to the balls cripples me with agony while i struggle to breath which is closely followed by blind rage
Totally depends.
-If i stub my toe or similar pain, it fucking hurts.. ill hop around for a good minute but then it stops.
-I have given myself a smiley before.. (Pretty much branding yourself) But a severe one, my skin melted got the scar after 4+years, i manned that off easily. (Because i was ready for it)
-If somebody hits me, even if it does not hurt around the face i get angry quickly.
In general it hurts and i get over it quick, pain is not the end of the world it goes away.
And yes i will do things that hurt for fun, toaster challenge!!! (See whos hand last longest in a toaster turned on) always play that at parties.

Oddly enough, it seems the greater the pain the less I react.
I will moan like a zombie at the smallest of aches, but when I actually get seriously injured I seem to go into shock or something because I can barely feel it.
When I flipped over my bike, broke one wrist and tore my other arm to shit I limped to the Hospital on foot and patiently waited to be seen.
It's uncanny...

Depends on the pain and the cause. I've never had a significant injury in my life, or at least, anything that required me to go to the hospital/doctor.
If it's minor, I'll usually say "God damn it" or "son of a *****" and move on. If it's minor, but the pain last longer (you know, like when you stub your toe really good or hit your funny bone) I either freeze until the pain has subsided or if someone is talking to me, I tend to snap at them.
If I expect there to be pain or the pain is significant and long lasting and I'm scared at the same time, I sing. Well, more like a whimper/humming thing. I had to have some dental work done recently, and I will admit, I am a total coward. So, I was terrified about having the shots injected, and when she did inject them, I would whimper at first or squeal and then it would turn into this weird song. If the pain got more intense, the pitch would spike. She thought it was rather funny. It's also happened when I have pains that I don't know the cause of. Last summer, all of a sudden my ribs starting hurting. It felt like they were being compressed and it hurt, but I wasn't doing anything at the time nor had a done anything that would cause my ribs to hurt, so the singing/whimpering thing started up again. /shrug.

I have an unreasonably high pain threshold. I went through most of my labor with my son without an epidural. (Not by choice, but it happened.)
Most of the time, it's just something that's there. I try and ignore it.
Toothaches and migraines are the two exceptions to this rule. Both make me cry like a baby.
