What Type of Gamer are You?

   Gamer has become such a ubiquitous title for anyone who plays games, but with the vast amount of styles there is to games today, the title many of us have held near and dear to use for years just doesn't do proper justice.  It's been broken up a bit into such sub-categories as Hardcore Gamer, Casual, Social, Competitive, Mobile, etc.  So when I stumbled upon this survey by Quantic Foundry, I was intrigued.

   They developed a Myers-Briggs style survey which actually breaks down what areas you are interested in and strongest in as a gamer.  They break it down into six areas:

• Action: "Gamers with high Action scores are aggressive and like to jump in the fray and be surrounded by dramatic visuals and effects"
• Mastery: "Gamers with high Mastery scores like challenging gaming experiences with strategic depth and complexity."
• Achievement: "Gamers with high Achievement scores are driven to accrue power, rare items, and collectibles, even if this means grinding for a while."
• Social: "Gamers with high Social scores enjoy interacting with other players, often regardless of whether they are collaborating or competing with them."
• Immersion: "Gamers with high Immersion scores want games with interesting narratives, characters, and settings so they can be deeply immersed in the alternate worlds created by games."
• Creativity: "Gamers with high Creativity scores are constantly experimenting with their game worlds and tailoring them with their own designs and customizations."

These are my results, and they are spot on!

   You can see the chart above as to how the results are shown.  Those are my results actually, and they fit me to a T (where does that saying come from anyway?).  You can take the survey here, make sure to post in the comments your results!

And as always, stay safe goblins.
