I’m a killer
The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
You are 73% Killer
What Bartle says:
♣ Killers get their kicks from imposing themselves on others. This may be "nice", ie. busybody do-gooding, but few people practice such an approach because the rewards (a warm, cosy inner glow, apparently) aren't very substantial. Much more commonly, people attack other players with a view to killing off their personae (hence the name for this style of play). The more massive the distress caused, the greater the killer's joy at having caused it. Normal points-scoring is usually required so as to become powerful enough to begin causing havoc in earnest, and exploration of a kind is necessary to discover new and ingenious ways to kill people. Even socialising is sometimes worthwhile beyond taunting a recent victim, for example in finding out someone's playing habits, or discussing tactics with fellow killers. They're all just means to an end, though; only in the knowledge that a real person, somewhere, is very upset by what you've just done, yet can themselves do nothing about it, is there any true adrenalin-shooting, juicy fun.

I’m a simple person,
atlas in a hand, grapple in the other,
a good set of slingbows for any reason,
coocked prime steaks against the hunger;
hammer, axe, gleam lanterns for every region,
flyng out of an bush or tree you say,
but the cuttletrunks you don’t slay
are the best for a good fly;
I’m not dangerous
I just follow meteorites instead of rainbows
well guess im explorer at 77% ^^
This was pretty accurate.

well guess im explorer at 77% ^^
care to share full results?
looks like i have to re-do it… it was something like
Explorer 77
Achiever 52
that other one was about 30 somethning
killer 17
now how does that total up? thats well above 100%
But then to be fair… some questions were actually different from last night (it seems to be slightly random on what is asked) - eg i was asked at the bottome last night… would you rather A lot of gold? (i think) or aspell which can control other players for xx charges… today it was replaced with 2 exp levels - or an amulate which does 10% player dmg i know its only a bit of fun but…
@Barneylee57: from what I saw it totals to 200% so I would expect the missing number to be 54 if you remember the other three correctly

Yes, I quite approve of this quick synopsis of my Gaming Personality !
In traditional MMO’s, I’m almost always the healer–not because I’m sensitive and I care about other people’s feelings, but because any MMO combat that’s not massed PvP is so depressingly slow and easy that just DPS’ing will bore me to tears. Whatever role has me juggling the most tasks and buttons at once, is the one I gravitate towards. I tend to gravitate toward PvP servers and settings, but I’m conflicted on the matter… While I enjoy a good bit of sport, like the description states on this test, a lot of those “1337 n00bs14y3r” communities on more competitive PvP games really turn me off. You could say I’m a big fan of competition but not so much of competitors.
I usually have been a healer too and if not that then almost always a light armour wearing magic user of some sort. Heavy armour or lack of a meaningful death penalty bores me to tears too as to me there is no thinking involved. Always reminds me of like Call of Duty PvP with people running around as fast as they can go rather than anything close to real life taking time and thought. Thats what happens when it’s too hard to die or like in Call of Duty there is no meaningful death penalty. In case you couldn’t tell, my interest in Call of Duty PvP was found to be zero after the first match. lol
The test I ended up almost totally an Explorer simply because I’m not into social stuff much, had enough real life in the warrior class of life and most of all I think of Boundless as a building and exploring game so had that in mind when taking the test. The hunting in Boundless to me is kind of like Call of Duty in that it doesn’t take a lot of thought (although more than Call of Duty does) and there’s no big penalty to death so it really isn’t a concern. My personality in general made me wish for a “neither” possible answer to half the questions. Like you, I enjoy competition (if it’s challenging and with risk), but, usually can’t stand competitors in games. In real life competitions the good athletes, military skill types, etc. are usually good people. Pixel fighters? Not so much.

It describes my actions on one of the PvP servers (2014-2017) very well
Oh the topic revived.
I shall update the summary when I have a chance, putting new faces to the relevant categories.
