The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
You are 73% Explorer
What Bartle says:

:spades: Explorers delight in having the game expose its internal machinations to them. They try progressively esoteric actions in wild, out-of-the-way places, looking for interesting features (ie. bugs) and figuring out how things work. Scoring points may be necessary to enter some next phase of exploration, but it’s tedious, and anyone with half a brain can do it. Killing is quicker, and might be a constructive exercise in its own right, but it causes too much hassle in the long run if the deceased return to seek retribution. Socialising can be informative as a source of new ideas to try out, but most of what people say is irrelevant or old hat. The real fun comes only from discovery, and making the most complete set of maps in existence.

You are 80% Achiever
What Bartle says:

:diamonds: Achievers regard points-gathering and rising in levels as their main goal, and all is ultimately subserviant to this. Exploration is necessary only to find new sources of treasure, or improved ways of wringing points from it. Socialising is a relaxing method of discovering what other players know about the business of accumulating points, that their knowledge can be applied to the task of gaining riches. Killing is only necessary to eliminate rivals or people who get in the way, or to gain vast amounts of points (if points are awarded for killing other players).

Its a personality assessment, not specific to any game, but to the types of actions you would or would not take, or would prioritize over others.

And yeah, theres a lot more info that could be added since 1996, and I’m sure a few Google searches would turn some up. But, do you really think human psychology has changed that drastically in 20 years? Games, maybe, the reasons why we play them and how we play in them? My guess would be not so much a change as we might think.

Well I would love to take credit but @Stormsoul is the one that shared all this info with me. I just posted because I was scared if it exploded in the original thread we would attract the wrath of the mods.

It appears there’s a slight bias in the player base here :stuck_out_tongue:

Perhaps the developers should pay more attention to rewarding exploration and make it a true occupation as explorers/cartographers?
