what's your gaming personality?

[jmschallock]

Hey guys, I am a PhD student in psychology at the University of Cambridge, and I’m doing a study on the types of games we play, and how our gaming styles vary.



I wrote a survey that asks questions about your gaming preferences, personality, and stress level, and then gives you some feedback on your personality type and what type of gamer you are. Have fun and contributed to science by completing the survey here:




You already had a thread on this, linked below, which we allowed. Don't push your luck.

You are a casual Eclectic Gamer!

You aren't limited to just one style or genre, but are equally at home in games of strategy, action, problem solving, and exploring!

Wrong, I'm not equally home in those kinds of games except exploring. I dislike strategy, action is iffy and am very picky about most genre's. Some problem solving games get very boring to me quickly with a few exceptions like Portal.

It's a bit flawed as far as being related to your psychology. The type of gamer you can be dependent on many other factors in your life such as how much time you have to yourself. How many of the games you favor are actually available at any given time...etc
That's the problem I have, the games I enjoy the most only number in the few per year at best, work and family life among other things take away time.

If I had no job, no wife..etc. I would probably be a much different type of gamer able to sit in enough with other genre's to find enjoyment.

You are a troll gamer
Your sole purpose in gaming is to bother others and make their experience as awful as possible. You are the dredge of the gaming society.

I take exception to this, I am not a troll gamer, I prefer the term mentally unbalanced gamer. D)

If I burn, I get a bit too laid back to play battlefield but I try. If I don't burn I mostly wish I did and play battlefield. When I don't play battlefield I scroll through the scores of games in my Steam catalog and the end up watching zip popping on youtube.

Most of what I just told you is bs cause I burned.
