What kind of Gamer are you?
The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
This is ripped from an article on Massively.org, since their write-up is better than anything I could ever do:
“The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology has long been a staple of the MUD and MMORPG community. We’ve ever mentioned it here a couple of times.
The Bartle Test (developed by — you guessed it — Richard Bartle) is a series of questions the answers to which result in the test-taker’s Bartle Quotient. In your Bartle Quotient, you’re told how closely you identify with each of four types of MMO gamer pychologies — Achiever, Explorer, Killer, and Socializer. The final figure is a ranking — from most dominant to least dominant — of those types in your own gaming personality. For example, this blogger is an ESKA.”
Richard Bartle is a pioneer of MMORPGS and a Ph.D, so the test isn’t just another stupid “What 80s action star are you?” quiz. I got KESA, which makes sense; I usually enjoy blowing things up a dicking around in game. I’m not much of an MMO player, but the results describe me pretty well as a gamer.
