What kind of gamer are you?

[James G]

This short quiz tries to define exactly what type of gamer you are, and in many ways is similar to the Bartle types which have been arround for a while. Certainly, for me I think it pretty much got it head on, although it isn't exactly hugely complicated. However, I was interested in what sorts of gamers we had here on snopes?

Your BrainHex Class is Mastermind.

Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Mastermind-Seeker.

You like solving puzzles and devising strategies as well as finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things.

Each BrainHex Class also has an Exception, which describes what you dislike about playing games. Your Exceptions are:

» No Fear: You do not enjoy feeling afraid, preferring to feel safe or in control.

Your scores for each of the classes in this test were as follows:

Mastermind: 19
Seeker: 17
Achiever: 12
Conqueror: 9
Daredevil: 6
Socialiser: 4
Survivor: -2

I might swap seeker and mastermind around in mine, as many of the points in achiever and daredevil were based on my desire to explore. Given the lower end of my stats, it is probably unsurprising that I am not a huge fan of Left 4 Dead.

Bah! A true Mastermind-Seeker would use Google, clearly you are an inferior player type. (I jest, I jest. )

That is pretty much right on. I found the analysis of self-selected Hard core/casual gamers on the main page interesting. It seems that Jenn and I are part of one of the more rare combinations, Illuminatus is in the most common category, and everyone else is in one near the top. And now, I must try the game Animal Crossing - the rest seems so correct I think I may enjoy that one.

Interesting. I'm not sure about the No Mercy thing though, though since I barely have any experience with multiplayer games, I really wouldn't know.

Am I the first primary-socialiser? I guess it's because lately I've been playing a lot of two-player games with my husband and other games with our friends.

That sounds OK to me. The only problem with the assessment is that there was no real room for things like my Virtual Petsite of Choice, in which I have a play style far more similar to the Socialiser, but which doesn't exactly match the pattern of what most people would consider "video games".

Actually caring about others feelings is probably very much why I don't like online or cooperative/versus games, and thus voted negatively on all the social aspects.
