Eiryl raised an interesting point in the update thread, and I agree most FFXI posters here are probably Achievers, but let's find out shall we?

Here's mine:

The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
You are 67% Achiever
What Bartle says:

♦ 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).
You are also:

60% Explorer
53% Socializer
20% Killer

Damn all you achievers!

DAMN Dodik a KILLERRRRRRRRRR

you are 73% killer

you are also:
53% explorer
53% achiever
20% socialiser

welp. that checks out

You are 73% Socialiser
What Bartle says:

♥ Socialisers are interested in people, and what they have to say. The game is merely a backdrop, a common ground where things happen to players. Inter-player relationships are important: empathising with people, sympathising, joking, entertaining, listening; even merely observing people play can be rewarding - seeing them grow as individuals, maturing over time. Some exploration may be necessary so as to understand what everyone else is talking about, and points-scoring could be required to gain access to neat communicative spells available only to higher levels (as well as to obtain a certain status in the community). Killing, however, is something only ever to be excused if it's a futile, impulsive act of revenge, perpetrated upon someone who has caused intolerable pain to a dear friend. The only ultimately fulfilling thing is not how to rise levels or kill hapless drips; it's getting to know people, to understand them, and to form beautiful, lasting relationships.

87% explorer and i still disagree with RA on the topic of the datamining.

Too many of those questions don't have any answer that I can even relate to.

Example:


I want another healer or someone else who has raise because I die a lot.

Many of the questions are "neither"

They're very obvious, too. Would you rather kill stuff or explore... Gee if that's not on the *** nose.

Literally every question is do you self identify as A or E. Do you self identify as E or S. Do you self identify as S or K.

Only an outside perspective can identify you accurately.

Methinks Brimstone is a kindred spirit

The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology

You are 100% Explorer

What Bartle says:

♠ 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.

This test is missing things, for instance, the first question was something like “ kill something or talk to people”, it needs a third option of somthing like “research strategies for future battles”.

If I’m honest, I probably enjoy the preparations for battles more than the battles, in some games I’ll farm and grind for months to have the perfect setup for some battle and the fact that I could have face rolled w/e boss it was right away is irrelevant.

yeah there is also this one, but be warned I think it wants you to make an account to show you your results. I didn't bother.

I guess so we must've answered 1 question differently (maybe 2?) haha.
