I'm awesome.

Funny thing is, I don't care at all about achievements or leaderboards. I only care about beating the direct competition, but couldn't care less about my overall e-peen score.

I got a few questions in, realised I was saying "None of the above, but I guess if I have to pick one..." to all of them, then stopped.

If it's bright, colorful, and happy, you want to play it. And maybe give it a hug.

I DO like colorful happy games but i don't think that defines me as a gamer.

I like more of a mix. I love exploring more than anything ever, but i'm also in a lot of games for the story/characters and i like playing games with my friends when it isn't competitive.

This is what I got as well. Yes I do like to explore and enjoy the game world, but my real interest is the story, characters, etc. *shrug*

How about, I have been playing games for almost 30 years, and I see no problem with playing a game that's 'cute and cuddly', as long as it's fun and enjoyable. It seems to me that the result depended entirely on that one question of which character I most relate to. What were my choices? A list of gruff and empty, masculine archetypes, or 'Mario, et. al.'.
agreed

Same but with Pony Lover. I'm all about the narrative
Heh, I think it's broken :p
Considering 2 of those questions should outright block the explorer option for me. (One being "whats the most important part of the game for you" - and I said story)
Perhaps we can call in the professionals - those French guys who profiled Vader!

Gotta say, I think the quiz might be a little off...

The sad part is that it's mostly true; I like to play as many games as possible, but I really do have a bad habit of not finishing them.

That said, I was kinda hoping for explorer. Personally, I like games that have a great world that I can just run around and explore, like Fallout 3 and (most) Final Fantasy games.

Also, I didn't like the question about thich racer franchise I liked. I'm generally not a huge fan of racers, but I absolutely love Wipeout and Burnout, so I was a little disappointed that I was forced to choose Mario Kart instead.

Got explorer which actually suits me pretty well.
I would go for the story but the exploring keeps calling so I actually rarely finish a sandbox game...

I got the 'Jack of All Games'. Which I guess is true I can be a boss at most games although I tend to master the ones I particularly enjoy.

Jack of all Games

Fairly accurate... I sort of have game ADD and play just about any type as long as there's something interesting to it. I'm huge on a compelling story/characters but appreciate good mechanics/environments. I guess there's just nothing that has the best of all genres which leaves me hopping around a lot, spending an inordinate amount of time playing RPGs (especially freeform ones) due to their size replayability (great for not buying games until the price drops).

The Explorer... I am interested in the main story but only after I've done everything else possible.

Take this Quiz to Discover What Kind of Gamer You Are!



Ever wondered what kind of gamer you are? Wonder no longer!

There are many different types of videogames, so why wouldn't there be just as many different kinds of gamers? You might know a few of them: The friend that only plays MMOGs; the pal who can't put down a game until he's collected every item and unearthed every secret; the buddy who plays Plants vs.Zombies like a fiend. With so many possibilities, it can be hard to figure out what category you fall into. So, that's why we've created this nifty quiz.

This quiz is a little different than the ones you may be used to from us. It's a personality quiz, which means that there is no right answer. Just choose the answer that appeals the most to you, and our fancy algorithms will do the rest. You can take the quiz as many times as you want, and there's a badge to be had for you to display your Gamer type to everyone. Make sure you tell us how accurate your results were!

Enjoy! (Take the Quiz [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/view/83])

The Pony-Lover and Jack of All Games have the same icon. Is this a glitch?

Totally agreed here. I notice one particular thing. There seemed to be no reference to RPGs anywhere in the quiz and it was very FPS and RTS-heavy. I'm an RPG fan, and let me tell you, the vast majority of RPGs, even JRPGs, are not "cute and cuddly". I get it, I don't like playing FPS's, but don't imply that I most enjoy "childish" games because of it.
What would be the equivalent?

"Trigger Lover
If you can smell the cordite, you'll play it. And most likely riddle it with rapid fire death!"

Or,

"The Projector
Gruff and manly is the name of the game. A hero is a man of few words - words that burn like the flesh of the guilty!"

Or,

"The Compensator
A headshot might not get you a job or the love of a woman, but you'll act like it does, and anybody that can't best you, may as well eat a bullet."
