    Default What kind of Gamer are you?

    Fun little test here:
    http://survey.ihobo.com/BrainHex/

    My results:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Your BrainHex Class is Conqueror.

    Your BrainHex Class Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Conqueror-Socialiser.

    You like defeating impossibly difficult foes, struggling until you eventually achieve victory, and beating other players as well as hanging around with people you trust and helping people.

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

    » No Commitment: You dislike being asked to complete everything, preferring to pick and choose which tasks you will attempt, or simply messing around with a game.

    Learn more about your classes and exceptions at BrainHex.com.

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

    Conqueror: 19
    Socialiser: 16
    Survivor: 15
    Mastermind: 13
    Seeker: 11
    Daredevil: 7
    Achiever: 1


    Pretty accurate, IMHO.

    This is actually pretty accurate. I tend to gravitate toward a group mentality (in shooters especially) and have a regular crew who I run Gears of War 2 games with. The exception is dead on too as i hate being a completionist, though I've done some achievement hunting from time to time.

    I'm not entirely sure that's accurate. Mostly, I guess. If the questions were more blanced and covered genres and scenarios it'd be better. It didn't pick up most of the things I don't like, including where there were questions for them. I don't like boss battles, repetition, or being pressured into rushing.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Not surprising, I think they would've found more 'play experiences' I didn't like if they had branched into more specific territory, but I guess that would've tripled the length of the survey.
