BrainHex: Which type of gamer are you?

[Rii]

Socialiser-Mastermind here, which makes me half-Dolphin, half-Octopus, definitely aquatic. The type I corresponded least well to was Achiever.

It would've been nice to have a question about preferred platform(s) so as to correlate that information with type, but even lacking that it's more interesting than most such tests.

Check it out.

 

[StolenThunder]

Socialiser-Conqueror, apparently. Probably about right.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

My results:

Your BrainHex Class is Conqueror.
Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Conqueror-Survivor. You like defeating impossibly difficult foes, struggling until you eventually achieve victory, and beating other players as well as pulse-pounding risks and escaping from hideous and scary threats.
According to your results, there are few play experiences that you strongly dislike.

 

[JonathonWally]

Your BrainHex Class is Seeker.
Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Seeker-Survivor.

You like finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things as well as pulse-pounding risks and escaping from hideous and scary threats.

I'll go with that. Probably influenced by my love of the Resident Evil franchise.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

This test reminds me of the Bartle Test for MMO gaming. But anyway...

Your BrainHex Class is Seeker. Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Seeker-Achiever.
You like finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things as well as collecting anything you can collect or doing everything you possibly can.

That makes me both a beaver and a pussycat. Make of that what you will.

In the Bartle test this result would correspond with an explorer-achiever. Interestingly, the last time I took the Bartle test I was a Socialiser.

Socialiser - Mastermind

Socialiser: 18
Mastermind: 13
Seeker: 11
Achiever: 10
Daredevil: 2
Survivor: 2
Conqueror: 2

Although like a lot of these psychology classifications, the description of my class is only slightly applicable. For example, I find World of warcraft and the other games listed to be deadly dull. According to my description I'm supposed to like them.

The factor they've completely ignored is rote. I hate rote in any game. That's more dominant than the socialiser factor.

n00b test.

Hm...

Your BrainHex Class is Seeker.
Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Seeker-Survivor.

You like finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things as well as pulse-pounding risks and escaping from hideous and scary threats.

According to your results, there are few play experiences that you strongly dislike.

Seeker
“I wonder what's out there...”




You like finding strange and wonderful things, or finding familiar things.

Your behaviour often shows curiosity, sustained interest, and a love of stimulating your senses.

Your major brain regions are the hippocampus (where memory is co-ordinated) and the various sensory cortices where vision, sound and so forth are processed.

Your chemical messenger is endomorphin, which is chemically related to opium, and has been linked to interest.

If you were an animal, it would be a cat.


Favourite games of Seekers surveyed so far include Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Grim Fandango, Okami, Shadow of the Colossus, and Zelda .




Your BrainHex class is related to the Easy Fun Key (4 Fun Keys), Immersion motivation (Yee), the Wanderer (DGD1) and Mimicry (Roger Caillois), and is partly related to the Explorer (Bartle Type).





Your BrainHex Icon depicts the hippocampus and sensory cortices as a circle looking forward, linked to the nucleus accumbens ("pleasure centre") in the centre, representing that stimulation of your senses and memories brings you pleasure.

Survivor
“I'll find a way to get through alive.”




You like escaping from hideous and scary threats, pulse-pounding risks.

Your behaviour rides on the edge of your fear – you love to be terrified and then feel safe again.

Your major brain region is the amygdala, an ancient part of the limbic system (the so-called “reptile brain”) that controls fear by influencing the adrenal glands.

Your chemical messenger is adrenaline (epinephrine), which enhances the effects of the reward chemical dopamine.

If you were an animal, it would be a snake.


Favourite games of Survivors surveyed so far include Bioshock, Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill.




Your BrainHex class is related to the Serious Fun Key (4 Fun Keys), and Ilinx or vertigo (Roger Caillois), as well as possibly being related to Tactical play (Temperament theory) and Immersion-Escapism motivation (Yee).




Your BrainHex Icon depicts the amygdala ("fear centre") as a large diamond and the adrenal gland as a small diamond, both linked to the nucleus accumbens ("pleasure centre") in the centre, representing that experiencing and overcoming fear brings you pleasure.

Yeah, i'ld go with that...

Achiever-Mastermind

Yep, I'm definitely an achiever.

 

[Holdfast]

Seeker-Daredevil. With the following Exceptions: No Commitment & No Fear.

I don't know about my gaming style, but it pretty much explains why I'm still single.

 

[General_Phoenix]

I got Conqueror-Seeker.

Conqueror-Seeker.
You like defeating impossibly difficult foes, struggling until you eventually achieve victory, and beating other players as well as finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things.

Probably explains why no one in my house likes gaming with me much.

 

[Kelthaz]

Your BrainHex Class is Conqueror. Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Conqueror-Mastermind.
You like defeating impossibly difficult foes, struggling until you eventually achieve victory, and beating other players as well as solving puzzles and devising strategies.

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

» No Mercy: You rarely if ever care about hurting other players' feelings - mercy is for the weak!
» 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.

The first paragraph is dead on. I love easy games as well as hard games, but it's the ones I die forever on that I tend to love the most. Although I don't agree with the messing around with a game; I hate sandbox games.

 

[TheBrew]

You like finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things as well as defeating impossibly difficult foes, struggling until you eventually achieve victory, and beating other players.

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.

Yeah, I don't play that many horror games (or I don't at least complete them). I think the last horror game I actually finished was the Resident Evil Remake, though I did get far in RE:4. I'm on the 2nd chapter in Dead Space, been thinking of picking it up again and then play for 10 minute spurts.

 

[Skywalker]

Conqueror
"I cannot be defeated!"

You like defeating impossibly difficult foes, struggling until you eventually achieve victory, and beating other players.

[Jono]

Conqueror-Mastermind.

Pretty accurate

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Seeker-Daredevil. You like finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things as well as rushing around at heights or high speed while you are still in control.


Which funnily

what it says on my birth certificate.
