IRE Asks: What's your Bartle Quotient?

Mine is Meh.

I'm a killer!

I'm an Explorer. Not that that should be all that surprising to anyone that knows me.

I'm  an explorer, then a killer, which is amusing.

No friend undiscovered!

It's not what you do, but who you know, how you are known and who loves you. People with high Socializer scores enjoy interacting with other people, forming bonds and finding cooperative solutions to the challenges within the virtual world.

killer. but it wasnt a great test. all a bit black and white

heh, I am a achiever/socializer

But I got explorer.

Explorer, with a break down of Socilizer. Yay for being the glue of the world!

Your gamerDNA is:
Achiever

Description:

Best, first and most are the favorite adjectives of the Achiever. They love comparison not only against others, but also with themselves. They enjoy setting goals, surpassing previous performances and hitting new milestones. They tend to have lots of high scores, badges, trophies and other concrete evidence of their successful endeavors--and they love it if someone notices these. However many enjoy the quiet satisfaction of knowing they simply did better than most.

explorer

Your gamerDNA is:
KILLER

Description:

It's the thrill of the kill. Trophies are okay, but that momentary rush attained from besting an opponent is what it's all about.

People with high Killer scores prefer the player-versus-player aspect of any game more than anything offered by the environment. They relish the adrenaline and challenge of pitting themselves against real people. Not all Killers are gankers as some critics claim. While getting the jump on the unprepared for a quick kill is important fun for some Killers, many prefer group PvP and revel in a well executed team maneuver that blows away the opposing side.

Secondary influences

• Killer Achievers pit themselves against PvE challenges as well--though often it's a means to an end. A KA often enjoys PvP that focuses on their skill as an individual contributor (duels, and so forth) as well as their personal position on competitive ladders and such.
• Killer Socializers often seek out PvP in a game, but they are looking to socialize with and form alliances and teams with other players who are interested in doing the same. KS tend to seek out guilds or clans that organize formal PvP events, or work on group strategies and tactics.
• Killer Explorers like to feel immersed in a virtual worlds and see themselves as a great villain or crusader within that world. They seek out challenges against other players, but they are going to find all the areas of that world. Trust an KE to know all the best ambush spots and sniper perches.

I'm not a killer. I'm a total nub at combat. 

And that's part of the criticism! No one stays in one role long enough. It will be interesting to see an MMO that bases classes around it. Will it get old quicker?

Explorer (EKSA)

Haven't changed, still love wandering around over much anything else.

...

Explorer

Killer: 67%, Achiever: 60%, Explorer: 40%, Socializer: 33%

Large groups of morons mean more people to hunt. :D

when I decide I care enough to check.

Explorer-Killer

Kill, burn, rape, though not in that order.

Killer

The Killer motto: "No enemy left standing!" Description:

I think this can vary depending on my current disposition, but at the moment my result is. Explorer

Explorer, apparently. I don't feel that way, though.

Your gamerDNA is:
Socializer

Secondary influences

• Socializer Killers loyally love and fiercely hate. Groups an SK bonds with in game are often deemed heroic, while the opposition is reviled. SKs appreciate teamwork and cooperation in PvP. They may become vicious predators while enjoying the thrill of hunt within in a pack, but they are not likely to seek out targets by themselves. They enjoy forming groups and alliances that will pit themselves against other players--and they gain the most satisfaction when they defeat organized groups of other players.

Never even heard of this test.

RESULTS BREAKDOWN: E.S.A.K.
Explorer: 87%, Socializer: 60%, Achiever: 47%, Killer: 7%

The flaw with this test is that it only cares about two things: this, or that! It doesn't test the level of desire for either of those things, and the much harder to score part is it doesn't test the reasoning behind selected choices. I think at least testing the level of desire would produce more accurate results.

I got "Achiever". Doesn't describe me too well.

Secondary influences are:

Achiever Killers (I do like some PvP, but I'm a non-combatant on Lusternia)

Achiever Explorers (does not describe me)

Achiever Socializers (the complete opposite of me)

most of the time the questions asked lead one to a answer in many different ways...one might be a combination of two or more...seems a little to simple to me, but is still rather interesting

Well it says i'm social. If I take it again it'll be something completly different I bet.

Social it appears for me.

Explorer

Killer!

socialiser. No supprise.

Explorer..meh. It's true and yet...it's just one side. I hunt a lot to raise my level..

Explorer.

I would guess myself a little bit of everything

I'm likeeeee Dora!

achiever

Consider me not surprised.

I got Killer, but I would have gotten Socializer years ago before I really got into combat. I didn't want to sign up to get more info. Some of the numbers were wrong, it's imperfect.

Killer!

Interesting article.

i'm an explorer. then it's socializer, acheiver, killer. 

Your gamerDNA is:

EXPLORER

.

Achiever explorer. I aspire to become a combatant though, but typically for my type I want to hit Demi first and get a nice experience buffer. If there was no XP loss on death, or a penalty that does not take hours to undo, I'd be pvping it up right now already though. Sparring right now is what I'll stick to.

Socializer. 

Which is wierd, as that's by far the least important to me.

The discrepancy is probably because I don't fit into any of the given descriptions; I'm most similar to the killer explorer, but rather than PvP I prefer to try to use the other aspect of "explorer" (the discovery and creative application of knowledge) to try to war against entire sides and hopefully achieve the sort of goal most Achievers never even dream of.

It's the sort of playstyle which is simply not possible in a purely mechanistic world like most MMORPGs.

Explorer, weird

i prefer getting the items that nobody has

Explorer on this character!

Which kinda surprised me because I didn't think my answers leaned that way.

Explorer. If there was a more specific test I would have ended up with "Administrator/Leader" cause I have yet to have an IRE character who doesn't end up being GM ~_~

Explorer. Not terribly surprising.

This wasn't too surprising seeing as how I love achievements on the XBox as much as I do in completing games to their entirety.

interesting

Explorer-Achiever

achiever, not really sure what i have ever achieved though.

Which is mainly true. I play here for the interaction it gives, not for the PvP (although I don't mind raids) or experience rankings.

I like making even extremely minor, everyday interactions as special as they can be. I'm not that good at it yet, but I'm getting there! Heh.

Breakdown:

-65% reward-driven
+50% thoughtful
+65% exploratory
-50% physical
+100% social
-65% competitive

Makes a lot of sense indeed.

I dislike immensely quizes that attempt to pidgenhole everyone.  Very rarely I take them and after reading the comments above didn't even bother to look at this one, don't have too much time to waste on some nonsense.

Killer

SKEA? Weird.

I'm an explorer.

Said I'm a socializer, which I'll accept. I get along better with acheivers and killers than I do with other socializers, though.

K, E, S.  In this order.  I perfer little of everything, but i personally recieved Socializer from the test >.>  Achievements don't drive my interest.

Supposedly I'm an explorer. I don't know how, I don't do that much exploring.

I got Killer but....

RESULTS BREAKDOWN: K.A.E.S.
Killer: 53%, Achiever: 53%, Explorer: 53%, Socializer: 40%

I'm just as much an Achiever and Explorer as I am a Killer. I wonder if all that cancels eachother out and makes me an unsocial non-entity?

At the very least, I'm well-rounded.

Where is that category? Didn't take the test, obviously.

Explorer. RESULTS BREAKDOWN: E.A.S.K. No surprises there.

Sexy

ok

Explorer ofc

damn, that dude looks a lot like sedaka...

I suppose that's not a surprise? I try to be well-rounded though

E.S.A.K for me, although the results were fairly even overall, with explorer first by a few percent.

I got socializer... which is odd.... I don't like lots of people.

I chat more than anything else in game. Although I am a fan of the killer archetype. Cracking jokes and emoting mid combat with hit and run tactics seems to creep most people out hehe.

All the things!

Is what I am!

Equal parts socializer and killer.

Thats me

Explorer/socializer

S 93%

E 73%

A 27%

K 7%

I've never enjoyed games where the point of it all is to kill things in the most efficiant way possible, unless there's something else to be gained from doing so. As such, I've never been fond of most firstperson fighter games, and even many RPG video games. Imperian is the first MMO I've ever played, and when I started it seemed there were many more like me roaming around in the world. These days, however, it seems there are few of us running around. Everything now seems to come back to "How do we most efficiently kill the other guys?" Shard battles, Obelisks, even this dwarf nonsense. I stick it out because of the few people who can come away with me and actually roleplay while everyone else is out hunting each other down. I don't know what I would do without them.

And also cause I've put a hell of a lotta work into this game, I can't seem to convince myself that it was all for nothing.

Thinking I should try another IRE game. Have some money to burn these days, and if I spend it on credits or something of the like, I want it to be for a game I'm going to enjoy playing a while from now. Just don't know what game to go with...

explorer...with a 50/50 split between socializer and achiever.

credit

and a socializer?

I should retake this

None of the above...builder.

My GamerDNA is Explorer Achiever.

Explorer Achiever all the way, baby!

Achiever - every time.

go figure.

I bounce around a bit each time I take the test, but achiever/explorer appear to be the most common.

Explorer!

Say before this I wasn't much of a socializer, but MUDs have really pushed me in that direction. It's quite nice too. Well done, all!

Makes it kind of hard to tell, really.

Achiever:

  Achiever: 87%

  Explorer: 67%

  Killer: 40%

  Socializer: 20% 

I wonder what I'd get if I answered for my character! 

I'm a sleeper.

achiever

k

BEAR FIGHT!!!
