Greetings, glorious adventurers! If you're joining in our Alpha One spot testing, please follow the steps here to see all the latest test info on our forums and Discord!

What kind of player are you?

I saw someone else post this test on another thread and I figured if more people do it, we could be giving a tangible idea as to what the core audience for this game is like, for Intrepid to make decisions in the future.

My results:

The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
You are 73% 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.

    These tests are about as worthwhile as horoscopes, as I just posted in another thread.

    There are several reasons for this, not least of which is because people almost always put the answer they want to be true, rather than the answer they think to be true. But then there is the fact that the answer that is true (and thus the results of the test) can change on a day to day basis.

    At best, a Bartle score is an indicator of how a player wants others to see them.

    Sorry to rain on the Explorer parade, apparently it's just the kind of player I am...

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

    ♣ Killers get their kicks from imposing themselves on others. This may be "nice", ie. busybody do-gooding, but few people practice such an approach because the rewards (a warm, cosy inner glow, apparently) aren't very substantial. Much more commonly, people attack other players with a view to killing off their personae (hence the name for this style of play). The more massive the distress caused, the greater the killer's joy at having caused it. Normal points-scoring is usually required so as to become powerful enough to begin causing havoc in earnest, and exploration of a kind is necessary to discover new and ingenious ways to kill people. Even socialising is sometimes worthwhile beyond taunting a recent victim, for example in finding out someone's playing habits, or discussing tactics with fellow killers. They're all just means to an end, though; only in the knowledge that a real person, somewhere, is very upset by what you've just done, yet can themselves do nothing about it, is there any true adrenalin-shooting, juicy fun.

  • The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
    You are 80% 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).

  • The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology

    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 undertand them, and to form beautiful, lasting relationships.

    It is very possible I took the wrong test, but I don't even care anymore. It's probably about the same accuracy and usefulness.

    These tests are only good telling you what kind of person you yourself think you are.

    You're going to choose the question that best appeals to you, but not necessarily the one you actually practice.

    This may be a better tool to determine what types of players you prefer, rather than what you really are.

    True, but just throwing in the disclaimer because the inevitable "i got X, but this doesn't sound anything like how I play". It's not meant to be used in any real academic sense, just for fun.

    People were basing entire arguments on why Ashes needs to change on this test in other threads.
