I took the game as part of one of my courses, and here are the details of my results.: https://apps.quanticfoundry.com/profiles/gamerprofile/5KTYPuQDrmvfYgGbbSxyvR/?n
Results analysis:
BARD / SKIRMISHER
Gamer Type Mottos:
Bard: “Playing a Part in a Grand Story.”
Skirmisher: “Jumping Into the Fray of Battle.”
Your primary (dominant) player type is the Bard, but you also lean towards a secondary player type, the Skirmisher.
Bards are team players who want to chat and interact with other players in game worlds that are rich with lore, stories, discovery, and customization. For them, the game is a grand story that emerges from a community of players.
Skirmishers want fast-paced team arenas that are accessible and easy to jump into. They are highly spontaneous gamers who dislike games that require thinking and planning.
The fact that two types of players stand out for me doesn’t surprise me at all. After all, my gaming sessions are primarily defined by two broad categories, depending on whether I’m alone or not. If I play with people, which happens about one evening every one or two weeks, then I generally play games like Overwatch and Valorant. If I’m alone, which is usually the case, then I play games like Assassin’s Creed, Total War, or Civilization.
Nevertheless, and this may be where my data is flawed, I’m active in several gaming communities, and this universe still really excites me. I really miss the days of Boreal eSports or the clans/guilds I’ve been a part of over the years. If I had more time to invest in a game, I’d probably jump into an MMO. I’m actually really looking forward to Riot’s.
