I was scared of Zerg when I was kid and found them to be very intimidating opponents online, same with Undead in WC3.

So I wanted to be intimidating, and thus I chose Zerg. I'm getting older now though and more chill, having thoughts of switching to Terran...

I don't know about personalities but i think progamers definitely look like their races
for example
zerg: jaedong, julyzerg, luxury/yarnc, effort, savior(to lesser extent)
toss: reach, bisu, kal, best, garimto
terran: tend to just look like normal humans, nada, boxer,flash, etc

Well seems as it's been necroed...

I honestly don't know. I was taught on Terran, but switched to Protoss to vary up the races being played in our LAN parties. (And the third friend chose Zerg for similar reasons.) I stayed with Protoss because from other strategy games, I love teching and Protoss is a high tech race. (Age of Empires, Civ II had me fast teching to everything.) I also enjoyed the being sneaky with Reaver, DT, and HT drops and just the pure amount of casters the Protoss had.

The one thing that made me think that there might be something to the personality thing- a fellow joined us in our 6 player LAN party and managed to guess every single one of races- with the exception of one. (Guessed toss, was actually Zerg.) But he couldn't quite say why he thought we played each race.

Terran would be my second race of choice- mostly once I figure out how to use Vultures properly and started dropping. I like to hit where the army is not rather than assaulting head on.

My personality? Dunno, never BMed anyone, fairly level-headed, patient etc.

Zerg is my favourite and then it's Protoss. I don't know why but I just hate playing as Terran. :0

Personality doesn't affect race.
Interests do.
I've played all 3 over the years--during that time, I chose the race that I felt I could be creative with, or aggressive with, or just whatever the current cool race of the time was. I play zerg now b/c of it's possibilities by watching Jaedong. I've played since 98'
So, I enforce again, personality doesn't affect race--typically more so after meeting players at LAN events.
I think it's the same as asking someone if they think their favorite fruit of the day is affected by their personality.


well for me i am usually zerg because they are versitile, volatile and aggresive. but at one point i became cold and misogynistic, so i picked terran because the cold steel of robotic mech felt better for me at the time. i'd mech vs everything, since its a viable strat vs everyone now. and i would REFUSE to make medics, because i was misogynistic. so there you go starcraft race//unit choices reflects personality.

I think that if I chose a race based on my personality, zerg would be the last race I chose. I would probably play protoss or maybe terran. But I still play zerg because I'm just better with them, don't know why. I've been thinking of switching several times, but I've stayed because of Jaedong.

I play terran because I'm a real sucker for the novel idea that its humans vs aliens etc.
It makes it seem ask if you're fighting for survival or something.

That and I heard it was a mechanically demanding race and I'm a real keener....

Protoss at the beggining, as I remember - I thought that PvZ was imba as a complete newb so I switched to Zerg to see and I stayed with Zerg and then I would switch back to P and back to Z 2 times , until I stayed with Z for good, I don`t regret a single bit of that now

smart aliens can suck a dick. Bug race has no emotion or will, they only survive and serve the hive to further their existence.
humans are boring.

i played zerg at first because it seemed like the hardest race to win with, and i didnt want to take an easy path to victory, i wanted to overwhelm my opponents with superior bw playing ability. after a while i switched some matchups to protoss because i liked being in control of the game constantly, with a strong mobile force. i loved the mobility of zerg in zvp, but not so much in zvt, and eventually pvz became my favorite matchup (invincible armies with storm and archons yeah!). ive played zvp pvz pvt now for most of my bw experience.

I doubt personality has a large effect on race choice in starcraft; playstyles and unit preferences would probably be a more accurate statement (to me at least).
