Most Vote Zerg as the most defensive race. However a PvZ often looks different, in the way that the zerg applies a lot of pressure to not let the protoss max out.

Yup, I'd say zerg has better early game pressure than protoss does, at least that's what pro games seems to be like at the moment.

If we're going by which race has the best defense, best aggression, sadly its the same race, terran...

If we're going by which race seems to like to attack the most its terran, and which race seems to defend the most, that'd be zerg.

Depending on matchups. In TvP and TvZ, Terrans are normally the aggressors, in ZvP, zerg is the aggressor.

terran is most agreesive one
since its macro tool is the weakest.(scvs.)
If three races macro well
terran is the one to max out the slowest.

protoss 's 200 is strongest.
definely the defensive one.

Zerg, Terran, Protoss can be pretty aggressive.
Zerg, Terran, Protoss can be pretty defensive.

I wouldn't commit to say something like "Race X is the most aggressive" because it is fully situational imho.

The result is really suprising me. Terrans are aggressive?

Well, they use some timing pushes but other than that, they are defensive until they hit a timing (ex.: third tank finishes), attack, turtle until they hit the next timing (ex.: second thor finished). They do harassment with drops or blue flame hellions but imho that doesn't count as aggressive.

Also, Zerg counting as defensive is imho one of the reasons many of them do bad (burrow, easy drops, nydus, immediate tech switch,...). They have a lot of options to be aggressive, it's a waste of potential to play defensive as Zerg.

I think it comes down to the strategy more then the race :S. I mean a T could go mass tank or go for bio+drops, same race but two different styles.
If I had to pick though I'll say Zerg is most aggressive ( with muta harass, lings, infestors ) and Toss is the most defensive ( with their big and expensive units ).

...I suppose aggression and defensiveness are not mutually exclusive, then? :o

I'm fairly impressed that Terran is at once the most aggressive and most defense race. Are we not thinking about baneling busts and quick thirds / spanishiwa style / mass droning.... are we not thinking about 4gate, cannon contains, and 15 Nexus? I think zerg has the most aggressive potential with the larvae mechanic and the early pool play.

Terran and Terran. No question.
It's true that all race can be defensive and aggressive but terran can do it cost efficient.
Zerg play aggressively early game, if failed they are so far behind.
Protoss can play defensively but the not so mobile army can be a disaster to drops.
