OP definitely draws some overly certain conclusions, but it does open an interesting question. What can you guess about a person (and their build) from their chat? | ||

Haters gonna hate. I do this in real life all the time and to everyone who doesn't do it, it just seems like guesswork. Until you tell the person something about themselves that they have not told you. Thanks for the interesting pseudo-results. | ||

They might be more focused on tournaments and such so they don't really even bother saying anything on ladder, since they're just massing games. Otherwise it's an interesting guide, but I'd say it's pretty dangerous to assume anything just based on chat. Yeah this is more my experience too. If I meet a silence player it's usually someone that's really serious and is in some sort of "shell" and does only focus on the game and nothing else. Usually really strongs. Coming from my experience around high master. | ||

Sorry, I read that as "There isn't even any theory behind it, just the weight of empirical evidence". You realise Eysenck's trait theory also used factor analysis, right? | ||

I am aware people that don't talk aren't always going to try and go for that quick, satisfying kill. My intention for this topic was to just to get people to be prepared for things in the way that works for me, not to make a build specifically designed around chat. Just to keep an extra, watchful eye open when something happens. And as far as my "Psychoanalysis" header goes, I did google it, but I only went with one part of the definition, so I'm right AND wrong in using it. For those of you whom feel dumber for having read it, I apologize. I would advise this to everyone on TL.net: Do not use words you don't know. If you have to google a word in order to use and understand it then it is assumable that you are not familiar with this word. This article is not about psychoanalysis. Use a header like, "Communication in 1vs1 bronze to gold" or something more specific. Your post will be taken more serious if you know what you are speaking about. Do not use foreign words or words sounding sophisticated in order to make things look more interesting. | ||

glhf vs lghf or glhF: ) Within the percentage of 'standard' players, a precise 'glhf' (15%) generally indicates superior mechanics compared to a sloppy lghf(9-11%). Much can also be gleaned from the presence of a trailing smiley: * If the glhf: ) is slow (28%), he's using one hand to hit shift+: and he's not very quick at it, which means he's not very experienced at adding units to control groups and will generally be worse at positional play. Expand aggressively, being sure to keep vision of the centre of the map. * If the F is capitalised (45%), he's liable to hitting modifier keys too early and will almost certainly screw up the contents of his control groups at some point, preventing the casting of spells at critical moments or interfering with his macro. Harass these players to maximise their discomfort. You might want to add this info to the OP. | ||

Every person is different, judging someones personality is a miniscule part of metagame analysis but often what someone says can be deliberately misleading. I found myself vulnerable to making poor snap judgments when I was really into online poker. Its easy to start arrogantly thinking of people as predictable and machine like, and a lot of people will take advantage of this by counting on their opponent underestimating them. Even lower level players can be scheming and manipulative, so dont fall into the habit of trying to prejudice the "sheeple". | ||
