ENTP Terran (offrace: zerg) Diamond (rank #1, basically master's) Really having a difficult time choosing between zerg and terran. Right now, Terran tho. Interesting to see ENTP's (inventor) not really present in other races. I thought the questions in the personality test were all really stupid (or at least helplessly vague) like any other such test. But "inventor" far and away appeals to me over any other possible personality profile. GL w/ this project. | ||

Especially since according to wikipedia 1-4% of people are INTJ's, the fact that 25% of TLers who have contributed to the study are INTJ is pretty neat. Yah - Unfortunately, the [Google Docs] spreadsheet data is subject to my own human error. Once we're primarily using the data from the database, we'll be certain it only matches real personality types. I think Vaux just did the data crunching and didn't double check my work (as he shouldn't have to). :-) On February 07 2011 17:22 Silmakuoppaanikinko wrote: They often ask things like 'After a night of partying I: A: Feel refreshed. B: Need some time alone to regenerate.', not so much 'Do you or don't you go partying'? Of course, this is silly, because I miss the option 'Feel annoyed at myself and the collective of human stupidity, hate myself, the entire world, the lack of caffeine and am one step closer to work over my school with a half-automatic but am terribly pleased I live on the civilized part of the North-Atlantic where I need to at least have a reason to posses them.' Wow,... that was an awesome run on sentence (No sarcasm intended) - I think I like this guy (No sarcasm intended) | ||

Who are you doing this research for and why? What are the merits of the Myers Briggs type indicator and why do you (and those responding seriously) accept it to be accurate and to measure anything? What were your expectations when you started this? | ||

I think that the other 2 races have a lot more extroverted personalities behind them, it's just that they don't like posting on TL. If you look at the statistics at sc2ranks, zerg is the least played race, so this data isn't necessarily the most accurate. It's maybe a good representation of TL, but not all sc2 gamers. It is interesting how few terran players are on teamliquid. This explains why it always seemed like there was so much zerg whining in comparison to the other races, its not that zerg players like to whine more than any other players, there are just more of them on TL. | ||

What are the merits of the Myers Briggs type indicator and why do you (and those responding seriously) accept it to be accurate and to measure anything? What were your expectations when you started this? You're probably right - I should make an FAQ. :-) I'm doing the research for the SC2 community and for fun. I'm not hired, enticed or persuaded by any entity. I'm motivated by curiosity and by the community's response thus far. Those who have joined the effort of analyzing the data have stepped up out of their own curiosity as well. I've funded web hosting in hopes that this will become an Open Community project and because it will be much easier to collaborate with those who have already offered and provided their assistance. The merit of Myers Briggs MBTI is it's popularity. I don't expect it is more valid than any other test, nor do I expect it to be accurate. It's simply the easiest means to collect a large pool of data with which to analyze potential personality correlations. Ideally, I would Love to see someone with psychometric analysis experience step up and help us to design an SC2-targetted personality survey which could be hosted on sc2persona.com - but that would require a consistent stream of interest to collect enough data. Myers Briggs is an ideal starting point. Many people know their MBTI, and those who don't can take a non-invasive 2 minute test. I'm not sure what you mean by my expectations. I certainly hoped to obtain data, which has already been more successful than my expectation of initial turnout. My "vision", I suppose,.. as in my ideal ultimate goal - would be to see this turn into an Open Community project - with autonomous community moderation and contribution. Data would be collected by a form and submitted to a database; the database would be fleshed out with related data by querying the sc2ranks API; that data would become available to anyone with "Contributor" access to analyze in whatever way works for them (Excel, Python, PHP, Perl, etc). | ||

I'm really really hoping I can entice some Terrans by sharing our project in the Battle.net chat rooms,... or something. I'm getting the impression that our average Terran player just isn't interested in data the way the rest of the community is. It's absolutely true that the sample we have thus far is only from forum visitors (half from TL and half from the Battle.net NA forums). I'm trying to determine a means to change that, but haven't built enough inertia to run entirely on word of mouth (it may not even happen,... perhaps only forum-goers are the personalities interested in this kind of analysis). *shrug | ||
