Evaluating type gets more complicated when a person has developed some skill in an activity. For instance, someone whose personality type is more inclined towards creative decision making can benefit a lot from drilling a basic build order over and over again. This would bring his mechanics up to par so he can use his strength, which lies in decision making, to win games at a higher level. To complicate things further, if this person benefits greatly from that training, he'll extol the benefits of it, but it may not be as beneficial for other types, for instance those whose mechanics are pretty good but lack imagination for the later game.
At high levels, players have such refined play that it's hard to come up with simple examples relating playstyle to personality type. However, when things break down due to pressure (and they will in a sufficiently competitive environment), some of these differences will manifest themselves.
Love it! <3
I was hoping to find input like this along the way! *drool*

It's probably important to note that all your statistics will be biased towards the type of people who read online forums. This means your gathered statistics could be of a significantly different subset of starcraft 2 players.
Yep - we're hoping to broaden our submission pool eventually... somehow,...
It will help once we have a web portal and a means to spread by word of mouth.

I think that you WILL see differences between your TL sample and your battle.net sample. NA server with like 1300 bonus pool lol.

EDIT: That questions that second test asked really pissed me off. I found myself strongly agreeing with both answers 80% of the time. The only ones I could really pick a side for were the future-oriented ones.

Agreed - I need to remember to make a column to differentiate the two! (when desired)

Gogo Esports. Don't see the point of this response, not like it was surprising?
Wouldn't introverts tend to play single player and offline? If they're competitive, do speed runs or accumulate achievements. Esports is the more social realm of competitive gaming.
If the questions were more specific like "would you rather play a game at home by yourself or at a LAN party with your friends" or "do you prefer to discover a new game along with friends or by yourself" etc then esports folks ought to score more extroverted than on these generic tests.

This is really interesting but i would reccomend you do use a different test than Myers Briggs since the test-retest reliability of that test (3months) is only 0.5. That means that if you test a person today chances are only 50% he will get the same result in three months.

I think we really need to consider a custom test somewhere down the road if this remains interesting enough to the community!
There must be someone with enough psychometric experience to help design a test that is gamer/sc2 centric and still able to formulate accurate results!

At this time, Myers Briggs is the only test with enough exposure to inspire the volume of response we'll need for the statistical analysis. Many people already know their Myers Briggs type, and there are very simple and quick test resources online for Myers Briggs.
I'd Love to see that dependency disappear down the road!

Plat - With few 1v1 games played. Consistently matched and beating 1900 - 2500D, should be moved up soon.
Based on your count from the Bnet forums it looks like I should start playing more protoss than I have been! XD
