League: Platinum Race: Protoss Estimated total games: 500 Do you have any SC:BW experience: Played heavily on and off, but was never any good. Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: I imagine it would. If a person is aggressive, theoretically they would play an aggressive style through harass or engaging with brute force constantly. Of course a person's personality could shape them to play the exact opposite of their personality type as well... | ||

League: Masters Race: Zerg, Terran, Protoss. Played at masters level with all 3 races Estimated total games: 1-1.5k Do you have any SC:BW experience: Lots of custom games and lots of 2v2's. Few 1v1's Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: Yes, I am aggressive and most of my Sc2 builds are pressure builds and the like. I like being active with my army and applying pressure. In real life my personality is to get things done and just do it. | ||

League: Masters Race: Terran Estimated Total Games: 3050 SC:BW Experience: I only played campaign when I was 10 Do you feel personality type affects your SC2 experience and if so why: I believe that personality would affect a person's SC2 experience because if your personality doesn't cope well with failure you wont be improving and you would likely quit after a while. | ||

Strict yes/no answers don't cut it. For example, 'often' is a term that is subjective; the test needs more options saying things like "none of the above" and "sometimes". I say this because many questions I see I can't give straight yes/no answers to. | ||

If you just want to do a fun little writeup without trying to reach any conclusions based on this poll, for all means, go ahead.  INTP Diamond zerg about 1000 I'd guess? almost only team games though. have played sc1 since beta. And what do you even mean with my personality type affecting my sc2 experience? >_> Do you ask if the 4 letter combination I got from the test is directly causing my sc2 experience to be different? No of course not. Do you ask me if my personality is affecting how I experience sc2? Yes, of course... Do you ask if I believe that specific parts of my sc2 experience is related to some specific personality trait that I think is related to one of the letters in the MB test? I don't know. How could I know? And that would be a silly question to ask, as that is more or less the question you are trying to answer with the poll... It's like having a poll 1) Do you drink milk? 2) Are you overweight? 3) Do you feel that your weight is affected by your milk intake? umm... "78% of milk drinkers does not believe that their weight is affected by drinking milk, thus proving that milk does not affect your weight!!!" >_> Well, if you are just playing around, feel free to ignore my rant.  But if you try to make ANY kind of REMOTELY scientific sounding conclusions from the results of this poll, you will have me after you! I am watching you. Consider this your first warning. > : ) | ||

League: Masters Race: Random Estimated total games: ~ 1500 (most are team games) Do you have any SC:BW experience: Lots Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: Quick thinking and adjusting on the fly is kind of useful i guess. I NEVER BM anyone, maybe because i'm introverted? Maybe i'm just a well mannered person (which seems pretty rare on BNet ^^) Don't know | ||

The Judging and Perceiving traits seem to be the most common SC2 player. But then, base on the sort of time and effort and thought SC2 takes, I guess It's not really that surprising xD | ||

They tell you which pointless acronym you come under based on vague archetypes, it doesn't tell you anything truly about yourself, doesn't show intelligence, doesn't reflect Starcraft skill, and shouldn't be seen as anything but fun trivia. It's dumb to try and categorise yourself based on arbitrary measurements and portray it as real science. I'm a Capricorn btw, that makes me knowledgable about these things. | ||

League: Diamond Race: Protoss Estimated total games: 2000+ Do you have any SC:BW experience: Yes, played for around a year before release of SC2, but only managed D- on ICCUP Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: It certainly has a profound effect on the way I have come to improve at SC2, but it is not the only personality type that enables one to become better at SC2. Because of my personality type I am more inclined to focus on myself and be more at home, thus giving me more time to practice and neglect the distracting aspects of life. I still think though that numerous combinations of personality types can be conducive to SC2 experience, at least where we take intelligence and critical thinking into account. | ||

Other than that...no. | ||

Type: ISTJ League: Masters Race: Zerg Games: Over 4000 No SC:BW experience or experience with any RTS ever. Effect of personality type: I have a couple friends who have played this game much longer than I have. Shortly after the release of sc2, I decided to drop WoW which had began to bore me and play sc2 (I have only ever played one game at a time for many years now). Although I started in bronze and far below my friends, because I continued to play consistently I have since season 1 advanced 5 leagues while my friends have both advanced 1. This is happening because how my friends play sc2 is they play a ladder game maybe one day then go play UMS maps or they just won't play because they have too much work or they will be busy with other games. Meanwhile I was playing three hours a day regardless of homework and more on weekends. A large part of my motivation came from the fact that I had entered SC2 with the plan of becoming the best player I could be. From the beginning this was my goal and it still is. I don't feel that any of my friends think of video games like that. | ||
