Gonna read through others replies after this!
Personality Type: INFJ
League: Masters (Top)
Race: Zerg
Estimated total games: 5000+
Do you have any SC:BW experience: Tons of BGH, a little ICCUP before SC2, and was very good at Warcraft 3
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: Very much so! The first thing that comes to mind is the emotional stress that I have to work to separate myself from when losing. Also agrivating is when my opponent plays in a way that I don't think is intelligent and I end up losing because of that. However, in the same breath; I'm quite ready to sit down and be honest with myself about my feelings and decipher what is going on aand correct this behavior and these ways of thinking and feeling. It's been a long work in process but I am really getting to a much more kind and mature place when it comes to the things that used to upset me in this game. Also, my propensity for understanding how others think and feel helps me out a ton with reading gameflow, their next move, even how they will micro things at times. I learn a bout them faster than they learn about me and usually stay ahead of the curve, especially in Best-ofs where the series runs longer and I feel more and more in their head. This is what makes me a great rock paper scissors player LOL.

Do you have any SC:BW experience: Very little ICCup, lots of random melee on B.Net. Read: awful.
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: Yes...I often try to force a build to work for a long even if it seems to be having problems, because I am generally confident in my understanding of most things.

i love how INTJ and ISTJ are 2% of the population except for on internet forums where they are at least 65% of the total.

Do you have any SC:BW experience: few games vs my brother + turnament vods
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: seems it does- at least atm when i'm not that expirienced in playing sc2; i try to plan ahead, but i do not wrap things up in builds aside from the opening (i believe i need to get round with the game mechanics first and later on focus on builds)

Race: Terran
Estimated total games:300
Do you have any SC:BW experience: C- iccup Terran
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: \
Yes, the sensing dominant attribute drives me to study replay after replay, collecting all of the details in order to have a stock of information.

Personality Type: INFJ
League: Gold
Race: Toss
Estimated total games: 325
Do you have any SC:BW experience: I've played less than a dozen BW games (so "no")
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: The main effect I see, is that my scouting reads tend to feel very... "gut feeling-y" but I'm not sure if that's because I just started scouting a couple of months ago and don't quite understand what I'm observing enough to put it into words, if it's because I'm a female or if it's because of the "intuition/feeling" over "sensing/thinking." (That is an awful sentence, but I'm too tired to fix it, sorry!)
So... maybe?

Race: Protoss
Estimated total games: 2000
Do you have any SC:BW experience: Nothing of note
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: After taking that test, I could apply some of thsoe questions to SC2 i.e. do you think problems through or just look for a solution. I definitely just look for the solution and that applies to when i lose to certain strategies and I "watch the replay" to "see what I did wrong" a.k.a. just telling myself "oh i should have scouted faster" instead of analyzing the builds...

Personality:INTP
League: Master
Race: Zerg
Estimated Total Games: 800
BW experience: No
Effected by personality type: yes, because it can affect your playstyle, method of practice, etc.
|
Personality: INTP
League: Master
Race: Zerg
Estimated Total Games: ~1000
BW experience: No
Effected by personality type: I imagine so. Residing in your mind most of the time allows you to analyze games without watching replays, or so I've found.

Personality Type: INTP
League: Master
Race: Terran
Estimated total games: 3000
Do you have any SC:BW experience: Very minimal (5-10 games against computer)
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: Yes. If I lose often I'll get depressed, to some extent and play on tilt, it's a vicious cycle. On the otherhand, If I play well and have good win streaks I'll often become filled with self-confidence and happiness. I know, it's sad lol. I also feel as if my competitiveness keeps me motivated to get better at starcraft to no end.

Personality Type: INTJ
League: Master
Race: Zerg
Estimated total games: 800
Do you have any SC:BW experience: No
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: I think it is very important. To be able to look at strategy and mechanics in an analytical way will take you to the next level. For example, sure this build may work, but why? How can I apply this concept to other strategies? Or, to elaborate, I'm dying to this a lot. What are all the possible solutions, pros and cons of each, and which seems to be optimal in its adaptability? Someone with a personality where they're tempted to go "fuck it, X race is gay and this player is gay for choosing this race" (think IdrA, but actually serious), will never make it far and will plateau very quickly.
Unforunately the OPs results seem totally non-conclusive because with the exception of the small data size groups (bronze-gold), every single category is INTJ by majority. So all we've learned is that most StarCraft 2 players are INTJ. Nevertheless, I look forward to the results!

Personality: ISTJ
League: Diamond
Race: Terran
I believe I got INTJ before, but there is little to no preference for S/N apparently so close enough. I don't find it surprising I*T* are leading here. Definitely a thinking game, and introverted people tend to be more drawn to gaming to begin with. I assume starcraft just caters heavily to the thinking end of the gamer crowd.

Personality Type: INTP
League: Platinum
Race: Zerg
Estimated total games: 200 league, 2000 custom
Do you have any SC:BW experience: 3 months?
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: I believe that this greatly affects my sc2 experience. Most of these customs were actually games that I played while my friends were socializing and I didn't want to risk losing a ladder match for small interruptions, so that's being Introverted. I also tend to try out many new builds if possible and I like to shift up my gameplay often, like my iNtuitive side. I think about the situation and I theorycraft a lot to get a good grip on the build that I like to learn before I actually get hands on and test it out for myself, so that's Thinking. And last, I don't like judging people just cuz, so yeah.. I only get on tilt if they're bm and just annoy the crap out of me.

Personality Type: ISFP
League:Diamond
Race:Terran
Estimated total games: 2953
Do you have any SC:BW experience:NO
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: I think in some ways it does. I always tend to usually stick on one builds and try to just completely master that build. I'm usually afraid to try other builds and when it's time to improvise I tend to mess up. I also have a habit making poor decision due to my lack of intuition.
I guess ISFP are not the most strategical type. But I don't like being chained by my personality alone and will try to improve.
*Edit:Are INTP supposed to be the rarest? There seems to be a lot of them on here

*Edit:Are INTP supposed to be the rarest? There seems to be a lot of them on here
The top two rarest (in order) are INFJ and INFP from what I've gathered throughout my time around many sources of literature pertaining to mbti as well as from my own estimate.
I'm really enjoying thinking about the diversity of types that have posted here and the different things about the game that appeal to them, and how we all get pulled in by the same unifying sick nerd baller game.

League: Gold (fuck yeah)
Race: Protoss
Estimated total games: ~100 1v1, ~300 2v2, ~50 custom 1v1, ~50 3v3/4v4
Do you have any SC:BW experience: No, but I have experience in other competitive RTS titles (CoH, DoW, AoE)
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: It probably limits the amount of time I play, preferring to watch than play myself.
