Personality Type: INFJ
League: Gold
Race: Terran
Estimated total games: over 300
Do you have any SC:BW experience: I've only been playing SC II for 2 seasons. Before that was FPS games (cod/halo/bf)
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: I think it CAN affect how ppl play and why. I'd have to say I'm not really one to complain about whatever 'OP train' everyone is riding, but I'd like to find out why its working for that race and how to beat it. Complaining helps no one lol. I don't express feelings very well so I'm not one to QQ

Personality type: ESFP
League: Bronze (in my defense, I have a 300+ bonus pool).
Race: Z
Total games: 50?
Do you have any Brood War experience: No
Do you feel personality types affects your Starcraft 2 experience and if so, why: Absolutely, I personally am afraid of failure, so ladder anxiety affects me a lot, yet when I actually lose it isn't that upsetting. I have a hard time evaluating where I went wrong when I lose games, and when I get into long macro games I get nervous about my opponent out-deathballing me (ironic cuz I have brood/infestor/ling and normally do just fine). Then I look at guys like Stephano, who are just 100% sure they will always win no matter what. I don't have anything productive to offer about why this is the case, but maybe someone good with psych could make a case.

Personality Type: INTJ
League: Diamond
Race: Protoss
Estimated total games: 300
Do you have any SC:BW experience: No
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: I would say personality types influence your style of play, approach to the game, and how you deal in pressured situations. Analyzing and comprehending your weaknesses and accepting it is they key to learning, and I think being able to do as such will allow you to perform better on the long run, even if you start slow.

Race: Terran
Estimated total games: over 900
Do you have any SC:BW experience: I only played the campaign.
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: Yes. Your personality type decides your style of play and the way you deal with losses.

Personality Type: ISFP
League: Master
Race: Zerg (but I have played all three races as master at one point or another)
Estimated total games: 6000+
Do you have any SC:BW experience: Nope
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: Well, apparently the thinking types dominate the higher leagues, so it would appear. I'd assume "thinking" types probably analyze their loses and improve much quicker. "Feeling" types can be prone to frusturation and tilt easier, maybe? I know I tilt a lot so thats why I have such a high game count relative to league :/

Is INTJ really that rare? Cause I got that and it would describe at least 20 people that I know

This guy pretty much nails it. You can't be telling your subjects what you want or they may change their answer, or in this case only answer, to make you happy. Another thing I might add is that very bright psychologists have historically struggled with things such as a personality test. There are somewhat unsettling issues with the concept as a personality in general. A person regarded as "moral" will oftentimes only be moral in certain situations and immoral in others. E.g. Won't roll through stop signs but will jay walk, won't steal from shops but will cheat on taxes.
All encompassing descriptors are rarely accurate when you take into account that people behave very different depending on the situation. So when you say a person is introverted or extroverted you may not be describing them accurately at all. A fantastic public speaker may be a horrible conversationalist one on one or in a small group or a person who is very boring initially may be very funny and charming the second or third time you meet with them. Even when a person considers them self as extro or introverted another person who is close to them may not think that at all.

Do you have any SC:BW experience: No
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: For me, not really. I don't get to play that often, as high school is keeping me busy, so when I do play I don't think my personality manifests itself ingame. I also don't have a problem hitting the Find Match button, even though it seems like introverts might.

Agreed, this whole thing is a giant self-fulfilling prophesy. Especially by saying that the INTP and INTJ are the strongest thinking types, you are discouraging anyone from admitting they are anything else and encouraging them to identify with one of the two types listed.

Personality Type: INTJ
League: Master
Race: Zerg
Estimated total games: 750~
Do you have any SC:BW experience: Yes, my entire life
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: I play zerg because of BW where you could do a lot of cool aggression/micro and tech switch really naturally, which I think the enjoyment of that is a product of the fact that I'm a relatively aggressive person. Though INTJ obviously has nothing to do with aggression, so yes to personality, no to personality 'type'.

No
Yes, i practice less than I should. I also go off spontaneity to win a match over reciting carefully planned build orders -- i prefer aggression, as I believe leading the game's tempo lets you have more control over the outcome.

Personality Type: ENTJ
League: Gold
Race: Zerg
Estimated total games: 935
Do you have any SC:BW experience: Almost non-existent as I toyed with it after I played SC2
Do you feel personality type effects your SC2 experience and if so, why: I don't think it has that much of an effect. I'm sure it has some as far as motivation to play, but I think anyone could sit down and improve at SC2. I think it's more will-power than it is personality and it's just something that anyone can buckle down and do if they put their minds to it.
