General Discussion

I started thinking about this yesterday and was immediately interested in how the Bartle test might compare to RL. Many of us have distinct playstyles, game choices, etc...my assumption is that the Bartle Test will lend itself to a very good outline of what careers ppl are in also.

What I would like is for ppl to go to this link http://www.guildcafe.com/zQuest.php , take the test. (It is like 30-35 question). Copy your results and come back here and post them with the following information:

I doubt you will see much correlation between careers and bartle tests since people will use different approaches to accomplish the same task.  Some people are approach science as an exploration, some will appraoch is as achievement or a social thing.  Same thing with sales for some its competition, for some its purely social, for some its a way to explore the state of the world, for others its just plain cutthroat.  Each one will give insight into the world of sale or marketing or whatever.

Probably you would see a good correlation between how they do their job and bartle.

Field - Care

Title - Manager/trainer

Be interesting to see how this all comes out .

Oh believe me I do not expect it to be all inclussive.

But I do expect it to to create some interesting trend-lines. And I would venture to say that a higher percentage of ppl in certain career fields will tend to have similiar Bartle Test scores. Of course this is just a hypothesis, but I need data to prove it.

Regardless, the info gathered will be interesting nonetheless....

SAEK players enjoy socializing more than anything else, but they also like to achieve the goals within the game. Often, the increase in social status that comes with defeating a powerful foe or finding a unique treasure is more important than the achievement itself. They also enjoy being part of a team that tries to accomplish great deeds, often finding as much satisfaction in the success of the group as with oneself.
