Forgotten Tales

While debating about playing styles in another threads, I turned curious to know how FT players do spread out in Barte Test. Due to forum rules, I can't post a link to the test itself, but it's quite easy to find.
Basing on the version in 4you2learn site, my scoring is ESAK (87, 60, 47, 7).

Anyone wishing to share their scoring?

Quoting from wikipedia :: Richard Allan Bartle, FBCS FRSA, is a British writer, professor and game researcher, best known for being the co-creator of MUD1 (an early MUD) and the author of the seminal Designing Virtual Worlds. He is one of the pioneers of the massively multiplayer online game industry.

Bartle did research on player personality types in virtual worlds. In Bartle's analysis, players of virtual worlds can be divided into four types: achievers, explorers, socializers and killers. This idea has been adapted into an online test generally referred to as the Bartle Test, which is quite popular.

The result of the Bartle Test is the "Bartle Quotient", which is calculated based on the answers to a series of 30 random questions in the test, and totals 200% across all categories, with no single category exceeding 100%. For example, a person may score "100% Killer, 50% Socializer, 40% Achiever, 10% Explorer", which indicates a player who prefers fighting other players relative to any other area of interest. Scores are typically abbreviated by the first letter of each category, in order of the quotient. In the previous example, this result would be described as a "KSAE" result.

Here are my results: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=14000

EASK - 80/60/33/27 - seems about right

... and i like that you two are nearly identical lol

EASk
53/93/27/27

You are 87% Socialiser

What Bartle says:

♥ Socialisers are interested in people, and what they have to say. The game is merely a backdrop, a common ground where things happen to players. Inter-player relationships are important: empathising with people, sympathising, joking, entertaining, listening; even merely observing people play can be rewarding - seeing them grow as individuals, maturing over time. Some exploration may be necessary so as to understand what everyone else is talking about, and points-scoring could be required to gain access to neat communicative spells available only to higher levels (as well as to obtain a certain status in the community). Killing, however, is something only ever to be excused if it's a futile, impulsive act of revenge, perpetrated upon someone who has caused intolerable pain to a dear friend. The only ultimately fulfilling thing is not how to rise levels or kill hapless drips; it's getting to know people, to undertand them, and to form beautiful, lasting relationships.
You are also:

73% Explorer

40% Achiever

0% Killer

This result may be abbreviated as SEAK

ASKE

73, 60, 40, 27

I took 2 different versions of the test, the first was at this site but I felt the latter (and posted results) more accurately reflect my gaming style. The first test half the questions I would have answered "neither" or "both". The re-worded one I was able to fill out more naturally instead of having to ponder which I preferred most/least.

Could you send me that link in pm? I experienced similar thoughts about the first test.
