so i've been reading a great deal of psychology and Jung recently and decided to take a
Myers-Briggs test to see where i best fit and it seemed shockingly accurate.
Im curious as to which type of personality is most prevalent among gamers.

What Myers-Briggs Personality type are you
I've done a test like this a while back, can't remember the results though. Anyway the result is this:
INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.
Which indicator are you?
I was ISTJ
ISTJ - "Trustee". Decisiveness in practical affairs. Guardian of time- honored institutions. Dependable. 11.6% of total population.
ESTP - "Promotor".
Action! When present, things begin to happen. Fiercely competitive. Entrepreneur. Often uses shock effect to get attention. Negotiator par excellence. 4.3% of total population.
Think its right on actually. . .I am crazy competitive and love attention. Man of action not sure about but I have been known to get off the couch pretty damn fast when the pizza guy knocks.
INTJ Keirsey type "Mastermind" ~3% of population
i think being called a mastermind is pretty awesome...
It's interesting you brought this up, because the psych profiling in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is based on the Myers-Briggs test.

I was thinking the same, that game really fucks with your head.
Anyway, my result:
NFP - "Questor". High capacity for caring. Calm and pleasant face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 4.4% of total population.
INFP - "Questor". High capacity for caring. Calm and pleasant face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 4.4% of total population.
When I did the actual test at school, I was 100% introverted, and all my result were to the right side of the scale a significant amount. When I did this free one, I had similar results. Pretty good I guess.
INTP- much like my father who's a systems manager I'm interested in systems and how they work. Always want to understand the dynamics of something before feeling I truly understand it. In science class I would always get mad at teachers who couldn't explain exactly how it is that something is true because of course you were supposed to just accept everything as fact and not try to understand any of it.

Didn't expect that.

ok well the connections that are obvious is that gamers seem to have the NP trait which really sucks for game makers.
seems like gamers are also introverted aside from a few exceptions.
@Geno:
im not quite sure how much you really know about psych,
the foundations of almost every academic study have been claimed as "outdated" but almost all accepted findings are tangential of the founder. (aka Jung and the Myers-Briggs test)
" ok well the connections that are obvious is that gamers seem to have the NP trait which really sucks for game makers.I have the highest mark in 1000+ student classes in first and second year university psych; I'm not an expert but I know psych well enough to know that the Freudian and Jungian foundations have been discredited in academic psychology for about the past half century.

I used to have to take this for work every year. I was consistently an ENFP, and it got stronger every year.
They used to split us up into polar opposite groups and tell us to plan a party. My group would always have awesome stuff like a Moon Bounce, open bar, and tons of other needless but fun things. The other group (usually the highly organized introverts) would have a pretty lame party (at least by comparison) but they'd also have figured out ways to pay for everything, specifically where they would get the stuff, and all these other nitty gritty details. They'd completely freak out when they heard about our party--forgetting that it was PRETEND.
