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.

I also did the famous leader test. The results are unexpected. The result is the most accurate of 45 questions.

@PenguinDust: thanks for the link
 
not quite surprising that an SJ is the majority but it is quite amazing that INTP is runner up.
 
this probably fits into the Nintendo E3 press conference when they said "NEVER!"

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.

That's mine to. My description was a little different but wouldn't you agree that you look at the world as a set of systems that can be understood?

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.

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 hate these kinds of tests. The questions they ask always end up with me going "Well, this is very accurate most of the time, but sometimes it's not accurate at all" or "I really don't know" or "Be more specific, dammit", so I never properly finish them.

Chalk up another for INTJ here. Looks like that "Personal/Professional Development" BS class everyone around here had to take in high school actually had some use to it after all.

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.
