Oooh thanks for the Space Sniffer link! This will come in handy as I get ready to upgrade to Windows 7 =)

ETA: Conqueror-Mastermind

[ladysisyphus.livejournal.com]

Mastermind-Seeker, baby! ...Even though none of the available categories really describe my true video gaming type, which is 'I'll try damn near anything if the story is worth it'.

That sounds like my play-style, and I got "Seeker" with a side-order of "Mastermind". (Hold the 'slaw.)

-- Steve saw this linked to a gaming web site at one point, and wasn't terribly surprised to see in its comments section that a lot of the enfants terrible in their forums leaned to "Conquerer" personalities.

Seeker-Conqueror. Hm.

I'm a Mastermind/ Achiever and am about to start yet another game of Civ IV!

Mastermind-achiever too. Apparently if we were animals we would be octopi.

My son pointed me to a similar test called the Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
