Type of Gamer test

Fun test at http://www.mygamemug.com/. I got this as a result, which I guess is partly true.

The Cyberathlete
Deliberate Competitive Serious Veteran (DCSV)
Highly competitive with great reflexes, you are the Cyberathlete. Given the chance, you would not hesitate to play video games professionally. You enjoy the workout and becoming the best. Contenders like 'Fatal1ty' are among your most respected 'sports' players.

Perhaps someday you will achieve stardom in the growing pro-gaming leagues in the West. For now, we recommend that you move to Korea immediately so you can compete ... if you haven't already.

You play competitively on the PC, but given recent rises in online capabilities of gaming consoles, you may give console gaming a second thought. Your serious devotion to gaming, however, might alienate you from the rest of the world. Sure, players will look up to you as demi-gods, but your thirst for serious competition will occasionally limit your potential opposition. That's all right, though - you're the best and want to play the best.

The Young Urban Gamer
Reckless Competitive Fun Learner (RCFL)
Rowdy, socially competitive, and fun - you are the Young Urban Gamer. You play games to relieve stress and to gain some quick excitement.

When you're not busy with work or school, you just want to have fun. For you, this can be achieved many ways, but video games are the easiest when you're really bored. While social in 'real life', you try to avoid spending *too* much time playing cooperative video games, especially when the alternative means blasting your friends or total strangers to death with some alien weapon.

You enjoy or will be interested in the genre of first-person shooters; they are easy to pick up and competitive enough for you to have fun. Just be sure it's a free-for-all since you're more of a loner and lose patience with teammates. You prefer to only learn a few games, since playing or learning too many will take too much time and you don't want to be a nerd. Fear not -- developers have taken notice to this popular segment and have designed terrific games specifically for you.

The Social Butterfly
Reckless Sociable Fun Learner (RSFL)
Let's face it - if your friends didn't play video games, you probably wouldn't. To you, the Social Butterfly, gaming is about spending time with your friends - they want to do it, so you'll jump right in. But that doesn't make you a slacker - you're good at gaming and find it cool when you're bored. But, if something better comes along or you have to work, you easily move on.

You play the games your friends show you. Your buddy needs a partner to help kill a dragon? - Why not? They need one more teammate for an FPS match? - No problem. And after we're all done, we can all go out and have some real fun!

Pretty true actually

The Helping Hand
Deliberate Sociable Fun Veteran (DSFV)
Generous, helpful, kind...a few of many positive attributes people see in you, the Helping Hand. Nothing satisfies you more than helping your teammates or friends out in all the games that you play. You may even look to assist people in some cases if there is no one around asking for help. In fact, the enjoyment that you receive from helping people rivals that of solving a puzzle, winning a battle, or achieving a hard objective in a game.

Heavily social intensive games tend to be what you enjoy the most although you can probably find something to take pleasure in with most games. For instance, if you happen to find yourself in a competitive first person shooter, you'd probably take the support class. We recommend you stick to games (and crowds!) where people will appreciate you more; these include more casual gamers seeking fun and excitement from games rather than the serious competitive ones.

Can't say that i find most very accurate although
last line after the ; sign does hit pretty close to the mark turning more casual by the years!

It said Narg was sociable... To me it lost all credibility after that

The Game Guru
Deliberate Competitive Fun Veteran (DCFV)
Your knowledge of gaming knows no bounds, Game Guru. You are the person many gamers go to when they have questions and generally most of the time, you have the right answers for them. You are unlikely to tie yourself into just playing one game, as it limits your expertise and experience you may gain from play others. It seems you love to learn everything about games, - the characters, the secrets, the developer, etc. Perhaps you should start a blog if you haven't already.

You typically don't like to hang around too long within a game and therefore avoid the more socially demanding ones. Playing quick rounds or small sessions are more your cup of tea. Once you've had your fun, it's back to the magazines, gaming blogs, forums, and the like where you can share your vast knowledge of all things video games.

The Game Master
Deliberate Sociable Serious Veteran (DSSV)
As the GM, you are the most committed and responsible. You have gained many friends through all your games, and they highly respect your abilities and experience. Although you can be a pretty hardcore gamer, you act online just like you do in real life - mature and sociable. We like that - so please don't change.

You are typically elected the leader when a game requires it; so don't hesitate to take control. Your style and finesse are needed, even if you rather not. Why settle for someone else who sucks leading the team?

You love games and play across the board with different people in different genres. Game Masters are the easiest to match, since you are easy-going enough to handle the extreme gamers and still have fun.

kinda like what i got

Think it fits pretty well, but I would never play a healer since I'm not very caring about people trying to kill themself!!

The Class Clown
Reckless Sociable Fun Veteran (RSFV)
Why is everyone taking games so seriously? They should lighten up -- it's your job to entertain and mix it up. Your philosophies: rules are made to be broken and games are your playground. The more the better - you're a crowd pleaser and enjoy all the attention to your antics!

You're an old hand at games - you know exactly what games are the best to showcase your talents. You love being creative, so games that let you cut loose and express yourself are winners. Tight games that restrict your movement, are too competitive, and have too many rules make you suffocated and grasping for air.

Your job in most games is clear: show everyone how to have fun and not take life too seriously. After all, it IS just a game right? Most people love you for your antics, some despise it, but screw them - they just don't know how to have fun. Class Clowns are highly sought after in guilds or clans, but watch out, add too many and your community will be a joke

I like.

Heh, I guess that's quite accurate.

The Wildcard
Reckless Competitive Serious Learner (RCSL)
You are the unpredictable gamer - the Wildcard. You love to play competitively but your actions usually confuse and occasionally annoy those around you. This usually includes bending a few rules or game play mechanics when necessary. We would like to think of it as being "creative".

You look to only play one or two games at a time and mastering them in your own unique way. Challenging games tend to suit you best as they provide the best outlets for your creative freedom. People who play with you usually have mixed reviews on your personality and/or play-style. But you shouldn't care much for any of them. As long as you're having fun right?

The Terminator
Reckless Competitive Serious Veteran (RCSV)
You are the Terminator - you MUST win at any cost. You leave your friends in the dust. While others are out having fun, you're accomplishing those impossible missions. Discovering those secrets that take hours. You'll buy as many games as possible to become the best.

After you're done obliterating games as a single player, you take your domination to the online world. A sense of pleasure arises as you become the top scorer in every game you play - the more competitive it is, the better. If you happen to find people better than you, it doesn't faze you. Move on to beat everyone inferior first. Then go back and destroy your opponents with your new skills. No hurry. Especially when you enjoy stomping everyone who gets in your way.

Once you master every aspect of a game, the mission is complete. Time to move on to the next challenge. Old games will sit on your shelf collecting dust like trophies, reminders of your victories. Most games will appeal to you, across all genres. Teamwork annoys you, though, since it doesn't let you conquer all. But if your team is from Skynet as well, you'll have a blast.
