A post on Indigo Static talks about the BrainHex test. It seems interesting. It genuinely seems to try to categorize what sort of gamer you are.
Here’s my results:
Your BrainHex Class is Mastermind.
Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Mastermind-Achiever.
You like solving puzzles and devising strategies as well as collecting anything you can collect or doing everything you possibly can.
Each BrainHex Class also has an Exception, which describes what you dislike about playing games. Your Exceptions are:
ยป No Mercy: You rarely if ever care about hurting other players’ feelings – mercy is for the weak!Learn more about your classes and exceptions at BrainHex.com.
Your scores for each of the classes in this test were as follows:
Mastermind: 20
Achiever: 15
Survivor: 11
Daredevil: 9
Seeker: 8
Conqueror: 6
Socialiser: 1
Hahaha! No mercy!
I guess the survey interpreted my disdain for playing with unknown people over the net as me being merciless. Actually, I like playing multiplayer, only if they are in the same room. I have hosted Wii parties at home when my parents are out a few times a few times back and they were a blast! You only need Wii Sports, Wii play and 2 sets of controllers. I have not yet had PS3 parties, but I can imagine a bunch of us having mini Street Fighter tournaments for both Street Fighter 4 and Street Fighter 2 HD Remix. That would be cool as well.
I guess that merciless remark about me is true. Even when same-room multiplayer gaming, I don’t give any quarter to my opponent. It’s not that I am out to humiliate them. I don’t want them to give me any quarter as well. It’s a bit lame to win because your opponent gave you chances. Of course, all of us aren’t experts in the games we play so it is somewhat of a level playing field.
Yes, I love to solve puzzles. Maybe that’s why I am such an RPG buff. I don’t know about the “devising strategies” part. I am absolute sh*t in RTS games, except maybe Red Alert 2. But I do like empire-building games and trying out ways how to win a boss-fight in RPGs.
I like to do personality tests like these. Of course, it is because I am insecure about my own self. I know myself better than my own parents. I am just curious to see how accurate the test is. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality test was spot on when I took it. It was so accurate about how I feel, it’s unnerving.
This gaming aptitude test seems pretty accurate too. It’s not as precise, because there can be different meanings to certain terms in games, like my example above about multiplayer which can be with friends or over the Internet, usually using a service. It’s quite cool. If you like to play games, do try it out!
