I took the same test a while back: E87 S60 A40 K13
Pretty close to what I would’ve guessed.

*cough* Err yes, and here’s the actual sig. I wobble between E and S as top scores. K is consistently low. A depends somewhat on my mood that year.

The “broad strokes” is what that Bartle thing is all about, at least to me. Just as the basic Jungian types (introvert/extravert etc) are broad strokes, in that 2 extraverts aren’t necessarily anything like each other, and we’re all composites etc.

That said, my Bartle thing I did lately also seemed relatively representative of me, which is why I’m using it for a sig for a while. If nothing else, it’ll explain to people why I’m not likely to want to join their raid guild, and why I’m not really that into PvP (even WAR’s improved kind).

That said, some people you just can’t please. There are acquaintances to whom I explain on a regular basis that I don’t LIKE to raid and I don’t particularly enjoy being in dungeons, for a host of reasons, and they keep telling me “Oh if we make you do it, you’ll like it.”

Did I mention I’m hellishly contrary?

I took the test through GamerDNA once.
E:80% S:60% K:60% A:0%

The final number may explain why I burn out awful quickly on most MMOs.
