Civ Players and Personality Tests

[lassia]

It is Jungian, it is therfore is part of psychodynamic theory and because of this it is psudoscience in my oppinion.

Which means it doesn't always give a correct result. It nevertheless can give you valuable insight about yourself. This page for example fits me amazingly well!

ISTP(10 char)

Given that INTJ is one of the rarer types (if not the rarest), I'd say that we have a grossly distorted sample of the population here.
Or maybe a little bit of selective reporting, or misreporting.

 

[lassia]

It's more likely for INTJs to underreport than overreport because of the introvert part. It actually quite makes sense. INTJs are planners. Civilization is a huge planning game.

 

[Brighteye]

I suspect that on an anonymous forum a character type that is known to be hard to know and to have a facade would have no qualms about admitting this.

 

[Mischief]

Your type is: INTJ

You are:
* slightly expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* distinctively expressed thinking personality
* distinctively expressed judging personality

Still they won't become more extrovert than the already extrovert, would they?

Of course there will be a overrepresantation of INTJs and INTPs, because other personality types have a Real Life.

INTP by the way.

INTP. I took a personality test at school. =]

INTP by the way.

But "Real Life" is a myth invented by other types to persecute us!

 

[Zarn]

I'm ENFJ. I didn't take the test, because I have taken it a lot before.

I didn't vote, because I no longer play Civ, but I use to play whenever I had the chance.

 

[Kennigit]

I think this test wasn't very good for assessing personality. Anyway, I got ESTJ. Looking at the job screen though for my personality, it does fit a bit better than I thought it would have. Engineering and Military, what I've long thought about and plan on pursueing, are there.

I would say large majority of CFCers would get TJ at end.

 

[nihilistic]

I took that kind of tests before, and the results of this one does not surprise me:

INTP
* very expressed introvert
* very expressed intuitive personality
* very expressed thinking personality
* slightly expressed perceiving personality

 

[BCLG100]

ENFP

* very expressed extravert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* moderately expressed feeling personality
* slightly expressed perceiving personality

My career options i found quite good, especially 'Recreation Specialist' seems like the job for me, im doing it all the time just not getting paid to do so!

Apparantly im a Champion Idealist, ahwell off to take the IQ test that tells me mine is 207 just to buck me up for the day

INTJ. Interestingly enough I took this test in ninth grade in a class of about 25. I was the only one to get that designation and nonbody else was even close to mine, yet on this forum it is very common. I guess this forum attracts a certain type of personality.

 

[Hehehe]

I'm INTJ

Well, it seems like most civ players are thinking, wich makes sense. Also majority seems to be inuitive. According to Carl Jung's theories they are creative, seems logical (perhaps CIV requires crative thinking?). But most of civfanatics seem to be introverts? Why is that? hmmm.... Maybe extroverts are partying?

(I'm ignoring all possible inaccuracies)

 

[searcheagle]

How infrequently can you play Civ and still vote?

Does SMAC count?

If you played it for a least a month and consider it a good game or one of your favorite games, you can participate in the poll.

Please do not count SMAC (Althougth it sounds similar). I would like to keep the poll to Civ alone.

This was the result that I expected to show up. My personality type is also INTJ. I turned one of my friends onto Civ as well. He too, has a INTJ personality, and enjoys playing civ. Based on that, and the profiles that I read, I expected to see a pretty different result in the civ population that in the general population.

For example, my type represents 2.1% of the population, but a significantly higher percentage in the poll.
