Tell me how you play video games. For science!

Hey all,

I've made a survey that tells you what type of gamer personality you are. Are you an Immersion Engineer, or an Escape Artist? Do you battle with real people or seclude to the shadows in a world of your own making?

The reason why I made it is to gather research on people's gaming behaviours. This study for my masters thesis at The University of Sydney. Now as a gamer myself (WoW Heroic Antorus Raider), I feel like I have a good grasp of the gaming community, but as with all things, you need to do the research to confirm/disconfirm these assumptions.

The survey itself is looking to explore information about:
• Different aspects of your personality
• What video games you play
• How much you play by yourself and with other people
• The impacts of your video game use on your daily life

You can find a link to the survey and more information here (you might need to disable adblocker):

So let me know what you think. Do you think I guessed right? What did I miss?

One more thing. A survey like this is limited, and doesn't give people a voice to add what they want to say. I really encourage open opinions about the video game community and maybe how the news and public have a negative view of video games. Whenever I present, I add the personal messages people have sent me to encourage other researchers to remember that we are people too, not just numbers. Tell me what you think and let me know if I can share your comments in my presentations.

Thank you,
Gavin

The reclusive tactician one seems fairly accurate to me, but I'm a little unsure about the escape artist tag. The title itself is probably accurate but the description struck me as off a little bit, because I feel that when I become stressed I become fairly predictable instead of spontaneous, and while I may be good at noticing when I feel down, I don't necessarily know what to turn to to improve it. (Not to mention gaming isn't usually what I'd use to escape but whatever)
 
I got Reclusive Tactician and Mayhem Mystic, first one is already on here. The other one is; ready to play the next new game, have more fun with games than most, more ready to use prior gaming instincts/skills than to try learn new difficult ones and need to abandon habits to have an adaptive play style.

Did this on my phone so I'm not posting images.
 
I got Clan Lord and Immersion Engineer (i'll post the latter since i don't think anyone has gotten it yet):

disagree a little with champion of glory since I use games more to prevent bad moods rather than improve on good ones. everything else seems accurate

I figured someone would get that second one eventually but it hasn't popped up so here it is
