It's a pretty bad test. Most of the answers have reasonable motives that are outside the scope of the tested qualities.

The bot-thing is pretty frickin' annoying.

Description:

Best, first and most are the favorite adjectives of the Achiever. They love comparison not only against others, but also with themselves. They enjoy setting goals, surpassing previous performances and hitting new milestones. They tend to have lots of high scores, badges, trophies and other concrete evidence of their successful endeavors--and they love it if someone notices these. However many enjoy the quiet satisfaction of knowing they simply did better than most.
Secondary influences

    Achiever Killers like to be the best-of-the-best at everything the game has to offer including PvP. They often mock Killer tactics such as surprise and stealth as "ganking" because they prefer a more controlled arena where fighting skills can be compared in a straight forward manner. Achievers often look to 1v1 duels for proof of their superior play and are frustrated by "rock paper scissor" game mechanics because of this. Their prowess in PVP is generally supported by a large degree of understanding and possession of the best equipment and skills.
    Achiever Explorers are interested in the PvE aspect of a game more than anything else. The AE thrives as a solo adventurer, counting coup with each new destination and discovery, poking into every corner of a map and toying with each nuance of a game mechanic. AEs prefer not to be hampered by a group and usually find PvP to be more an annoyance than a feature.
    Achiever Socializers appreciate groups, clans or guilds for than just pure social fun. An AS relishes the camaraderie of cooperation within a top flight team, savoring the renown gained from successfully pitting themselves against the grand-challenges of a virtual world and attaining goals that cannot be reached as an individual.

Sounds like me. Don't like the focus on MMORPGs, I haven't played one of those in years, I think. Never liked 'em much anyway.

Could've used more choices, the bot was a sad attempt at wit, and every single person who took that test recently and signed up for that site got Achiever. Coincidence, I think not.

[Solifuge]

That test annoyed me. Commentary Bot aside, I'd like to see something similar that didn't base itself on MMORPGs, which I've only played long enough to realize how much I don't enjoy them.

With games (as well as fictional settings in general), I do tend to be more interested in the world and setting, and how it frames the characters and events.

I'm surprised I got so low on Socializer. I love challenge in games, but I play most multiplayer games in order to spend time with friends.

If you're talking about the list of people displayed on the results page, that list should've been titled "RECENT QUIZ RESULTS FOR ACHIEVERS". Definitely not a coincidence.

Well, I think its time to start my new career as a sucessful entrepreneur.

Or a Private Investigator.

Or arts analyst. You know, those guys that can tell the artist's blood type and prefered cereal after glancing at his painting.

[SalmonGod]

That gamer test was pretty horrible, because everything was in the context of MMOs.  Like half the questions I only answered the way I did because of the way MMOs tend to be vs other games.  Like I hate how the majority of them are like single-player games that happen to be played with other people.  No, I don't care about the pre-written stories.  I, along with all the other players, should BE the story.  If I wanted to play through a pre-written story, I would play a single-player game.  Thus, exploration ended up my lowest score.  Which would only be true when playing MMOs.

[alexandertnt]

There were quite a few questions in the gaming quiz where my honost response would have been "Stop playing this crap and do something else", so instead I was forced to pick an answer at random. My result is meaningless to me.

Top jobs: Continuous Mining Machine Operators, Derrick Operators, Oil and Gas, Logging Equipment Operators. 

[Jelle]

Gamer test was pretty dumb, to few answers to chose from. Regardless:

[Graknorke]

Now see this is absolute bullshit.
My psychology is based around power through social influence. But the test has no way to acknowledge that. There is achievement beyond getting ALL THE LEVELS you know.

All the good Science questions were answered 100 years ago... it's all just Engineering now.

[Solifuge]

Not true! All the good science questions are just getting really weird.

I missed breakfast today. Also, I need to get me some fruit. Otherwise, I think I did okay, all things considered. I think that Protein Percentage is off though. :I

EDIT: Fixed the protein thing. Apparently the USDA treats Lentil Soup as either a Vegetable or a Protein, but not both.
