Starcraft Personality Test

[DemolitionSquid]

I don't know what I expected, but this is actually pretty damn interesting. Are you a psych major?

I'm actually an INTP, but yeah, I do respect the ESTPs.

I'm an INFJ, if anyone cares.

I don't know what I expected, but this is actually pretty damn interesting. Are you a psych major?

I'm actually an INTP, but yeah, I do respect the ESTPs.

Wow, I'm INTP, and I like Aldaris too. Weird. No, not a psych major. I like to figure things out for myself. All I need a degree for is getting a job normal people find willing to give me money for. I don't need no university mofos tellin' me how to think.

So how accurate was it overall?

And Demo, no spoilers! I want to judge you based solely on your characters, not on hints.

Favourite race: Protoss
Disliked race: Terran
Favourite characters: Tassadar, Aldaris, Abathur
Least favourite characters: Second Overmind (if it counts), Kerrigan (Heart of the Swarm), Amon, Zeratul (Brood War/SC2)

Oh wow. Um, you and Gradius are clones? Lol.

Anyway, I think you're too hard on Zeratul's Brood War form. I find it very logical, because Zeratul is an "operative" type. In Starcraft, he mostly does very specific things, such as killing a cerebrate or rescuing Tassadar. He's not into civillian leadership or mass military strategy. Thus, in Brood War, when he's expected to do more than just operative types of things, he has a hard time making decisions. That, and even the Brood War / SC2 Zeratul are very different.

Whatever, ranting over. Lemme think a minute.


Themes: Rational, punish the illogic, stubbornness, single-mindedness

Romance: Meet the Iceman. I can see you arguing technical points with women, scaring them off with your logic. You like to win arguments. Victorious arguments = failed relationships.

Typing: Well, if Gradius is INTP, you're INTJ. Probably. Possibly you're ENTJ. But I know for sure you're a J. Like Gradius, you like a character for how interesting they are, and also, how selfless. To you, it is logical to be selfless, at least in a universe threatened by war, where selfishness means broken alliances and doom. Argumentalism doesn't make you angry (unless the other person is stupid), but anyone who has a disagreement with you better be willing to talk it out or give up the point. Also like Gradius, you prefer the good over the emotionally pleasant.

Leadership: By knowledge. The trouble with very logical people is that each person only has so much talent, and making sure the logical people are socially lacking, God ensures that the world is not easily taken over by rational minds (vice versa with the socially capable people). Sure, you can get on people's nerves, but what those people are forced to admit is that you're very smart, and you cannot easily be ignored when there is a (non-emotional) decision to be made. By the by, this is probably the story of you when the apocalypse hits: (http://oddlydevelopedtypes.com/entj_survival).

Dislikes: Cheapness, illogic. If something doesn't make sense according to how you view things, it can make you really mad. Sure, logic covers a multitude of sins (that is, disagreements with the will of Lord FanaticTemplar), but when there is no sense, it will be plainly obvious to you. Things that are clearly incorrect astound you, and you can't understand why people persist in doing stupid things. Also, you may have an internal bias against hicks, whom you view as narrow-minded.

Personality Issues: As if it's not obvious by now, you're stuck on logic. Still, that's not the entirety of your being. You have lots of noble, good, and constructive ideas in you, but you feel strangled by the lack of listeners or opportunity to show off what's in your mind. You may have developed a very negative view of the world, depending on your circumstances. Either way, you do feel as if many people around don't know the real you, and it's frustrating.

Advice: It's okay, man. You've still got a lot of growing and understanding to do. If you absorb ideas and concepts for the next few years while keeping your heart from becoming bitter, you will come to a place where you are protected against reacting to illogic, and become able to gently convince people of your points. Some people will only listen to nice people, no matter how smart the annoying genius is.

Notes: Liking Protoss indicates a love of the ideal and glorious. Disliking humans can indicate a distance between oneself and those one perceives as normal. Tassadar, Aldaris, and Abathur are interesting decision makers who make choices first and ask questions later. SC2 Kerrigan/Zeratul, the second Overmind, and Amon are all plot devices rather than characters. They have no depth, and nothing for you to think about. Brood War Zeratul simply disagrees with your perceptions.


By the way, Gradius, if you scroll down the bottom of that page I suggested, you'll find the link see how our type survives the apocalypse.

Favorite race: Protoss
Disliked race: Terran
Favorite characters: Zeratul (SC1), Duran (SC1), Abathur
Least favorite characters: Stetmann. Fuck Stetmann. Also Selendis. What a waste.

Lol. You didn't think I'd notice you'd edited in Selendis, huh? And why the heck does everyone hate Terran?

Themes: Independence, secrets, hiding, original over cliche, rebellion.

Romance: Actually, yes. More so than the other guys, anyway. As much as you feel at home being by yourself, and you're not sure about marriage as a concept, you like the idea of being with the sort of person who will love you the way you want to be loved. As it is, you're not quite sure how to go about the whole romance thing.

Typing: You are a very independent person, and quite frankly, not very communicative. Sure, you talk to people and have fun talking, but there's a lot of stuff about yourself you just don't say. Sometimes this is a conscious choice, but many times you just don't feel the need to spread personal information about yourself unless you're really close to someone. You love confidence in other people, so long as it isn't arrogance. Depth is something you love, and figuring out things is fun for you. You also admire people who have strong personal abilities -- not the people who have built a large business or earned a lot of money, but rather people who in and of themselves are capable people. You also don't feel the need to talk a lot with people you admire. Just being around someone and say, reading a book is a form of socialization for you.

Leadership: You're not really a big leader, but rather a semi-independent follower. Sure, sometimes you can lead a small group for a specific project for a short period of time, but you don't really want to. You'd rather work alone, or maybe with a really awesome partner or two that's on your same level. Just so long as no one mistakes you for a grunt or a zealot, you're happy.

Dislikes: Tired, trite cliches. The last thing you want is to be like everyone else, or to be labelled into a little box. You also hate it in other people when they get caught up by one specific idea and can't break out of it. Especially if it's a dumb idea. Basically, you hate narrow-mindedness. You have very little patience with those kinds of people. Shallow people who are easy to read don't interest you.

Personality Issues: Due to a lack of patience, you can sometimes judge a person too harshly, even though they're just some harmless schlub. Also, even though you're plenty intelligent, you sometimes avoid stepping into leadership positions or taking important risks. You're not likely going to end up a manager of a store. Well, not that you'd particularly want to.

Advice: It's okay to cut the doofuses some slack. Sometimes when people are dumb, you just have to brush it off and move on. Sometimes even people's dumb opinions are logical in origin, meaning it makes sense why they believe it. Don't trivialize people, and take some dang risks, already. Exercise that talent! Also, ask the girl out. The biggest dating flaws a guy will commit often involve talking themselves out of asking a girl out.

Notes: Liking Protoss signifies a love of ideals and difference. Hating of Terran indicates a dislike of the normal. Zeratul, Duran, and Abathur all have secrets, and avoid telling others about themselves right away. Stetmann is the nerdiest of all nerd cliches, and Selendis is nothing more than a spouter of Protoss one-liners. Bo-ring.

Romance: Actually, yes. More so than the guys, anyway. As much as you feel at home being by yourself, and you're not sure about marriage as a concept, you like the idea of a guy sweeping you off your feet and being the sort of person who will love you the way you want to be loved. As it is, you're not quite happy with the current selection of guys around you.

I'm male.

[Gradius]

I'm male.

She knows. :P

By the way, Gradius, if you scroll down the bottom of that page I suggested, you'll find the link see how our type survives the apocalypse.

"INTPs have the best survival plans of all types. Unfortunately, they won't act on them until it's too late. "

Ain't that the truth. And yes, the INTJs will die first. :P

[Robear]

He knows. :P

IIRC Nissa is not a he. :P

[Nissa]

I'm male.

Whoops, sorry, I thought somewhere you said you were a girl. Here, let me see if I can't edit the entry for you. Oh and Gradius, I'm female by the by.

Internet sucks at genders...

Its a well known fact there are no women on the internet.

GIRL = Guy In Real Life

If you are indeed female, I'll require proof in my inbox.

Anyway, I think you're too hard on Zeratul's Brood War form. I find it very logical, because Zeratul is an "operative" type. In Starcraft, he mostly does very specific things, such as killing a cerebrate or rescuing Tassadar. He's not into civillian leadership or mass military strategy. Thus, in Brood War, when he's expected to do more than just operative types of things, he has a hard time making decisions.

Oh, you must have read one of my numerous rants on how Zeratul is an absolute idiot for letting Kerrigan go at the end of The Stand .

That, and even the Brood War / SC2 Zeratul are very different.

Somewhat different, true, but I think Brood War Zeratul is closer to his StarCraft II incarnation than the original version. Most importantll however is that, despite what I've written above, my true annoyance with post-StarCraft Zeratul is how they pretty much made him a main character. In Brood War that role should have been filled by Artanis. In StarCraft II, Zeratul shouldn't even have appeared this much yet. Overexposure is the death knell for characters built on being mysterious. Remove the mystery, and what do you have left? In the case of Brood War/StarCraft II Zeratul, not that much.

Disliking humans can indicate a distance between oneself and those one perceives as normal.

May also have something to do with being told since I started watching professional StarCraft that Protoss is an inferior and skilless race, especially by Terrans like Idra and Artosis. And that the Summer of 1/1/1 was perfectly balanced and the only reason Terran was dominating and Protoss getting clobbered was because players with skill chose to play Terran and all Protoss players were terrible.

Might be more nurture than nature here, is what I'm getting at .

Tassadar, Aldaris, and Abathur are interesting decision makers who make choices first and ask questions later.

Might be worth noting that I like Aldaris mostly because he represents a redemption story, and I've always been fond of those. Also, he's one of only two characters in StarCraft to really undergo character development over the course of the story.

Brood War Zeratul simply disagrees with your perceptions.

Well, he disagreed at the time. By the end of Brood War I'm pretty sure even he would admit that I was correct .
