Starcraft Personality Test

[AngryMatt]

Oh my bleeping son of a bleep.

Y'all, seriously, I do have a life. I can't spend all day doing these things. Don't post any more on these forums, Matt. I really just wanted this to be something for the forums, because there's not too many people here.

I'll prolly do some more tonight, but I'm at a friend's house, so be patient. These things really do take a while.

Sorry...but tks anyway!

You like VALERIAN? Oh, I am judging you so hard right now.

Hey guys, one of the reasons why I do this is to get feedback and see how right or wrong I am in analyzing people. So please, tell me how I did. That'd be helpful.

By the way, Matt, I'm going to start with the people who are signed up here before getting to your two guys.

That sounds interesting.

My favorite race: Zerg.
My disliked race: UED, Conclave.
My three favorite characters: The First Overmind>Zeratul>Sarah(Infested Terran & Primal Zerg).
My three least favorite characters: Gerard DuGalle>Jim Raynor>Edmund Duke.

Thanks for your analysising.

You're welcome. The UED and Conclave aren't races, but I'll let it slide.

Themes: individuality, self assertion, independence, determination, shadowy, individual morality over protecting society.

Romance: Sort of, but not in the classic sense. You're more of a dark person, and anyone who is with you is going to have to have a darker, somewhat sarcastic view of life as well, so that the both of you can make fun of the serious/idealistic aspects of life together. Basically, you want someone you have a connection with, and you're not really interested in sensitive girls. You prefer someone very assertive.

Typing: You are absolutely not an idealistic type of person, at least in the normal sense. In fact, you sometimes mock idealistic, "imperialistic" things. You root for the underdog, hate organized religion, and prefer small villages to great civilizations. Your sense of individualism is not redneck in nature -- "you can have yours so long as you don't mess with mine" -- but rather more like a rebel's -- "I will destroy your institution should it violate my personal principals of morality". You prefer gaining things for yourself rather than expecting someone else to do it for you, and if you can't attain something, you go without and don't complain. I'm guessing you're an ENFJ or an INFJ.

Leadership: Sure, but generally you only lead people who think like you do. You're not a Rational (think Myers Briggs), and so your valuing of emotion over logic repels many intellectuals, while your grim, pessimistic worldview repels many classic idealists. However, that's more "large scale" leadership, which would come into play if you were a leader of many and influencing people based purely on your ideas. For day to day leadership positions, like school projects or work assignments, you generally just work to get things done. You're an efficient leader, who is good at balancing a good job without being an obsessive perfectionist. People like working for you in this way, because they get to show their individual skills and you never micromanage or nag them.

Dislikes: The statement "it's for the greater good" really gets on your nerves, as you expect that to be an excuse for poor behavior. You also can't stand it when people complain about their lives. Everyone's got hardships, so being a victim doesn't make anyone special. As a reverse to that, you admire people who overcome their hardships to gain what they desire. Those that blindly follow the machinations of others are idiots to you.

Personality issues: The trouble with your destructive, negative worldview is that it's not constructive. It doesn't lift anyone up, create economic opportunities, or encourage the depressed. In fact, depending on your actions, it can be very devastating to yourself and others, leading them in ways that only inspire bitterness and strife. You're very good at arguments, but not so good at ending them peacefully.

Advice: Apply your skills to good. Remember, it's foolish to destroy something purely because you hate it. Either there needs to be a replacement for the institution you dislike (society isn't as independent as you, and economics works when people work together), or a way for people to recover when said institution is gone. Good is not the lack of evil, but rather the existence of things that bless others. That's why people can be happy even in imperfect societies.

Notes: Liking of Zerg implies humor and non-idealism. Disliking the UED and Conclave indicates a hate of institutions, imperialism. The Overmind, Zeratul, and Infested Kerrigan are all characters who decide for themselves what they want to do, and go for it with absolute determination. They obey no one but themselves -- even Zeratul's respect for Raszagal is purely voluntary on his part, as she doesn't appear to control him, but let him do as he wants.

As opposed to DuGalle, Raynor, and Duke, whose goals are not at all clear, not even to themselves. They also obey things that are not themselves. DuGalle is bound by his duty to Earth. Raynor is bound by his sense of morality and lack of self-confidence. Duke cares more about surviving than achieving anything, even to the point of being willing to serve someone who very obviously sees other people as tools.

Thank you!

Bah, you're welcome. I better dang get some free cookies out of this.

Themes: Hero! Forthrightness, justice, clarity over ambiguity.

Romance: Absolutely. You're lovable, cuddly, and care very much about women (assuming you're a dude). You're in touch with your sensitive side, and while you can be described as a little dorky, there's no reason why you can't date. Unless you're one of those wimpy guys that never asks anyone out. Seriously, if you talk to girls long enough, they'll be interested.

Typing: ESFP? ESTP? Something very friendly but not tolerant of bad things. You have a strong view of how life should be, and strong words for those that see selfish means as legitimate reasons to screw up society. You're also a very obvious person. You don't have dark secrets or inner wounds that are so devastating that you can't speak of them to others. Actually, you're really open, and don't mind sharing some of your dark side if it helps you understand others, and others understand you. You like to be surrounded by people who are fun, cool, and relaxed. You're not a literary personality.

Leadership: Sure. You can see where people are useful and know how they should perform to finish a task. Or can learn to. Your way of leadership is emotional, meaning you can get people to follow you if they feel that you sympathize with them. This won't work with everyone, but it will work with enough people to matter. It really hinges on how mature you are and how much you've learned to observe others. You're better at motivation than strategy.

Dislikes: You hate being tricked or lied to. You believe in fair fights, and when someone cheats or uses a clever tactic you didn't think of, that pisses you off. You hate being around those that stress out about details, or don't hear you out, or make you feel unintelligent.

Personality issues: You're not all that great at telling when people lie, and you don't really have a lot of tolerance for strong opposing worldviews. Not that a strong personality is a problem for you, or even someone who disagrees. But when they're both at the same time, plus unwilling to listen, it's hard for you to put up with them. While you want to like everyone, there are plenty of people you find unlikable. Now if only they would listen to you!

Advice: Be more flexible, and let go. Sometimes people are just going to disagree, and there's no point in getting upset about it. Getting upset is something that pleases the people you dislike being around, and they use it as "proof" that they're better than you (or so it may seem). Avoid such people until you can stop being paranoid about their intentions. Most of the time, such people aren't trying to attack you. And even if they are, don't focus on them. Focus on people who are cool, constructive, and fun. Also, it helps to show tolerance to intolerable people. They crave respect and esteem, and giving it to them makes them listen to you.

Notes: Liking Protoss implies idealism, good ideals, quests for better. Disliking none means liking and accepting many. Horner, Tassadar, and Fenix are all optimistic good guys, who, despite all odds, pursue good no matter what is ahead of them or how bad things may seem. Duke, Kerrigan, and Niadra are all selfish bad guys who give up on optimism to do whatever they please. Duke trades concern for others for his own personal survival and esteem, Kerrigan is fearful of her past and believes only in revenge, and Niadra too easily accepts separation from the Swarm to go on her quest to kill 'Toss.

Ugh, I feel like poo.

Okay, I will do the two people I have left to analyze, but guys, let me say this. Part of the reason why I do this is to get feedback. Basically, I'd like you to say something about how accurate what I said about you is. And yes, cursing me out for implying weird things about your character does count as feedback.

For now, I'm going to chill and hope my head stops hurting. Be back later.

[DemolitionSquid]

Well your assessment of me was pretty spot on. Not sure what else I could say. Except I fear no woman, and thus your statement to "ask the girl out" was incredibly off-putting.

Ah, sorry. Well, nothing I said was meant to be taken personally.

Also, I have kind of a chip on my shoulder about cowardly guys. It's so easy to find a good girl and get dates, and they can't muster up the courage to talk to a girl. Talking to women respectfully and sensitively is the secret to never being alone.

Favorite race: Protoss
Disliked race: None
Favorite characters: Tassadar, Fenix, Warfield
Least favorite characters: Duke, Kerrigan, Raynor

Themes: straightforwardness, boldness, determination, ultimate optimism, light over dark, confidence over desperation.

Romance: You're somewhat romantic, but you have some trouble in this area. You want to have a great relationship, but have trouble expressing sensitivity at the right time. You're the sort of guy that shows up at her door with flowers and chocolates, only to find out that she's upset about something you didn't realize.

Typing: You're probably extroverted. I'm guessing an ESTP. You're probably not fond of reading books, as you would rather do things than sit down for hours with your head in the clouds. You're not a complicated person at all, and you like being around friendly people who see the things the same way you do. While you can be determined about protecting who and what you love, you're not always the most serious person. Though you have high expectations for yourself, and you generally only do things you believe in.

Leadership: Yes, very much. Your drive and determination, as well as disdain for drama, means that you like to concentrate on the job at hand. You do care about people too, so if you sense there is a problem with your team, you like to try and work it out if you know how to. For you a job is not simply something you do for money, but rather a way for you to accomplish a greater purpose or goal.

Dislikes: You do not sympathize with desperate people. Too often they use their circumstances to justify bad ideas, and that doesn't sit well with you. You also hate working a job where you can't work on something which goes along with what you believe in, or working on something that proves ultimately useless.

Personality issues: You're too idealistic. There is a dark side to everyone, if they allow it to show. As it is, you have trouble with disagreements and seeing things through perspectives other than your own, and while you don't mind showing sensitivity when necessary, you don't always know how to solve disagreements with other people when these disagreements arise out of how to accomplish something rather than on an emotional basis.

Advice: Make sure you listen to others, so that you have an understanding of their opinion. Even if you don't agree with them or have no intention of putting their opinion into action, people will respect you more if they know that you will at least hear them out.

Notes: Your liking of Protoss indicates idealism and optimism. Disliking no one means you don't wish bad things on other people. Tassadar, Fenix, and Warfield are all optimistic, simplistic (from a literary perspective), and full of passion. Duke, Kerrigan, and Raynor are complicated characters who are often in situations of desperation, and are never fully in control of their surroundings, despite a desire to do so.

I used to be nervous around girls, actually most people, because I'm incredibly ugly yet brilliant, so pretty much everyone bullied me. But I eventually realized you can't reasonably hate someone for something they have little to no control over, which is why racism or sexism makes no logical sense, yet its perfectly valid to criticize someone on their religious or political beliefs because they choose that path. Once I simply accepted what I couldn't change and stopped caring what anyone else thought of me, combined with the natural maturation and acceptance of the populace post high school, I was able to open up enough to function in society even though I'm still an introvert. Which makes my tale so very common, it seems.
