Had a friend take a personality test and was curious what kind of personalities EVE Online attracts. There are sixteen MBTI types which are sometimes used to help people decide which careers and college majors might suit their preferences. Perhaps it could help players decide their roles in corps. Post your type after taking the test here: www.ipersonic.com. or here: http://16typequiz.com/quiz.html


The Analytical Thinker (Well Duh Big smile )

That site scratches the surface but seems to come close to the right conclusions. I've taken many a personality test and psych exam (in my job, psych re-evals are a yearly thing, and can happen more often for certain instances like a use-of-force issue). I love MBTI type test.

I always test out as an INTJ (introversion, intuition, Thinking, Judging) and like most INTJs I can't STAND some of the other types lol. i've met many EVE players I would tag as INTJs (or some sort of TJ), and (to get all EVE-ish) a lot of the people I argue with tend to be "FP"s. The world is big enough for everyone, but I wish those FP types would just F completely off Twisted.


I tend to bump heads with the heavy Ts. Especially INTJs. I personally can't trust something that doesn't feel.

I can understand that. I think F type CEOs with a team T type directors would make an interesting corp make up though.

Based on your answers, your personality type is most likely:
ISFP

Your first preference is toward introversion, which means that you get your energy from interacting with your rich inner world. You tend to be reflective and contemplative. You likely prefer to have a few close friends instead of many acquaintances.

Your second preference is for sensation. Sensors are pragmatic, precise people who are very detail oriented. Instead of looking at the big picture first, Sensors concentrate on specifics. They highly value experience and often have an excellent memory.

Your third preference is for feeling. Feeling, in this sense, has little to do with emotion. Feelers look for the subjective qualities in a situation that give it meaning and importance. Feelers are often less concerned with precise facts and more about what's right and wrong.

Your fourth preference is for perceiving. Perceivers are flexible and spontaneous, working in spurts of energy instead of pursuing strict deadlines. You often wait to make decisions in order to take in new information.

(Im a miner lol)

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

The Harmony-seeking Idealist

Harmony-seeking Idealists like you are characterised by a complex personality and an abundance of thoughts and feelings. You are a warm-hearted person by nature. You are sympathetic and understanding. Harmony-seeking Idealists expect a lot of themselves and of others. You have a strong understanding of human nature and you are a good judge of character. But you are mostly reserved and confide your thoughts and feelings to very few people you trust. You are deeply hurt by rejection or criticism. Harmony-seeking Idealists find conflict situations unpleasant and prefer harmonious relationships. However, if reaching a certain target is very important to you you can assert yourself with a doggedness bordering on obstinacy.

The Dreamy Idealist
Recommend this test:
Dreamy Idealists like you are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. You share your rich emotional life and your passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge you to be cool and reserved. You have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for which you are willing to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have been good examples of your personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains to improve the world. You can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand up for them. You are interested in your fellow beings, attentive and generous towards them. Once your enthusiasm for an issue or person is aroused, you can become a tireless fighter.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. You only busy yourself with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. You tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that you often have a very successful academic career. You are less interested in details; you prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that you still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that you overlook something important. As you are very peace-loving, you tend not to openly show your dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of your strong points; you hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has you as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.

As a Dreamy Idealist you are one of the introverted personality types. Therefore you prefer a quiet work environment where you can intensively deal with your responsibilities and are not disturbed by too many people and repeated distractions. You need a lot of time to dwell on your thoughts, to put them into words, and let your ideas take shape. You are grateful for a certain measure of order and structure because they secure the time to achieve this so you can deal with one task after the other and not have to juggle a number of responsibilities at once - you don’t like that because it is important to you to deal with things thoroughly. Your capability to concentrate is unusually great and very often you become engrossed in something and forget everything around you - even to eat and drink.

Nevertheless, because you are very adaptable, congenial and interested in harmony and cooperation, you enjoy working together with others. A neighborhood that requires the ability to assert yourself and where direct confrontations are the order of the day is not your optimal environment. In order to permit you to fully develop your ability you need an environment that is as stress free as possible. If you can’t get that you soon suffer, because you take critique and negative feedback very personally.

You enjoy the opportunity for exchanges with other people you value and whose capabilities you respect but in this case remember the motto: Better less than more; better a few “hand picked” colleagues who truly move on your wavelength. It is best when you share the same high ideals and important objectives and together can fight for the same good cause because then you are truly in your element. If that is not the case, you do better by largely working by yourself because you belong to the personality types who can do that very well and don’t necessarily have to depend on others in order to come up with good results.

I like that "Developed by an Expert" thing. That's most reassuring.. Straight

..4 steps to a personality test; can't go wrong. A selection of 20 traits versus B selection of 20 traits; which ones suit you better? Can't possibly f that up.

..so what happens if I only meet certain criteria for each of those? ..right, that would be too confusing for you; hard to judge. Much easier if we just keep it simple. What?

..I guess that's why they call it Hy-"iPersonic"

The Dreamy Idealist. Think that means I should work with Servant Sisters of Eve or something.

The independent thinker.

I won't paste the full description because i assume that i'm not the only one here and probably it's been already posted, but i must say that it is very accurate for me.

I'm three months old in EvE and 99% of the time playing this game i'm alone in my modest C1. I would like to have more visits because that will bring more pvp oportunities, but that is all. Of course this situation will end the sooner or later because my objective is to live in a C5-C6 and i know that those systems require team work, but i'm open for that. However, i will always prefer the solitude of the void.

I lived in null only a few days but my first moments there i knew that it was not made for me. I could live with a small gang, but not with people telling me what to do and what not everytime i log on in this wonderful game.

Based on your answers, your personality type is most likely:
INTP

Your first preference is toward introversion, which means that you get your energy from interacting with your rich inner world. You tend to be reflective and contemplative. You likely prefer to have a few close friends instead of many acquaintances.

Your second preference is for intuition. Intuitives are interested in the more abstract side of life, concentrating less on specific details and more about meaning and patterns. Intuitives are naturally oriented toward concepts and can often make connections between complex sets of facts.

Your third preference is for thinking. Thinkers prefer to remain objective, concentrating more on facts than subjective factors in a situation. Thinking types are usually very analytical and logical thinking comes easily for them.

Your fourth preference is for perceiving. Perceivers are flexible and spontaneous, working in spurts of energy instead of pursuing strict deadlines. You often wait to make decisions in order to take in new information.

It's always interesting seeing what the tests turn out to be.

First one:

Analytical Thinker

Second one:

Introversion, Intuition, Thinker, Perceiver.

The second one seems especially interesting.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

The Social Realist

Social Realists like you are popular persons full of energy. You are reliable, well organized and helpful. Traditional values are important to you. Founding a family also plays a central role in your life. Social Realists have a marked social streak. You are always ready to listen to the worries and problems of others and spare no effort when you are asked for help. With empathy and understanding, you can sense what other people need. You are always willing to highly regard the strong points of the other person and to excuse that person’s weaknesses. You are the most sociable of all personality types. Social contacts are very important to you.


Social Realists find it very difficult to cope with conflicts and criticism - harmony is your elixir of life. Acknowledgement and esteem are very important to you. Differentiation on the other hand is not necessarily one of your strong points. At work and in partnerships, you are loyal, committed and always there when needed. You find it easy to make friends due to your open, warm manner and you have a large circle of friends. Social Realists are more conservative types. You have a set system of values and rules. You prefer clear, structured surroundings and work processes; you find too much change and unrest unpleasant. Your strong points are carefulness and reliability and not so much flexibility and spontaneity. Social Realists are open-minded towards anything new only to a limited extent. But, should one be looking for someone to fulfill a task reliably and exactly, you are the right person.

The Social Realist is the most social among all personality types. For you, it is essential to choose a profession where you can deal with as many people as possible. You recharge your batteries with the help of people contact and the personal exchanges needed for your very special talents to unfold. You are the prototype of the caring person in the positive sense, because you love to act on behalf of others and care for them. If you have the impression that there is a way to contribute by improving the quality of their life, it satisfies you more than anything.

So, what should I be doing in this game then? o_O

Wow! you are a rare type in EVE. I think you would make a great Director for a corp with a clear vision. Recruiting would probably be a strong point and organizing ops. I'm curious to know what you currently do in your corp?
