Comment on Bartle taxonomy of player types - A look at the types of players in games

An interesting test, I guess. I got scored as 80% explorer, 40% achiever and socialite, and 17% killer. While the killer score being so low is pretty spot on, I can’t really agree with the rest. Many a time throughout the test, I had to pick between two options I would never do. For example, one of the questions was (paraphrasing):
“Somebody PK’d you. Do you want to find out why and convince them not to do it again, or do you plan your revenge?”
My answer would have been neither. I got killed in a game with PVP, that happens, I’ll just move on. But I had to pick the top option, despite the how ridiculous the idea of finding out why a PKer just PK’d me is. Which I imagine pushes me further into the socialite category, despite quite literally never socializing with random people in games.
