Where do Elder Scrolls players fall on the Bartle Test?

Achiever

You are 73% Achiever

What Bartle says:

♦ Achievers regard points-gathering and rising in levels as their main goal, and all is ultimately subserviant to this. Exploration is necessary only to find new sources of treasure, or improved ways of wringing points from it. Socialising is a relaxing method of discovering what other players know about the business of accumulating points, that their knowledge can be applied to the task of gaining riches. Killing is only necessary to eliminate rivals or people who get in the way, or to gain vast amounts of points (if points are awarded for killing other players).

Have played a healer / support class as main in every game so far and it still get KESA.
Sure, I sometimes decide that a person doesn't deserve to get healed, but does that really make me a killer?

Most of the questions seemed more appropriate for pen and paper roleplaying game or single player games, and were not quite applicable to MMOs. At least not any MMO that I'm aware of has those kinds of mechanics for team roleplaying etc.

Quite a few of the choices were also described in a way where I didn't care for either option.

In an online game, would you rather be known as: "Someone who can run from any two points in the world, and really knows their way around" or "The person with the best, most unique equipment in the game?"

Neither of these seem appealing to me, don't much care to be well known for anything in this sort of game I suppose.

Are you more comfortable, as a player in an online game: Talking with friends in a tavern or Out hunting orcs by yourself for experience?

No interest in grinding experience, nor in sitting around in a tavern. Maybe if it were a sandbox / pen and paper game, something interesting could happen in a tavern.

What Bartle says:

♠ Explorers delight in having the game expose its internal machinations to them. They try progressively esoteric actions in wild, out-of-the-way places, looking for interesting features (ie. bugs) and figuring out how things work. Scoring points may be necessary to enter some next phase of exploration, but it's tedious, and anyone with half a brain can do it. Killing is quicker, and might be a constructive exercise in its own right, but it causes too much hassle in the long run if the deceased return to seek retribution. Socialising can be informative as a source of new ideas to try out, but most of what people say is irrelevant or old hat. The real fun comes only from discovery, and making the most complete set of maps in existence.

I'm also not really impressed with the math. It says I am 80% Explorer, 60% Socialiser, 60% achiever and 0% Killer. That's 200%.

The math works fine when you realize that each is rated on an individual scale. They sum to 200% instead of 400% due to every question having two possible answers.

What Bartle says:

♣ Killers get their kicks from imposing themselves on others. This may be "nice", ie. busybody do-gooding, but few people practice such an approach because the rewards (a warm, cosy inner glow, apparently) aren't very substantial. Much more commonly, people attack other players with a view to killing off their personae (hence the name for this style of play). The more massive the distress caused, the greater the killer's joy at having caused it. Normal points-scoring is usually required so as to become powerful enough to begin causing havoc in earnest, and exploration of a kind is necessary to discover new and ingenious ways to kill people. Even socialising is sometimes worthwhile beyond taunting a recent victim, for example in finding out someone's playing habits, or discussing tactics with fellow killers. They're all just means to an end, though; only in the knowledge that a real person, somewhere, is very upset by what you've just done, yet can themselves do nothing about it, is there any true adrenalin-shooting, juicy fun.

I agree with the results but not the description. A "Killer" doesnt necessarily have to be a bad person that gets their rocks by blowing innocent bystanders away just for the hell of it. Its simply a preference in handling a situation. so like, if there was a psychopath on a rampage to slaughter a village, I feel like id be one of the first ones in to FIGHT.

does that make me a "killer" by bartle standards? probably, but does that make me a bad person that just wants to kil everyone in sight? no. not at all.

And at this point in my ESO "career" i favor pvp much more than any other aspect so of course i would take the amulet that does more dmg to other players etc. and in that sense, the test is bias.

EASK for me. (93%, 60%, 33%, 13%). Makes sense. I love to explore and find new things; achievements are pretty important to me; I'm mildly social (friendly, but I'm happy playing alone); and PVP is not interesting to me.

Fits for me.

I love to explore and get my maps "white".I love to get achievements done (and not on just one char). I need to be very bored in PvE to do a step into PvP for a (mostly short) while. Groups/raids are instruments to get certain things done, otherwise I can do very well alone.

The only thing i didnt like were a lot of questions were situational not an always this always that. TBH i assumed achiever would be closer to bottom and Explorer would be on the bottom.

What surprises me is that I would have thought I'd get lower socializer scores... as sociophobic as I usually am. Oh, well, maybe I have gotten a bit better as I was...

I came out ESKA, which slightly surprised me. I would have expected EASK or ESAK. (I mean, I just finished Master Angler, which you don't get if achievements don't matter to you.)
