Help me with my research paper: Survey #1

[reanjr]

When you think of the word "gamer," what words/phrases/images come to mind?

books, reading

Do you believe there is a stereotype (or multiple stereotypes) of gamers? If so, what is it/are they?

they tend to be smart, well-read, and uninterested in normal topics of discussion (in ascending order)

Have you seen evidence to support this stereotype?

perhaps to a certain extent; not so much as the sterotype seems to indicate though

Do you fall within this stereotype?

I hit the first two, not the third. To be thorough (EN World has alot of DMs IME): most of my players are smart, only one or two are well-read, only one seems to revolve his life around niche topics (geek); another one seems to talk about gaming all the time but can be led away from this topic to more interesting thoughts.

Do you admit that you game to non-gamers or strangers?

yes
