Hmm... I just remembered seeing a poll on some April Fool's day where there was a poll (which mod is best? or something like that) with obviously-faked results (10,000 votes / 3 votes / 107 votes or the like). Maybe this was on different board software?

I!N!F!P! That's the way I like to be! 
I vaguely recall taking this before, and the results are pretty much the same as I recall. Idealism all the way baby!
My Myers-Briggs game stats are:
Introverted (I) 86% Extraverted (E) 14%
Intuitive (N) 64% Sensing (S) 36%
Feeling (F) 70% Thinking (T) 30%
Perceiving (P) 68% Judging (J) 32%

Okay, one of the faceless Idealist/INFP multitudes here. Do you think that Idealists (given the large number of poll respondants who fell in that category) would naturally gravitate towards RPGs? I never gave much thought to it, but I suppose my love of role-playing grew out of my belief that this world is imperfect, that too often it does not reward the chivalrous or the kind, and RPGs are some way to live out this heroic ideal. I mean, there has to be some reason why we all want to strap on broadswords and rid the world of dragons, save the beautiful princess, etc.
What surprised me was how much Feeling differed from Thinking. I'd always thought of myself as a pretty analytical guy, but now I see what everyone's been talking about all my life But then again, I've had a really bad night tonight (in regards to my friends) prior to taking this test, so maybe that's just my immediate sensitivities coming out. Hmm. All in all, though, pretty eerie.

What I think would be really cool would be to run a poll to see if there is a correlation between these various types and the various types of rpg players: rules lawyers, powergamers, gear whores, drama queens, beer and pretzels, control freak DM's, etc.
The ENWorld poll format couldn't support something like this though. You'd probably need to create a database web app to handle the data or just have people state it in a thread and collate it manually.
The other problem is that we would need a more neutral way than self evaluation of gauging what type of rpg player we are, like another poll. Does such a thing already exist?
