What does "specialist" mean; that you specialize in one type of character?

The top 2 don't surprise me much; I like designing characters with *character* to send into the field and kick some ass. That way, even if they die in their third combat, peole will remember them...

The remaining 5 results make no sense to me at all, so I'm going to ignore them...

I agree with Psion about how this quiz rates the Specialist category.

Here's what I scored:
Storyteller 75%
Character Player 70%
Weekend Warrior 60%
Power Gamer 45%
Tactician 35%
Casual Gamer 30%
Specialist 5%

Despite its shortcomings, I think this quiz is probably the best one out there. Good show, Charles Ryan!

You scored as Casual Gamer.



To the Casual Gamer, a roleplaying session is first and foremost a social activity enjoyed with one’s friends. The Casual Gamer enjoys gaming well enough, but participates mostly because that’s what his friends do. He’s usually the one least into the game rules, campaign events, or even his own character, and may even get distracted during the session—but that doesn’t mean he isn’t having fun. For the Casual Gamer, the greatest reward of the game is just hanging out and having fun with friends. With apologies to Robin Laws.

You scored as <b>Character Player</b>. The Character Player enjoys creating in-depth characters with distinct and rich personalities. He identifies closely with his characters, feeling detached from the game if he doesnâ??t. He takes creative pride in exploring different characters, often making each new one radically different than others heâ??s played. The Character Player bases his decisions on his character's psychology first and foremost. He may view rules as a necessary evil at best, preferring sessions in which the dice never come out of their bags. For the Character Player, the greatest reward comes from experiencing the game from the emotional perspective of an interesting character
