Pathfinder 1E Tactician not a power gamer

[athos]

Lol, if only 21 questions could accurately encapsulate 36+ years of gaming experience.

Surprising how many people get high tactician scores, wonder if that is the bias of the test or if there is a trend in gamers.

You Scored as TacticianYou're probably a military buff who wants to have the chance to think through complex problems. You want the rules, and your GM's interpretation of them, to match up what happens in the real world or at least be consistant. You want challenging yet logical obstacles to overcome.

I did this test a long time ago, and just redid it. I think it's interesting that my preferences haven't changed much over the years, although tactician has more % than it used to, while method actor has scored slightly less than I remember it doing. Still, overall I'm a

Storyteller
You're more inclined toward the role playing side of the equation and less interested in numbers or experience points. You're quick to compromise if you can help move the story forward, and get bored when the game slows down for a long planning session. You want to play out a story that moves like it's orchestrated by a skilled novelist or film director.

Hm, well that sounds about right. My characters do tend to be hot-blooded action-hero types, and I use the rules to maximise that archetype.

You like a streightforward combat character. After a long day at the office, you want to clobber foes and once more prove your superiority over all who would challenge you.

You Scored as Method Actor
You think that gaming is a form of creative expression. You may view rules as, at best, a necessary evil, preferring sessions where the dice never come out of the bag. You enjoy situations that test or deepen your character's personality traits.

I always score high on tactician and method actor, medium on storyteller, and low on everything else on these tests.

Very curious, has anyone actually used these rating to try to match up with other compatible players, and if so, how did it go?

 

[Ryujin]

Probably pretty close to the truth. Given a choice between building a character concept and background that I like, or one that kicks butt, I'll definitely lean more toward the former than the latter. That the difference between the top and bottom isn't massive also fits since I don't tend to min/max, or make my characters particularly one dimensional in skills.

This makes sense, and I'm pretty sure (having taken this quiz in the past) that I flip between a storyteller and a method actor depending on mood. Everything else is pretty much the same.
