Whoa, I'm a Mastermind. (and the gamer type descriptions are disturbingly accurate)

I have never played Animal Crossing, and it always struck me as a game I'd hate, but the rest of the picks are dead-on.
The 'Sub-Class' was a close match, too, being Mastermind-Socializer. It nailed the fact that I enjoy Left4Dead, Team Fortress 2, and Final Fantasy. (at least the old ones, in my case) I scored 15 points in Conquerer and Socializer alike, so I'm not sure how it decided between the two. I suppose Conquerer is my competitive tendency, depending on the game.
I am most definitely <not> an Achiever, and that's fine by me. Taking time to find everything in a video game just seems like a waste of RL time.
Since you said 'more the merrier,' I'll pass this along in another forum I peruse.

Mastermind
BrainHex- Mastermind “I know what to do.”
You like solving puzzles and devising strategies.
Your behaviour is focussed around making the most efficient decisions.
Your major brain region is the orbito-frontal cortex, an area just behind and above the eyes involved in making decisions, and the nucleus accumbens (or “pleasure centre”) which is closely linked to it.
Your chemical messenger is dopamine, which is chemically similar to cocaine, and is involved in habit formation.
If you were an animal, it would be an octopus.
Favourite games of Masterminds surveyed so far include Animal Crossing, Chess, Chrono Trigger, Fallout, Half-Life, and Zelda .
Your BrainHex class is related to Achievement-Mechanics motivation (Yee), the Manager (DGD1), Strategic play (Temperament theory) and Ludus (Roger Caillois), and is partly related to Hard Fun (4 Fun Keys), and the Explorer (Bartle Type).

The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

Note to people: it'll show your "game personality type" at the end.
