The Video Games You Play Depends On Who You Are As A Person

1. Who You Are Determines The Video Games You Play Video games have been around for quite sometime and especially in the last decade or so it has grown into a large and passionate community. The players are diverse as the games available to play have increased manifold, ranging from action, adventure, to brutal 1-on-1 action games, fantasy, role-playing and much more. Initially and even till today the community of psycho-analysis is split on whether video games have any link to an individual's personality. However, one causality that cannot be denied is the link of individual personality to the games that someone chooses to play.

2. The Personality Types: Research within the human character traits over the years have divided it into five main categories, which are:- ✔ Extroversion ✔ Neuroticism ✔ Conscientiousness ✔ Openness ✔ Agreeableness Most people have combinations of these five qualities in certain unique proportions. The presence of these traits also determines what kind of games a person is likely to choose, play and excel at. Below is a list of reasons classified according to the games people are most likely to play. This list in not absolute and is only a generic description of the most likely candidates. It should be remembered that there are many exceptions to the rule. De stressing - it has often been noticed that people with a high pressure or monotonous job tend to play action games in order to release themselves from the self-restraint they maintain during their day jobs. Some of these video games which include violence, mayhem and gore are often played by people in high stress or repetitive jobs. Coming home after a hard days work, their Xbox or Playstation helps them unwind and vent out all the pent-up negative emotions. ● For the Feeling of Fulfilment -Many people within the gaming community are often surprised by another group of people, who were not perceived to be gamers. Another group that surprises people with the choice of the video games are the ones that don’t fit their social stereotype. These gamers often do this to fulfil their fantasies of projecting power or to engage an active imagination which doesn’t get much outlet during the day time. Most of these gamers are usually console owners like PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX One among others. ● The Inquisitive and the Problem Solver – Many action games also have a lot of strategizing, mystery solving and titbits of information thrown about that help unravel a larger story line. Any other type of player may miss this information, but the inquisitive problem solver always wants to play specific video games that help them titillate and exercise their intelligence muscle. These gamers are the builders who in most cases play on the PC platform as they are most likely to customise their own experience, including the device on which they play. ●

3. The Person Seeking Order – Most of the gamers in this category play video games that allow them to micromanage many aspects or minute details of the game. Examples of such games would be life simulation gamessuch as Railroad Tycoon, The SIMS, Sid Meier's Civilisation series among others. These gamers are usally found on the console platform although portable gaming devices such as PS Vita as well as smartphones are a usual favourite with this group. ● The Fantasy Explorer – Many people play video games not to feel a connect or an analogue to the actual world but to get completely lost in a realm of their own. They look for like minded individuals who indulge each other in their fantasies. One stand out example of such games are World of Warcraft, Skyrim, Final Fantasy etc. These are massively multi-player online role-playing games which have legions of followers across the globe. These players are common to both PC platforms as well as consoles like Xbox 360 or the Playstation. There are certain MMORPG games which are quite popular on the smartphone platform like Celtic Heroes, Dungeon Hunter, Adventure Quest 3D among others. ● These are very wide generalisations about an extremely diverse gaming community.

They come from all aspects of life which includes extreme variations in age, race, location, educational and professional background.
