The roleplayer maybe.

Very interesting ! It seems i am an achiever/killer.

However, i know that this heavily and primarily depends on the type of game i play !

As a longtime Starcraft nerd, i did not even play the campaign for months after the release of SC2 and dived straight into the multiplayer.
In Witcher3, i turned every stone upside down, completed every single little quest/treasure and monster hunt, appreciated every line of Dialoge in the Story.
In Vanilla and BC WoW, i helped guildmates farm and craft for hours with no benefit but the fun of socializing.

I guess a lot of you have that attitude.

Jason VandenBerghe's talk is something that might interest you if this is your sort of thing. The forces driving For Honor are the next evolution of this line of thinking :P

I am pretty sure RPing falls under Social.

I accidentally clicked vote before I was done picking, missed the explorer one. Everything except achiever. I don't give a damn about levels or trophies or any of that stuff. But I love competing against other players, I love exploring games and finding secrets, and I love interacting with people and just socialising.

The linky thing combines killers with griefers however, and I take exception with that equation. Griefers don't care about challenge. Not only do they not care if it's a fair fight, they prefer it not to be. I on the other hand, love PvP, I want to be better than other people, and the only way you can show that is by fighting on equal footing. Anyone can gang up on someone or stab them in the back, but it takes skill to face someone on equal terms and come out on top. I don't want any advantages, in fact I prefer to fight at a disadvantage, because then there can be no question that it was my superior skills that lead me to victory.
