Personality types of serious Trials HD gamers
Hey there. Not much of a video-games player, and I have discovered Trials HD way late. In quite a short time I have gone up to Inferno and finished it, with almost 500 faults. Then with a little practice I have zero-faulted the World Championship (the one with ten tracks), on this small CRT screen. (But hey, perhaps after all it helps having a small screen, as you see all within great sight acuity.)
Soon after I have began playing the DLCs, and last night I have achieved a platinum in Pilgrimage (frozenCat32). I have also missed a top 200 in Reality check, and a definite top 100 in Garbage chute. That said, I am now giving the machine back to my friend, but keep thinking about the game.
When I play, I kind of relax and forget about everything else. But on top, I guess I have (playing extremes such as Inferno, Diabolic, and Pilgrimage) to rely on feeling to achieve something great. That is, I have got to innovate every time, and following planned movements is not at all a good idea.
Are you other serious players feeling like this, too? My personality type (given by the MBTI) is INFP, which means I have introverted feeling. Which may guide how I am playing the game. I am intuitive in my perceptions, though. I am creative. I am quite unconventional.
I live in a big, internal world of feelings and I believe it helps with Trials. On Pilgrimage, for example, I have to wait until I get that feeling, before performing each trick sequence. Do you, serious gamers, recognize yourselves in all of this?
Here are the two top MBTI-like tests from Google. I have found the only sensible way to interpret the results if using original writings from Jung, though.
