That's a very interesting article, especially if we look at it the
way it's been written by the author, thinking about people affected
by autism. Very interesting indeed. I'm going to show this to
friends of mine working as educators.

I'm a B too, by a few pixels.. a few pixels from being an S brain
(36 EQ, 39 SQ).

I think that my type is not very much influenced by what I've been
playing lately. Really, it seems more like a test where I would have
scored the same result even if I had taken it years ago. Current
habit surely have some influence but I doubt it's going to be very
strong. Most of the questions I answered to were toward aspects of
my own character that have not changed in years. We can maybe say
that since I've been involved in games since I was a kid the kind of
games I always liked to play has influenced me towards being the way
I am now.

I'm a type B but I don't like playing female avatars. I think I only
played a female avatar once in a game where I could choose the
gender, and never in online games. Probably E brains are more likely
to be playing female characters.

Yes, that's very likely to be. And looking at the graphs on Nick's
site it seems that males are good achievers and griefers while
females are best at relationships. Looking outside the online games
world, many female players that own a PC or a PS2 (or the one of
their boyfriend) are more likely to play games like The Sims or
classic adventures (alla LucasArts) or social games like board games
ported to PC. That's my experience in the field. This does not mean
that my girlfriend does not like to beat me at Soul Calibur 2 :)

This really would need some more research on the subject. According
to Nick I would agree with you, but I don't know if there's any
clinical reason for such a shift.

I am not a professional designer but I do it as an hobby and I'm
B.. let's see the others :)
