I guess I am disproving the case, seeing that I scored E, bordering
on the extreme E :) ( 55E and only 14S :)
Interesting thing is that the systematic questions were much more a
very much yes or no case, while with the E side of things there was
often a lot more "well I guess so, but I am not quite certain that
I understand what he means" in the questions. I wonder if that was
deliberate, or if that shows that I am indeed very much not system-
atic?

I do not know. I tried to play male characters in games but found I
am so horrible at it that nobody was fooled. Usually picking a gen-
der neutral name and not advertising being female helps keeping the
unwanted attention away. Much as in real life actually.

Considering that they are supposed to be female I think that is a
fair assumption :)

I think it is dangerous to infer things like that. We had this dis-
cussion before and I still maintain that there is such things as a
"girls like this" or "boys like that" possible. Considering the way
games are marketed almost to the deliberate exclusion of girls, it
is a surprise to find any girl playing games at all. Of those that
do they are conditioned in two directions. By the game that strong-
ly focus on violent competitive subjects with a high degree of spa-
tial coordination (which boys tend to excell at) while society and
culture strongly disapprove of such an interest in girls. I do not
know if girls play The Sims because they enjoy it or because it is
one of the few games that is socially acceptable for them to play,
and that is actually marketed towards girls as well. It is one of
the few games that I have seen advertisements for outside of the
specialised (and boy oriented) games magazines.

I tend to think that all girls are not the same, and that girls in
general like a lot of things, when given the chance. They might in
fact even like several very different things at the same time that
society does not think girls should like. Like. e.g. beating their
boyfriends at Soul Calibur ;)

I doubt as the fundamental organisation of the brain gets fixed at
an earlier age. However, I would expect that over time playing pu-
rely for achievement or exploration pales, given that those are in
essence play styles with a definite endpoint (when the top of the
list is reached or everything has been explored). If however you
have acquired friends you can continue to hang out with them and
occasionally play a bit, but that is a definite E type of play and
might be responsible for the shift that Nick Yee noticed?
