There's a project called PsyOps that is using a stand 100 question personality test to figure out if there is a reasonably obvious correlation between personality types and Battlefield 3 playing style.



Direct from results page:

"Intellect/Imagination - Also known as "Openness to experience". People scoring high on this trait are more inventive and curious, while people with lower scores tend to be more consistent or cautious. We think this trait might show itself on the Battlefield with high scorers trying out more different classes and guns, while lower scorers specialize more in one load-out. Another theory is that lower scorers might be more prone to play a more traditional recon or sniper role.

Conscientiousness - This describes how controlled and organized you are. People scoring high on this trait are more efficient and organized, while people with lower scores tend to be more easy-going and careless. We think this trait might show itself on the Battlefield with high scorers focusing more on the objective, while lower scorers behave more opportunistically, like acquiring dog tags whenever the chance presents itself.

Extraversion - A measure of how much you focus on social behavior. The opposite of Extraversion is called Introversion. People scoring high on this trait are more outgoing and energetic, while people with lower scores tend to be more solitary and reserved. We think this trait might show itself on the Battlefield with high scorers being stronger team players, while low scorers are more likely to be lone wolves.

Agreeableness - This shows how much you value social harmony. People scoring high on this trait are more friendly and compassionate, while people with lower scores are more cold and unkind. People scoring low on this trait traditionally put themselves forward more as leaders. We think this trait might show itself on the Battlefield with high scorers being stronger team players, while low scorers are found more on the front lines.

Emotional Stability - The opposite measure is also known as Neuroticism. People scoring high in this trait are more secure and confident, while people with lower scores are more sensitive and nervous. We think this trait might show itself on the Battlefield with high scorers earning more defender ribbons than low scorers."

I do believe Thundr posted this a while back, but I'm sort of interested in taking the test again just to see how I've changed.
 
The thing I find funniest is the intellect/imagination scores I see around here. We should go into a business, we're all freaking geniuses (and I'm serious, it seems to be a common thing among gamers)!
