In addition to giving a breakdown of the personality types, it also noted the approximate percentage of the overall population that each of those types comprises. I then tallied the answers and got this:

Guardian
Supervisor (ESTJ) (~10%) 2
Inspector (ISTJ) (~10%) 6
Provider (ESFJ) (~10%) 0
Protector (ISFJ) (~10%) 4
Artisan
Promoter (ESTP) (~10%) 1
Crafter (ISTP) (~10%) 2
Performer (ESFP) (~10%) 2
Composer (ISFP) (~10%) 0
Idealist
Teacher (ENFJ) (~2%) 2
Counselor (INFJ) (~3%) 2
Champion (ENFP) (~3%) 1
Healer (INFP) (% not given) 1
Rational
Fieldmarshal (ENTJ) (~2%) 8
Mastermind (INTJ) (~2%) 14
Inventor (ENTP) (~2%) 3
Architect (INTP) (~1%) 8

Now I'm really interested in seeing the published results of the overall survey

Ladan (the researcher on raidingresearch.co.uk) is also my Guildmaster, so i've passed this thread on to her for her studies. As soon as i get a thank you from her, i'll pass it on to you guys of course.

But i'm sure she wont mind me thanking you all on her behalf for helping her research.

INFP - 67/75/25/33

Faction & race: Alliance, Dwarf
Main class and spec : Paladin, Protection
Language/Location : English, US
Type of guild : Hardcore


I must say that I find with this and similar tests that the questions typically bias my answers somewhat. In many cases my social responses are entirely the opposite when doing things online (i.e. I am more introverted in person) and there are several questions regarding emotions that have nothing at all to do with reasoning. I don't disagree with the overall assessment though.

Perhaps an interesting avenue of research would be the differences between responses of a typical personality test vs. one considering exclusively online social interactions of people who engage in them frequently (MMO gamers).
