Poker and personality

OGS20 · #1 03-14-2007, 01:23 PM

I am currently at the Nottingham Trent University in England and I am conducting the first ever psychological study into personality and poker. I am trying to see if there are certain personality traits shown by poker players that non-poker players do not possess.

I'd be grateful to anyone who can take five minutes to fill in this questionnaire:

When the study is published I will post the findings on these forums. Any questions PM me.

Thank you!

Random fact that might help you: by far most people on 2+2 come out as INTJ's when they take the Meyers-Briggs test. Second are INTPs.

Took it.

A lot of my answers seem to contradict each-other.

I seem like a totally different person when I am on the job.
That is because I start getting extremely emotional when I lose more then 10K; and unfortunately that happens quite often.
I have teared down the house on numerous occasions.

As long as it is job-related, I am ambitious, work hard, study to improve my skills.

Non job-related; I'm the laziest sun of a gun you've ever seen!

In the survey many questions are not really clear whether they are job-related or not.
That accounted for many seemingly inconsistencies in my answers.

Good survey,
It is good that you measure the success of the player, because this is crucial to the analysis.
Hope you get enough high stakes players to balance the stats, and get meaningful trends.

I like the chores question.
I guess a lot of players are like me, lazy on boring chores but very competitive and intense at the table.

What are INTJs/INTPs?
