Magical Personality

Took a personality test on blackborder.com to find out what kind of a Magic player I am and ended getting this piece of analysis which I would say is almost 90% accurate. Wow!

Jason, you are a...

Knight-errant (CAIP)
Competitive Aggressive Inflexible Person-player


You like a fight - but only over the Magic table, of course. Working hard is all well and good, but it's working smart that interests you. Why spend days and weeks endlessly tweaking a deck when you can get hold of one and focus on how you play it? You're a knight-errant because your whole approach to the game is like a medieval knight riding away on a mission. Your squire (or your favourite strategy website) will bring you your steed and you ride it into the battle. Relying on the force of your attack and your steely attitude, you will take on all-comers. You wield your creatures like a horseman swinging his mace. If your opponent isn't ready for you he's not going to stand a chance as you rain blows down on him.

Like all good knights you know it's good night if you don't pay close attention to who you're fighting against. You are the kind of horseman who will shout to his opponent in a joust 'look up there, it's a flying pig' to distract him just as he's about to skewer you with his lance.

You love the game, but you know also that who you're playing matters just as much as what you're playing. During the game you will watch him for signs of battle fatigue, for evidence of chinks in his armoury, and perhaps even send him a few decoy signals yourself.

It angers you if your mana gets screwed and you can't make your attack properly, but knight-errants know that showing emotion is a weakness. You will keep it in - as far as your opponent knows, everything is going to plan. You don't like taking risks - knights' reputations tend to suffer if they ride straight into peasant ambushes.

Just as a knight never leaves his castle undefended when he goes on a mission, you always like to keep your bases covered. If the game goes badly, you'll most likely put it down to bad luck - if you don't get the cards you need, your plan of attack can be badly compromised.

You're more of a player than a deckbuilder. Give you a solid deck and you'll put in the time learning to play it well. You're happy playing all formats.

We say: Good on you - hardy attackers like you make the game interesting. If you wanted to improve you could try looking at your playing and be a bit more flexible with your strategy during a game.

The most common personality type is the Knight (CAIP) with 17.4% of people.
The least common, with just 0.3%, is the Kingpin (EDFP).
44.5% of Magic players want a fight.
People who would take up bungee jumping are also less likely to learn from their mistakes.
