Link to the test.
I thought this website is pretty interesting because it compiles stats for overall percentages of game players, and also suggests games that have a high number of players similar to your style (although Dr. Bartle's observations would suggest that this is really only useful for socializers, as the other types don't "feed" on themselves). It's also nifty to get Lusternia's name out there for potential players, as I see they have Achaea listed but not us! Hmph!
I scored as EASK (Achiever 46.67%, Explorer 73.33%, Killer 40.00%, Socializer 40.00%).

SAEK
SAEK players enjoy socializing more than anything else, but they also like to achieve the goals within the game. Often, the increase in social status that comes with defeating a powerful foe or finding a unique treasure is more important than the achievement itself. They also enjoy being part of a team that tries to accomplish great deeds, often finding as much satisfaction in the success of the group as with oneself.

SKAE
SKAE players enjoy teamwork and cooperation, but feel that the main challenges of a virtual world come from the other players rather than the environment. They enjoy forming groups and alliances that will pit themselves against other players--and they gain the most satisfaction when they defeat organized groups of other players. When they aren't playing against other players, they enjoy all of the social aspects of the game.

Note that these results are Lusternian only. If I played WoW, I'm sure I'd be more inclined to pwn n00bs than be the socializer/achiever that I am here.

I noticed a similar result. When I thought of Lusternia I tended towards an explorer mentality, but when I consider my behaviors/outlook in the MUDs I used to play in the dark ages prior, I was very much a killer.
