FEMALE gamers VS MALE gamers

Hi fellow gamers

I’m currently a student at UCLA, and I’m doing a research project on FEMALE GAMERS!

I’m actually a female gamer myself, so I’m particularly interested in finding out more about our rare breed.

Though the study is about female gamers, male gamers can take the quiz too (I’m making comparisons between the two genders).

All I need from you guys is to take two fairly short quizzes: the first one is a temperament (sort of like a personality quiz) and the second one is just some questions about gaming in general.

PUT MY E-MAIL ADDRESS when you take the temperament quiz!
Also be sure to put the same alias/name for both quizzes so I can match you guys up.
It’s totally anonymous, so you can even put a random word as your name if you’d like (just be sure to use the same one for both quizzes).

Here are the links:
(1)
(again, don’t forget to put my e-mail address here

you still get your results at the end, I just need a copy for my research project…don’t worry, it’s still anonymous)
(2)

..

Sure I don’t have anything to offer you guys in return…except my undying gratitude haha.
You can feel better for knowing that you’re helping a fellow gamer out by helping her not fail her class in college!
I’d offer to challenge you all to a friendly game but I’ve become kind of rusty.
If you’re in the Los Angeles area I may be willing to treat you to some free ice cream!

E-mail me at if you have any questions.

Happy gaming!

I respect and totally admire female gamers. Because their gender is not a hindrance for them from playing. One more thing, I'm really challenged when I get to face them

What kind of games are playing female gamers?

That stereotype about female gamers is stupid. Back in H2 I met this girl whose gamer tag is VOA Nightmare. She was a beast at H2. She was a Semi-Pro, thats top 32 in the world, so don't let any type of ******** like that get in the way. She had this clan called Empire Arcadia. Getting in that clan was like breaking into Fort Knox. Those people were insanely good.

The average game buyer is 40 years old.
38% percent of all game players are women. In fact, women over the age of 18 represent a significantly greater portion of the game-playing population (30%) than boys age 17 or younger (23%).
