Interesting results on the poll -- thanks to all who participated.

This was hardly a scientific poll, but the results confirmed my expectations. Note that twice as many historical gamers think they have a "Past" personality versus a "Future" personality, while the results are almost precisely flipped for sci-fi/fantasy gamers -- twice as many of them think they have a "Future" personality rather than a "Past" personality.

Again, not surprising that the voting went the way it did, but it is amusing that the voting between historical and sci-fi/fantasy gamers was so nearly mirrored.

POLL DESCRIPTION

Reader GuruDave writes:

There is a theory that personality types can be roughly categorized into one of three groups: Present, Past, and Future.
People whose personalities reflect the Present are organizers and drivers and are particularly keen on detail and order.
People who reflect the Future are visionaries, optimists, and explorers.
People who reflect the Past are methodical, reflective, and hold reverence for prior accomplishments and lessons.

If you game either historical or fantasy/sci-fi miniatures, what primary gaming interest and dominant personality traits category best describes you?
