Personality Guide

The avatar you create reveals a lot about your real self.

People who have played the game for a long time may have dozens of avatars that they’ve created over the years, but more often than not, they say that the first avatar you create is the most like yourself. It’s also common for people to create an avatar who is the opposite of them, a virtual alter ego. Either way, when we create a character instinctually, it reveals enormous amounts about our sensitivities, personality and priorities.

Give it a try. You don’t even have to play the game yet, the information is all here; As you go “identity shopping,” what characteristics are you drawn to? Each decision is a clue about the real you.

Through my hundreds of interviews with gamers, combined with classical archetype studies and psychological personality traits, I’ve devised a guide to what your World of Warcraft avatar reveals about your true character. Stay tuned for this to expand out to include character classes, too.
