Which is something I had wondered about the test. (As in, "If you haven't heard of it, it probably didn't exist.") What's really sad is... by standard "technicalities still count," this is probably fairly accurate. At worse, I'm maybe a few more points pure...not enough to make a difference.
You are 11.69% pure
Thus why I accept "gamer" as a label, I'm sure.

I can tell you how I managed this. The first one is fairly simple; I used to be a lot more munchkinish, and I still am fairly happy with hack-and-slash. Plus, if you run player vs. player parties, it's hard NOT to play around with such things. (Oh, and I have a bad habit of rolling criticals. This might be why I do more with diceless.)
The second category? I'm an Amber player with a few hundred characters from the summer where the LintKing and I had no jobs, only The Game.
The third category is, well, I AM a GM, and I've run a lot of games...with many of the premises questioned wrapped up in the same game.
The fourth is because between the LintKing and I, we have a serious collection, and what we don't own, I've still read enough about given participation in net.forums.
As for gaming being my life...well...
I think there's some tweaking that would do to better this quiz. Not just adding a number of games that I know aren't on the list, but changing some of the emphasis on the "sensitive" and "GMing" questions. But, it was fun enough to take and I might do it again later.
