Abstract
The present study examined the relationship between personality and character preferences in fantasy computer role-playing games. Subjects were required to complete two measures: The Big Five Inventory and a survey designed to determine character preferences in fantasy computer role-playing games as well as relevant fantasy/gaming experiences. Several correlations were observed that generally support the hypothesis that individuals choose characters that are reflections of their own personalities. For example, individuals who scored high on extraversion tended to prefer characters that were described as charismatic. Likewise, agreeableness was correlated with preferences for characters with helping occupations and negatively correlated with more deviant occupations.
