The psychology behind you and your Gamertag
Playing on Xbox Live introduces you to a plethora of personalities, cultures, and interesting people. And unless you've been living under the 360's power brick, you know that on Xbox Live your online identity is your Gamertag. But what does your Gamertag really tell others about you? The guys over at Games Radar put on their scientific hats, because they were curious to what the sub-conscious meaning and hidden significance was behind a person's Gamertag. They took a sample of real Gamertags, broke them down into six categories, and received some insight from a professor of psychology. They came away with a few generalized meanings behind each category as they make logicial (psychology) sense. A person's Gamertag is (simply put) their chosen online identity, a label to which they wish to be called, and a label they consciously choose. So, sometimes their is hidden meaning behind a Gamertag and we can learn a little bit about a person just from it, even without even talking to them. But even after reading this article I have yet to learn what the hidden significance behind SuperDunners is ... I guess I'm just super.
