Loyal scientist friend then!
EDIT: My version is better. Loyalist is the subject. But here is the final form: friendly scientifically-minded loyalist.

Re: Bartle Taxonomy
You are 93% Achiever
What Bartle says:
♦ Achievers regard points-gathering and rising in levels as their main goal, and all is ultimately subserviant to this. Exploration is necessary only to find new sources of treasure, or improved ways of wringing points from it. Socialising is a relaxing method of discovering what other players know about the business of accumulating points, that their knowledge can be applied to the task of gaining riches. Killing is only necessary to eliminate rivals or people who get in the way, or to gain vast amounts of points (if points are awarded for killing other players).

Re: Bartle Taxonomy
The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
You are 80% Killer
What Bartle says:
♣ Killers get their kicks from imposing themselves on others. This may be "nice", ie. busybody do-gooding, but few people practice such an approach because the rewards (a warm, cosy inner glow, apparently) aren't very substantial. Much more commonly, people attack other players with a view to killing off their personae (hence the name for this style of play). The more massive the distress caused, the greater the killer's joy at having caused it. Normal points-scoring is usually required so as to become powerful enough to begin causing havoc in earnest, and exploration of a kind is necessary to discover new and ingenious ways to kill people. Even socialising is sometimes worthwhile beyond taunting a recent victim, for example in finding out someone's playing habits, or discussing tactics with fellow killers. They're all just means to an end, though; only in the knowledge that a real person, somewhere, is very upset by what you've just done, yet can themselves do nothing about it, is there any true adrenalin-shooting, juicy fun.

This is interesting for sure. However, I would say that there are two different reasons why killers would be killers. One is as stated: "only in the knowledge that a real person, somewhere, is very upset by what you've just done". The other being that the killer gets an sense of achievement or acknowledgement that they are superior at the game. This person isn't about making others feel bad, but it is more about themselves feeling a sense of achievement. One thought would be that I want the other person to lose while the other thought is I want to be better than the other person and win.

Re: Bartle Taxonomy
The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology
You are 100% Socialiser
What Bartle says:
♥ Socialisers are interested in people, and what they have to say. The game is merely a backdrop, a common ground where things happen to players. Inter-player relationships are important: empathising with people, sympathising, joking, entertaining, listening; even merely observing people play can be rewarding - seeing them grow as individuals, maturing over time. Some exploration may be necessary so as to understand what everyone else is talking about, and points-scoring could be required to gain access to neat communicative spells available only to higher levels (as well as to obtain a certain status in the community). Killing, however, is something only ever to be excused if it's a futile, impulsive act of revenge, perpetrated upon someone who has caused intolerable pain to a dear friend. The only ultimately fulfilling thing is not how to rise levels or kill hapless drips; it's getting to know people, to undertand them, and to form beautiful, lasting relationships.
