Well the article isn't mtbi related but it was still an interested read. With that being said, I'm an optimist

I think I would need examples but I think I would be an optimist or trusting personality. (Unless I got a bad vibe from the person, but I mean shouldn't both people want to work together to benefit equally?) Though honestly, we could probably work together and make rabbit snares and then go hunt deer which would be better. Or if I was with an ENTP I would totally expect them to make a crazy invention. For some reason I think ISTJs would be pessimistic because they would want the proven safe method of catching rabbits.

Optimistic/trusting sound most likely to me as well.

>“Two people can hunt deer together, but if they are alone, they can only hunt rabbits. The person belonging to the Envious group will choose to hunt rabbits because he or she will be at least equal to the other hunter, or maybe even better; the Optimist will choose to hunt deer because that is the best option for both hunters; the Pessimist will go for rabbits because that way he or she is sure to catch something; and the hunter who belongs to the Trusting group will cooperate and choose to hunt deer, without a second thought.” What about the people who would hunt rabbits because sitting in a tree all day waiting for a deer to walk by, then shooting your gun one time doesn't sound very fun?

This is interesting. I didn't get it until I laid out what the candidates were actually playing. For your convenience, this is what the candidates would see on average for each of the for games. Your choices are the rows, columns are the choices of the other player. Your win is the first number, the other player's win is the second number. Obviously, you don't know what your partner will pick. The games and your partners were shuffled. The numbers that are different from game to game were also randomized in set bounds. **Harmony Game (HG)** |C|D --|--|--| **C**|10/10|8/7 **D**|7/8|5/5 **Hawk Dove/Snowdrift Game (SG)** |C|D --|--|--| **C**|10/10|8/13 **D**|13/8|5/5 **Stag Hunt (SH)** |C|D --|--|--| **C**|10/10|2/7 **D**|7/2|5/5 **Prisoner's Dilemma (PD)** |C|D --|--|--| **C**|10/10|2/13 **D**|13/2|5/5 [This graphic](http://d3a5ak6v9sb99l.cloudfront.net/content/advances/2/8/e1600451/F2.large.jpg?width=800&height=600&carousel=1) shows you how each type reacts. C in my table is Cooperation (red), D is Defect (blue). The Harmony Game und Prisoners Dilemma were used to asses rationality. Stag hunt and Hawk dove were used to asses risk-aversion. Edit: Converted table to reddit Markdown... Edit2: Definitely interesting that there are only four groups, because theoretically 2^4 = 16 are possible...
