Hello, fellow chess players. I want to find out my style of play but each time I go on chesspersonality.com I get different results. I have written the moves down for a game I played against the level 3 computer, which are listed below. In this game, I was White and I had all the settings switched on. In case you don't know these settings, they are: show best moves, show threats and warn on mistakes. I liked the style of play I used here, but I don't know what sort of style it is. Can you tell me: a) what style of play I used in the game, b) what the opening was, c) other similar openings I may like, and d) what grandmaster has a similar style of play to the one I used so I can study their games. I don't yet know how to post the animation of the chess game yet. If someone could tell me how to do that it would be very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to read this post.

The last guy to use that site got different answers every time he took it too.

I don't know what your style is because the computer you played is just terrible. The only thing I can see is that you reacted to threats and stayed conservative even when you had an overwhelming advantage.

What did they tell you?

The quiz was written by chess.com.

Take the quiz

It was written by chess.com.

It was taken by Hikaru in 2015 and he goes through it question by question in a video.  (Spoiler alert- take the quiz before you watch the video.) If you want to see Hikaru's results, https://www.chess.com/article/view/whats-your-chess-personality  Danny Rensch posted a video too.

Since they were the same questions I got when I took the test and presumably the same questions you got, I really wonder how you could be getting different results.  

It was originally offered in many different languages but the links to different version are broken.

Just play the game regularly and  you will figure it out eventually.

No offense, but you are a 1200-ish player, your style is making mistakes. Work hard at improving and don't worry about your style. You will develop your own style once you become good

You have no style. Players at your level and indeed my level have no style. Our games involve trying not to blunder and focus around tactics more than anything else.
