Social Enthusiast
Social networking sites like Facebook have become wildly popular. Just about everyone I know has a page, even those that aren't very computer savvy. It's addicting for the Social Enthusiast to go on there and post about their life. Other people will comment on what they said, and they can read about them and comment back. You can also play games on there too.
Games like Farmville do an amazing job of keeping players hooked. It uses the same methods of addicting MMO's. Doing the ol' carrot on the string leading the horse trick. It keeps the game fresh and exciting to the Social Enthusiast there is always something just around the corner to look forward to.
Those games are integrated seamlessly into Facebook. They encourage you to play with friends, trading items and sending messages to each other. Some items you are only able to acquire by getting friends to play with you. There are tons different kinds games to choose from as well.
As a Social Enthusiast you enjoy the whole experience of playing the games together with friends. Not only that but also being able to deepen your personal relationships through sharing your day to day life with each other as well.

Puzzler
Sudoku, Mahjong, Bejeweled, Tetris sounds like fun? If so, you might just be a Puzzler. You enjoy playing games where you can flex your mental muscles. Logical thinking is king in your world of gaming.
You don't require a game to have good graphics, that doesn't impress you much. What does impress you is the challenge that it offers. The harder the better. It's got a time limit? Great bring it on!
It doesn't have to be a strict puzzle game either; some Puzzlers have been known to play games like Zelda. They just don't take gaming as seriously as the Average Gamer does. Puzzlers also enjoy games that you get points in. They enjoy challenging themselves to go for the top score. Self improvement while being entertained is the goal of the Puzzler.
