What Your Gaming Name Reveals About Your Personality

Saw this article that, among other things, describes how reportable and negative behavior is often conducted by younger or antisocial players. Just some food for thought among all the posts telling people to "grow up" or "grow a pair". I'm going to go so ludicrously far as to say maybe those who flame and curse at others are the ones who need to grow up?!

Yes, I know IFL Science is written and presented for click bait and popular masses; here is the full paper for the study.

EDIT: Someone else posted the link while I was writing lol. Oh well, just gonna leave it up in case anyone wants to discuss this specific topic.

Where is everyone taking the random origins of their names from? The links have nothing like that. They're both study articles.
