OK, in school I played hockey (good enough to be varsity & play in
amature, semi-pro & professional). I was about in the middle academically
(after overcoming dyslexia, that was a feat!). Perhaps I was a bit
introverted at times, certainly not now. Don't like computer adventure
games (or most games for that matter).

The students who used to join my school stamp clubs were almost
universally "of a type" -- quiet, introspective but not necessary
introverted, non-athletic, and not the best students academically.
Unfortunately for our hobby, the same type of student also seems
well-suited
to sit for hours in front of a computer to play adventure games.

It would be interesting to know if any psychological "theories of stamp
collecting" (or collecting in general) have ever been developed.
