Which genre do you play more than most?
Adventure (35/15%), Indie (27/20). The other noticeable difference is Action (8/24), the difference would have been considerably higher if I didn't idle free stuff for cards (shame on me, yeah).

Why is there no distinction between shooter and action?
I don't really play shooters, but like other action games.

I definitely play more racing than most people. All the GRID games, DiRT 3, Little Racers Street, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. I have 100% achievements in BlazeRush, Super Toy Cars, Toybox Turbos (as soon as I get someone to do just one online race with me).
It is the only genre I've consistently sought out in my backlog, and one of the few I've tried to look through entirely in the store during a sale.
My stats page only says 2% me vs. 1% average, the same as sports. By raw ratio, those two win, along with casual which is 10% to 5%. Other genres like Action, Indie, and RPG have clear margins.
However, other than games like L4D2, PAYDAY 2, Killing Floor series, and Saints Row series (co-op FPS and TPS), which (individually for the first two games) collectively have a huge chunk of my hours, by my own anecdotal assessment of my experience, it's really racing that I've sought out more than other users. It's just that I've never got into the online components very much of any of them.
Edit: on my stats page, while my percentages add up to 100% (I am aware that they don't have to add up to 100 exactly because of rounding), the average user only adds up to 88%. That ain't right.

Top 3 I play more than most:
-Racing (+23%)
-Indie (+7%)
-Casual (+3%)
Top 3 I play less than most:
-Action (-12%)
-RPG (-4%)
-MMO (-3%) [Funny enough, my playtime percentage on this category is 0%]
The other categories are within 1% of average.

The biggest differences compared to average in my stats are in Racing (16%, avg. 1%) and Sports (14%, avg. 1%). High percentage in Racing doesn't come to me as surprise, but I also assume Rocket League is playing a big role in both categories.

RPG (23% vs 9%), because contrary what people claim in polls, very few people actually play RPGs, even the really simple dumbed-down ARPG subgenres that are so fashionable since 2002 or so.
Adventure (22% vs 10%), although I have a feeling that those HOGs contribute to the most, since
Casual (10% vs 5%) is quite high as well.
On the other hand, simulation, racing, and early access are practically non-existent on my play time.

Head on over to your SG Steam stats page and scroll down to the bottom graph (Playtime per Genre). Hover over each of the categories and find the largest difference between your playtime (in red in my example) and the "average" (in grey).
In my case, I spend 12 percentiles more time in strategy games than the average SteamGifts user, then 8 percentiles
more in "Indie" games. Clearly I play a lot less action games than the average (-20 percentiles) - that's probably because I'm not very good at them! :D
No particular reason for this - just interested to see how people differ.
