Thread: Gamer Motivation Profile

A pretty fun test turned up a few days ago. With this tool you will find out what makes you play video games and what you like best about them. I think it'll be fun to see how many types of gamers we have here.

The test will take but a few minutes. You don't need to make an account, the site will eventually ask you if you want to see your results without signing up. emoji
TAKE THE TEST

These were my results:

Destruction (90%): Gamers who score high on this component are agents of chaos and destruction. They love having many tools at their disposal to blow things up and cause relentless mayhem. They enjoy games with lots of guns and explosives. They gravitate towards titles like Call of Duty and Battlefield. And if they accidentally find themselves in games like The Sims, they are the ones who figure out innovative ways to get their Sims killed.

Excitement (83%): Gamers who score high on this component enjoy games that are fast-paced, intense, and provide a constant adrenaline rush. They want to be surprised. They want gameplay that is full of action and thrills, and rewards them for rapid reaction times. While this style of gameplay can be found in first-person shooters like Halo, it can also be found in games like Street Fighter and Injustice, as well as energetic platformers like BIT.TRIP RUNNER.

Completion (16%): Gamers with high Completion scores want to finish everything the game has to offer. They try to complete every mission, find every collectible, and discover every hidden location. For some players, this may mean completing every listed achievement or unlocking every possible character/move in a game. For gamers who score high on Customization, this may mean collecting costumes and mounts in games like World of Warcraft.

Power (2%): Gamers who score high on this component strive for power in the context of the game world. They want to become as powerful as possible, seeking out the tools and equipment needed to make this happen. In RPGs and action games, this may mean maxing stats or acquiring the most powerful weapons or artifacts. Power and Completion often go hand in hand, but some players enjoy collecting cosmetic items without caring about power, and some players prefer attaining power through strategic optimization rather than grinding.

Competition (8%): Gamers who score high on this component enjoy competing with other players, often in duels, matches, or team-vs-team scenarios. Competitive gameplay can be found in titles like Starcraft, League of Legends, or the PvP Battlegrounds in World of Warcraft. But competition isn’t always overtly combative; competitive players may care about being acknowledged as the best healer in a guild, or having a high ranking/level on a Facebook farming game relative to their friends.

Community (2%): Gamers who score high on Community enjoy socializing and collaborating with other people while gaming. They like chatting and grouping up with other players. This might be playing Portal 2 with a friend, playing Mario Kart at a party, or being part of a large guild/clan in an online game. They enjoy being part of a team working towards a common goal. For them, games are an integral part of maintaining their social network.

Fantasy (94%): Gamers who score high on Fantasy want their gaming experiences to allow them to become someone else, somewhere else. They enjoy the sense of being immersed in an alter ego in a believable alternate world, and enjoy exploring a game world just for the sake of exploring it. These gamers enjoy games like Skyrim, Fallout, and Mass Effect for their fully imagined alternate settings.

Story (86%): Gamers who score high on Story want games with elaborate campaign storylines and a cast of multidimensional characters with interesting back-stories and personalities. They take the time to delve into the back-stories of characters in games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, and enjoy the elaborate and thoughtful narratives in games like The Last of Us and BioShock. Gamers who score low on Story tend to find dialogue and quest descriptions to be distracting and skip through them if possible.

Discovery (93%): Gamers who score high on Discovery are constantly asking “What if?” For them, game worlds are fascinating contraptions to open up and tinker with. In an MMO, they might swim out to the edge of the ocean to see what happens. In MineCraft, they might experiment with whether crafting outcomes differ by the time of day or proximity to zombies. They “play” games in the broadest sense of the word, often in ways not intended or imagined by the game’s developers.

Design (75%): Gamers who score high on this component want to actively express their individuality in the game worlds they find themselves in. In games like Mass Effect, they put a lot of time and effort in the character creation process. In city-building games or space strategy games, they take the time to design and customize exactly how their city or spaceships look. To this end, they prefer games that provide the tools and assets necessary to make this possible and easy to do.

Me, according to the test:
Action-Oriented, Spontaneous, Relaxed, Social, Grounded, and Practical

My gaming Style is: Action-Oriented, Spontaneous, Driven, Grounded, and Creative.

Spot on, if I do say so myself.

My results are: Action-Oriented, Persistent, Driven, and Creative. It's ok I guess…
It's hard to say because I like multiple game styles. (The same goes with movies, I enjoy almost any genre (I dislike drama and romance))

Did not work for me… 1/10 ign

Mine says: Action-Oriented, Spontaneous, Relaxed, Gregarious, and Practical

Destruction: 97%
Excitement: 59%
Challenge: 6%
Strategy: 6%
Completion: 51%
Power: 21%
Competition: 23%
Community: 87%
Fantasy: 39%
Story: 39%
Discovery: 50%
Design: 28%

So I guess I really like Action and Social games, and am not bothered by Achievements and Mastering games.

I love how i'm into Relaxed Action games emoji

Action 72% destruction bwhahahaha!

Immersion 30% what this means..


Social 87% get a group and BLOW stuff up


Creativity 39% Minecraft anyone ?


Mastery 13% I am the master of …. Something




Achevment 95% gotta collect them all !!!!!

So, Action: 90% and Social: 93%. I just like online action games like Team Fortress 2 and World of Tanks Blitz. I find games which lacked shooting and action pretty boring. Also, I'm not a big fan of Minecraft, but it looks more fun when played online.

People, why you no printscreen the diagram?emoji

On a laptop/deskop you press a key on your keyboard called 'prnt scrn'. You can paste/save it in Paint.

On Apple devices you press the lead button with the square (at the bottom of your device) plus to lock button. emoji
