Profile Details
Each profile type consists of 7 different criteria, each with 2 opposite traits. Everyone is unique and will possess tendencies towards all traits, but will often be more inclined towards one over the other.
In some instances, a player will enjoy both traits equally and be considered balanced on that criterion.
Competitive
This criterion reflects the level of importance that winning is to our enjoyment. Those who simply love the experience of playing are For Fun and those who seek the thrill of winning are For Glory.
Moment Maker
You love playing games for the fun of it and rarely engage in the more adrenaline pumping aspects. The gameplay, the story, the people you're playing with—that's what it's all about for you. If a game doesn't make you happy, then what's the point? If you're having a good time, then you're doing it right.
Players
This criterion demonstrates our preferences for playing with others. Those who enjoy taking in all a game has to offer by themselves are Solo and those who love the experience of interacting with others are Multiplayer.
Party Starter
You've got a healthy friendslist and you're all about the shared experience. While you appreciate what solo games have to offer, playing with others is just... better! Whether you're trying to compete in a few online matches or shooting the breeze with some friends, it's a party either way and you're sending the invites.
Challenge
This criterion underpins our desire for difficulty, or lack thereof. Those who play for the experience, not the frustration, are on the Easy spectrum and those who always take the road least traveled will be on the Hard side.
Smooth Sailor
You'll rise up to meet the occasional challenge, but you’re not exactly kicking hornets nests either. "Try, try again" is not your favorite motto. There's so much more to gaming than a sense of frustration, and you're determined to find it.
Creativity
This criterion illustrates how we progress. Those who forge ahead with purpose and direction are Practical while those who wander and find their own objective are Experimental.
Tinker Tailor
You hunt down games that put creative control squarely in your hands, and you're always ready to get your hands dirty. Creating your own objectives and finding your own adventures is nonnegotiable. If a game has a main storyline, that’s merely background music while you march along to your own beat.
Strategy
This criterion determines how we approach a situation. Those who carefully gauge the situation before acting are more Planning oriented while those who react and adjust on the fly are more Spontaneous.
Astral Planner
Some call you the General, the Mastermind, the Invisible Hand. Are you evil? No one knows. But you’re always thinking ahead in every game you play. Your hands are a blur across the keyboard as you command an entire battlefield. You can see it all and you will never be caught unprepared.
Immersion
This criterion depicts what aspects of a game we are absorbed by most. Those who sink into the feel and flow of the gameplay are Mechanic–focused and those who are swept away by the world and its characters are Story–focused.
Fictioneer
You live for the emotional connection that games create. A well–developed story arc, complex characters, and a vast, beautiful world enlivens your experience so much more than pushing buttons. Sure, gameplay can be satisfying, but you find story and meaning by playing with your friends (and enemies), through incredible triumph and bitter defeat, or even by wandering for wandering's sake.
Pace
This criterion shows how we prefer engaging with our games. Those who savor the moment and take their time are on the Slow side and those who want to progress and make decisions are Fast.
Rose Smeller
For you, gaming is all about savoring the moment. You love to sit back, take your time, and soak it all in. It's like drinking fine wine. You want no part of those games that push you from decision to decision and force you to act. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
