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.
King of the Hill
You are not conflicted about how you enjoy video games; you like to win, plain and simple. The campaign is all well and good, maybe you'll run through it once, but when you're playing video games at the end of the day, you are there to dominate or die trying. And there's always a next game.
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.
Proud Recluse
Game time is your time. You like your friends well enough, but you see games as a personal experience. You will not negotiate otherwise. All you want to do after a long day is shut the door, mute your phone, and fire up your favorite single–player game. This is your happy place.
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.
Limit Breaker
If you aren't being tested to the limit at every turn, then you aren't truly enjoying yourself. You thrive on tackling the most difficult challenges and proving to yourself and others that there is literally nothing about a game that can take you down.
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.
Venture Hunter
You applaud games that aren’t complex for complexity's sake. You want clear direction, but you also can't help but enjoy the depth of crafting, the freedom to pursue any number of side quest paths, or fine–tuning your car before a race.
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.
Saga Soldier
Games get their hooks in you by having both a gripping story and satisfying gameplay. That said, you couldn't quite live without one or the other. Entirely plot–driven games can wear on you and purely gameplay–oriented ones leave you itching for a story to connect with. Whether you're enjoying the smooth combat of a fighting game or watching the plot thicken in a detailed cutscene, you’re glued to the screen.
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.
Stargazer
You tend to drift toward games with a slower pace, like sprawling open world games or smaller simulations. You play those fast–paced shooters and platformers occasionally, but there's a special place in your heart for games that let you savor the moment.
