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.
Loyal Wanderer
You usually engage in a one–player experience because you enjoy taking in everything a game has to offer at your own pace. If your friend wants to play with you, you'll sigh, say yes, and maybe even have a good time, but secretly you prefer the solo journey.
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.
Feint–Hearted
You like to strategize and plan ahead almost as much as you love to dive in and think on your feet. Races are won on the racetrack, not in the conference room. So while there is definitely a plan of action in your head, you trust your instincts to guide you once the boots are on the ground.
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.
Tale Spinner
Inventive gameplay mechanics can bring your experience to the next level, but you play games almost exclusively for their story. Regardless of whether that story is given to you or created by you, you find a well–crafted narrative to be a deeply enriching and rewarding journey.
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.
