Hey everyone! I’m conducting research on the correlation between Big Five personality traits and gaming motivations, specifically whether personality predicts things like preference for competitive play, story-driven games, or creative/exploration-focused gameplay.
The survey takes 8-12 minutes and at the end you get a personalised profile with:
Your Big Five personality scores
Your gaming motivation breakdown across 12 categories
Radar graphs showing where your personality and gaming style overlap
It’s based on Donnellan et al.'s Mini-IPIP and an adjusted version of Quantic Foundry’s Gamer Motivation Model by Nick Yee.
You don’t need to use your real name. It’s for me to filter out duplicates if somebody fills it out multiple times. Thx a lot in advance!
