As so many Blapril contributors have posted their Gamer Motivation Profile, I thought I’d follow suit and write about mine. The survey is provided by Quantic Foundry who according to their own website are a “a market research company focused on gamer motivation”. Their aim is to “combine social science with data science to understand what drives gamers”. It’s all presented in a very slick and comprehensive fashion. As with all such services, you have to answer a series of questions designed to probe your gamer psychology and ascertain what drives you when playing video games. Once you complete the multiple choice questionnaire you’re presented with a graphic which shows your primary and secondary motivations, along with a written summary. You can drill down into the data and see how your answers determine the outcome.
