CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this assessment measure?

It estimates the gameplay motivations a person tends to prefer in multiplayer online games. Results are summarized across four styles: exploring, socializing, competing, and collecting/achieving.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Estimated completion time is about 8 minutes. The assessment includes 39 questions.

How should items be answered?

Select the option that best matches typical behavior in multiplayer games, not an idealized preference. If unsure, choose the response that fits most situations.

How are results interpreted?

Scores reflect relative emphasis across the four styles rather than a single fixed category. A mixed profile is common and indicates multiple motivations.

Does the result predict skill level or mental health status?

No; it describes play preferences and motivational patterns only. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool and does not assess pathology.
