SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Example Questions From the Test
Most questions in this test concern behavior in massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs). If you have never played such games, please imagine how you would behave if you did.
Key features of these games include:
• a large, diverse game world with many locations, character roles, and items with different properties;
• freedom of action, no linear storyline, and the inability to fully “complete” the game;
• many other players with whom one can interact: communicate, fight, and form groups (clans).
- Chatting with friends in the tavern
- Hunting orcs alone to gain experience points
- Defeat a powerful monster
- Brag about it to your friends
- Taking part in the storyline
- Receiving the reward at the end

Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology Type - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to assess individual differences in preferred motivations and play styles in multiplayer digital game contexts. The Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology Type classifies responses into four broad gamer style categories to support interpretation of what a person tends to seek from gameplay.
The questionnaire contains 39 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. It is presented as a self-report inventory and is commonly used for informal profiling of gaming preferences rather than clinical diagnosis; results are best interpreted in context with the respondent’s gaming history and current interests.
