The Bartle Test: My Results

Image
This was my result from taking the Bartle Test.  The Bartle Test is based on the player types identified by the legendary Richard Bartle in his paper,  Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades: Players Who Suit MUDs . It is strongly recommended that you read this paper if you wish to find out more about your player type, and what it all means. Bartle revisits and expands upon these ideas in his book,  Designing Virtual Worlds , which is also recommended if you wish to delve a little deeper. The original Bartle Test was created by Erwin S. Andreasen and Brandon Downey and this implementation is based on the question data which Andreasen has made available at  http://www.andreasen.org/bartle/ . The impetus behind creating this version was the demise of the version hosted at GamerDNA, which I previously used when teaching.
