All the way from the forgotten year of 1996 is Dr. Richard Bartle and his classification of video game players (or people who do something virtually). If you don’t want to get real deep into all that, it’s basically a dichotomous chart that places you into categories by percentage in regards to what you like to spend your online time doing. I personally believe that this applies to most online interactions now and not just games and Dr. Bartle was well ahead of his time.
For the purpose of this data aggregation, I changed his term ‘Killer’ to ‘Troll’ for parent reasons and because it seems more applicable to the youth I teach. This idea to use this quiz was originally pulled from John Meehan and I took it a step by making a giant wall chart of my classes and an explanation of what each entails to the interested passerby. I used black duct tape, a hot glue gun, the Elison machine and some scissors to make it happen.
Looking at this picture now, I think I’ll add the BARTLE TAXONOMY OF PLAYER TYPES in big cutout, capital letters in the blank area to tie it all together!
