For this project, I will argue how different personality types influence different aspects of gaming and the types of interactions and fulfillment that individuals look for when they choose to play games. The main personality type test that these arguments will be based on is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which splits people into 16 different types of personalities. These personalities are based on introversion or extroversion (I\/E), sensory or intuitive (S\/N), thinking or perceptive (T\/P) and perceptive or judgmental (P\/J).<\/p>\n

After focusing on the different things that each personality type looks for in a game–board game and video game–then I’m going to shift focus to how different personality types may play a similar game. Specifically I’ll be looking at how different personality types may be apt to play role playing games and sandbox games, in this case\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>,\u00a0Dungeons and Dragons\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Grand Theft Auto<\/em>. In order to better explain the decisions that different personalities make in these games, there will be an incorporation of scholastic texts and articles in order to better understand different rhetorical appeals and understandings of definitions of play. By defining what play is, or could be, one will better be able to see what ways an individual seeks out games that invite and encourage their definition of play.<\/p>\n

Thesis:\u00a0<\/strong>While different games obviously have appeals to different people, the following that games gain is based on how they appeal and are able to appeal to varying personality types. These different appeals manifest through differing definitions of play which are directly related to the personality type of an individual.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
