I ask two questions for every player-type pairing: one phrased such that a "Definitely" answer favors one of the player types, the other phrased such than a "Definitely" answer favors the other player type. Since each of 7 player types is paired to the other 6 player types, this amounts to (7 × 6 =) 42 questions. In the listing below, the first "PT" column gives the player type whose value will be added to for that question.

Each question adds a value to to the player types in the first column: Always=100, Usually=75, Sometimes=50, Rarely=25, Never=0. The final sum of each player type is divided by 6 in order to normalize the results so the maximum possible value for a player type is 100.

Here are the questions used in my questionaire to determine which kind of roleplayer you are. Click on a heading to sort by that column.
