Hey all. I need another set of eyes on this. I want to get kids into groups for that RPG project so I'm trying to come up with a survey to rate them on two scales, one for "gamer" and one for "writer". How's this look?
1. I like to tell my friends about my weekend.
2. I know what PS3 stands for.
3. I have played a game on an Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii
4. I have played a game on a personal computer (PC or Mac).
5. I like to read.
6. I own (or have easy access to) more than one game platform (PC, PS2, Xbox etc).
7. If I had to choose between reading a book or watching a movie, I’d read a book.
8. I know what “Imagery†means.
9. If I had to choose between watching TV or playing a video game, I’d play the video game.
10. I write poetry.
11. A good movie has to have a really intense and interesting story; special effects, or good looking actors are secondary.
12. I like action movies more than any other kind.
13. I like to post about my day on MySpace or other social website.
14. I have “beat†a video game (finished all the levels, defeated the end boss etc).
15. I have a blog.
16. My parents say I play too many video games.
17. My parents say I spend too much time on the phone.
18. People seem to like listening to the way I tell stories.
19. I think it’s fun to figure out the “best†equipment to use in certain video games.
20. I have played a video game a few times; they’re fun.
On the Gamer Scale score a point for: 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 20
On the Writer Scale score a point for: 1, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18
In theory I should be able to divide class into 4 "types" from which to build heterogeneous groups: Non-writers/ Non-gamers, Gamers, Writers, and Writer/Gamers.
Thoughts?

What do you do if someone picks all of the anwsers or has one or two anwsers not there?

Well all the answers means that they're a strong gamer and a strong writer.
Did I miss one of the posible answers in my tally at the end?

Hey Mr. O
I like the questions and I do think this will give you a good idea of your four groups.
Yeah I may have skiped some I would be a middle guy I love writing and gaming (and writing sci-fi storys)
