Title: Would you like to take a survey?
Post by: MrOsterman on May 01, 2007, 08:45:34 AM
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?

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.
