New Quiz System 101

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 | News

We are launching a new quiz system today… we are still tweaking it and will be doing more announcements about it as we create some more integration into other parts of your profile, but for now you can take the new quizzes and get some new signatures for your results. The quizzes have some new components:

  1. Quizzes are no longer in your DNA Panel… they are on the Quizzes page.
  2. Every quiz you take, gives you a dynamic signature that is available in the badges section of your profile. Check mine out!
  3. Every quiz you take contributes to your gamerDNA traits. As you take each quiz, the resolution of it gets better and better, and as we add more quizzes we hope to make it more and more accurate. Here is what your trait panel could look like. We will also be introducing a dynamic signature for the trait panel as well shortly.
  4. There are numerous traits in the system, and as we add more quizzes to test other behaviors, we will add them. In your GamerDNA traits, we display the top six traits that you show the largest propensity towards. This is refelected as “More” or “Less” of that trait. So if you are more inclined to certain things, that trait is “+”. If you are less inclinded to certain things, the trait is “-”.
  5. When you complete a quiz you also get players with similar results that match you, and you also get lists of games that potentially match you as well based on your results.
  6. If you are not registered, and you take a quiz, but registering afterwards, your results are saved… so if you are an unregistered member, you can still give them a try! You do have to be registered to use the dynamic signatures.

So go take some quizzes! I hope everyone has fun with the new system. As I said, we will be ramping up adding quizzes as we go a long and hope to offer a dozen or so quizzes eventually that test across all sorts of genres and behaviors. As always, we are interested in feedback!
