The Dart Board Framework: Persona-Centric Gamification to Break Boredom in L&D

“Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning.” – Diane Ackerman

Gamer’s Psychology

Richard Bartle classified gamers into four categories based on their psychological traits. While many individuals exhibit traits from multiple categories, there’s often a dominant trait that shapes their overall gaming preference.

We at iamneo, used similar gaming persona tests and drafted 5 major gaming characters among the learners.
