Abstract

While some promising early work exists, gamified surveys are still not widespread. In this work-in-progress paper, we present our methodology for gamifying surveys, which combines the rigor of survey design with the creativity and affordances of game design and makes use of an existing tool to ease development. We illustrate our methodology with four different gamified surveys focused on personality tests and frameworks---in general and in the context of games. We discuss the challenges and opportunities and describe a research agenda to advance this work.

Gamifying psychological assessment: insights from gamifying the thematic apperception test
FDG '19: Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games

Gamification and serious games have the capacity to increase engagement in often non-engaging contexts such as a test. In this study, we gamified a psychological test, the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), with the player motivation concepts of ...
