How DISC Personality types influence Video Game Avatar Selection and In-Game Decision Making

This academic article explores the relationship between D.I.S.C personality types, avatar selection, and in-game decision-making in video games. The authors investigate how different personality types are associated with specific avatar choices and how this influences decision-making strategies during gameplay. The article describes the D.I.S.C personality assessment and its four categories: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. The authors discuss how avatars in video games can be customized to match players' preferences and personalities and how this can impact their gaming experience. The study recruited 431 participants who completed an online survey assessing their D.I.S.C personality type, avatar preferences, and in-game decision-making. The survey data were analyzed to identify significant differences between the personality types. The authors suggest that understanding the correlation between D.I.S.C personality types, avatar selection, and decision-making in video games can provide valuable insights into the psychology of video gameplay, leading to developing approaches to enhance player engagement and performance.
