1	# Game Design Big Five Personality Audit
2
3	Audit a design by asking which OCEAN trait expressions it feels comfortable for, rewards, strains, or quietly repels.
4
5	Use this skill to evaluate how a game, feature, flow, or system fits different personality-style preferences using the Big Five: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.
6
7	Treat these as fit lenses, not diagnostic labels.
8
9	## Core principle
10
11	This is not about pretending a game can be reverse-engineered into a clinical personality test.
12
13	The useful question is simpler:
14	- what kind of novelty appetite does this design reward?
15	- what kind of structure tolerance does it demand?
16	- what level of social intensity does it assume?
17	- how cooperative or adversarial does it feel?
18	- how emotionally rough, stressful, or safe is it?
19
20	Those questions map surprisingly well onto OCEAN-style differences.
21
22	## Start with the reference notes
23
24	Before auditing, read `references/big-five-notes.md`.
25
26	That file contains the trait summaries, game-design interpretation rules, and anti-pattern warnings for using OCEAN responsibly.
27
28	## What to produce
29
30	Generate:
31	1. Audit target - what is being reviewed and what it is supposed to do
32	2. Trait-fit readout - how the design lands for each Big Five trait dimension
33	3. Comfort and strain profile - who is likely to feel naturally at home versus overloaded or alienated
34	4. Cross-trait tensions - where serving one trait expression harms another
35	5. Design implications - what the design is really asking players to tolerate or enjoy
36	6. Recommendations - what to strengthen, soften, separate, or clarify
37
38	## Process
39
40	### 1. Define the audit target
41	Clarify:
42	- what is being audited
43	- what role it plays in the product
44	- whether it is core, optional, onboarding, progression, monetization, social, competitive, or endgame
45	- whether the design needs broad accessibility or can be narrow and demanding
46
47	Write:
48	- Design being audited
49	- Intended job
50	- Scope
51	- Breadth requirement
52
53	### 2. Audit for Openness
54	Treat this as the novelty, curiosity, ambiguity, and imagination lens.
55
56	Ask:
57	- Does the design reward curiosity, experimentation, or unusual combinations?
58	- Is there room for self-expression, aesthetic appreciation, or discovery?
59	- Does it support multiple paths, interpretations, or play styles?
60	- Does it punish deviation from the obvious route?
61	- Is novelty meaningful, or just noisy and confusing?
62
63	Look for:
64	- discovery
65	- emergent interactions
66	- expressive customization
67	- aesthetic richness
68	- non-obvious strategies
69	- mystery and experimentation
70
71	Interpretation:
72	- High-openness fit usually means the design feels rich, curious, and rewarding to explore
73	- Lower-openness fit usually means the design is more familiar, explicit, stable, and convention-friendly
74
75	### 3. Audit for Conscientiousness
76	Treat this as the structure, planning, discipline, and completion lens.
77
78	Ask:
79	- Does the design reward planning, consistency, optimization, and order?
80	- Are goals, tasks, and systems legible enough to support disciplined play?
81	- Does the design create satisfying structure or oppressive maintenance burden?
82	- Are checklists and routines rewarding or exhausting?
83	- How much does the experience punish inconsistency or sloppy play?
84
85	Look for:
86	- routine loops
87	- optimization pressure
88	- collection/completion structures
89	- schedules and timers
90	- ordered progression
91	- maintenance burden
92
93	Interpretation:
94	- High-conscientiousness fit often means the design rewards planning and follow-through
95	- Lower-conscientiousness fit often means the design is more improvisational, loose, forgiving, or anti-obligation
96
97	### 4. Audit for Extraversion
98	Treat this as the social intensity, energy, visibility, and stimulation lens.
99
100	Ask:
101	- Does the design come alive around other people?
102	- Does it reward visibility, talkativeness, presence, or leadership?
103	- Is there a lot of social energy, noise, or activity?
104	- Does it over-demand participation from players who would rather engage quietly or solo?
105	- Can introversion-style players engage meaningfully without feeling socially crowded?
106
107	Look for:
108	- multiplayer dependence
109	- group rituals
110	- chat and voice usage
111	- social visibility
112	- team roles
113	- high-arousal action
114
115	Interpretation:
116	- **High-extraversion
