PS Blog:
Hey everyone! Bill from Creat Studios here with a very exciting news: All you fans that are looking for a deeper understanding of yourselves look no further than TestYourself: Psychology coming soon to PSN. Test Yourself introduces audiences to a unique mental experience on the PlayStation Network and will be released as a series of packs, each devoted to specific areas of psychological activity.
Exactly What does gaming offer and why does it have so much appeal among the masses ? dr. nicola davies introduces some of the psychological tricks employed by game makers to keep you playing from using delayed rewards to increase anticipation to introducing ‘cognitive flow’ in the form of heightened engagement through goals, feedback and manageable rules.
Creat Studios brings you all of the fun of a psychological evaluation, without the hefty price tag. The Test Yourself Bundle is designed to evaluate various aspects of who you are, and give you a nice little written assessment to base your self-worth on.
I know exactly what he meant with the red dot game. I could not for the life of me figure out what I was supposed to be doing.
SI: If you're from the UK and aged between 20 and 35 (or thereabouts), you may remember a daunting set of exams from your school years called the '11-plus'. The tests were a little different from your usual head-scratchers, in that there was a 'non-verbal' portion that didn't rely on any prior knowledge of specific topics at all - rather, you were presented with a series of shapes, and have to identify odd ones out, next in sequences and so on.
I feel that reviewers have to put their personal score... Because if they reviewed the "game" after the intelligence test gave them 30%... May be some frustration will bias the review :)
Obviously don't take the test too seriously but still, It's always fun to test himself ! And you can compare yourself with the world...
For 2.99... 3.5/10 it's really severe !!!
Psychological tests, eh? Might be a good thing for some of the people commenting on this site to consider.
You Sir, deserve infinite bubbles!
The "game" is a rip off right now. It shouldn't have even been released. It says it tests ALL these areas and when you buy it only the first two areas, Reaction and knowledge, unlocked. The other 5 or 6 just say "coming soon" and honestly if we have to pay anything to unlock these im calling sony and getting my money back, i dont care what BS they give me.
Its amusing for what you do get to play with, its a bit challenging, but i want the rest unlocked. I was interested in things like emotion and so on, something you dont find online everywhere.
Just finished reading the blog and WOW. Wish i read it before i purchased it. The description on PSN states " Get a FULL reading from ALL the differnt areas" It doesnt state "oh btw you will pay out the arse for each area"
Thats friggin BS....what a waste of money. Your paying 3 dollars for a simple IQ test an a quick time event series that lasts 4 minutes....when all is said and done (grante they keep it at 3 dollars and not more) you will be paying 12 dollars for everything. What a rip off.
I did both tests and am super stooked for the other tests! I hope they unlock the other tests via patch update and not having to charge for the new tests.
Hmm just looked at it and saw it was 2.99 debating if I want to add it to my order of AC:B dlc. I mean I kind of like taking psychology tests but not 100% if worth paying for. Wondering if someone who got it knows if it's worth paying for. See a few comments but would like a bit more input please.
