It would be fair to say that, even though Quadrant 1 people are diametrically opposed to Quadrant 3, they fundamentally rely on Q3 people to be a Q1. Conversely, Q3 could exist without Q1, but you would most likely see a migration from Q1 to Q3. I'd venture to say you see that migration back-and-forth currently.

well of course, you Q4 people and especially you outliers that have no neighbors are exceptional and noteworthy just like everybody else.

"joker fun + brain of the riddler", that is a great description.... It's true, if you are in Q2 or Q4 u are off-axis of the norm (the dotted line), a rather off-kilter mix of traits.

Thanks, I don't know why I said -8 (I scored -2) but still in the 'correct' quadrant '4'

 

Just a quick count, and it isn't the loneliest quad to be in, but certainly not the busiest:

 

Q1: 27

Q2: 23

Q3: 196

Q4: 31

So most respondents appear in the 'assertive maturity' quad, hmm - interesting...

Not sure that is what I have experienced in free-roam, but not everyone who plays comes on here and does surveys/polls

Assertive Maturity: M -10,-9

 

I don't start conflict, but if conflict comes my way I don't back down! My code: If they kill me, I have to kill them twice. If I can't, then I retreat to my apartment, kick back, smoke a bowl, listen to Blue Ark, put Weasel News on and watch my new nemesis try to defend against all the Muggers, Mercs, Bounties etc. that I can afford.

It is interesting to note that the plot of the graphs migrate over time. Perhaps it is the maturation of the GTA community, cash cards, etc. but nobody can debate that this social experiment that is GTAO is working!

Uhh... Why not...

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see any migration over time... Quadrant 3 seems heavily populated from the start.

• "Social Experiment"
  • What is the actual experiment? How about the Hypothesis? This is just some data collection and plotting. Heck, you don't even state what formulas (IDW? Kriging?) you are using to plot those blobs/"Cluster Analysis".
• "Public Poll"
  • While you need the names to determine where the points are going to go, it poses some issues with privacy... Perhaps as an off-site based poll using some anonymizes-but-linked-to-forum-name way to match the scores to points?
  • Honestly/Showing off can skew the data. How are you going to determine that all of those (-12,-12) or (12,12) players are really like that?
  • People aren't going to report that they love blowing up rank 3 players if they think that this will hurt how others view them. Rare, but if you're known on here for being "nice" but post here that you just love griefing others, that's some bad publicity...
  • This also means that that huge cluster around (-10,-10) may also be people who want to show off that they are mature. Example: A guy may go with a "healthy food option" to impress a date but would deep down want that "free if you eat it all" 72 ounce steak.
  • You're also only most likely going to get those who want to vote/participate to do so. As such, there can be some significant over-representation in some areas.
• The Questions
  • I know, try and answer quickly, but I've never been able to do so unless the questions are actually timed. Besides, some of these are bound to cause some pauses...
  • What if I want more combat vehicles/weapons and more missions? What if I find I prefer being in a tank because it's safer against NPCs (since I'm doing missions all the time)? Heck, what about those who just don't play Public Lobby Free Roams? Shouldn't that be a factor?
  • What if my idea of a 13 year-old boy's humor is vastly different than the one you think of? What if the sniper is going after me during an invite-only car meet? How about blowing up documents because the mission has become essentially impossible? What if the other players put their PVs in bad spots, making it really convenient (if I don't have to pay) to just blow 5 of them up in a mission instead of playing "Valet" because they couldn't be bothered to learn the mission? Eventually, what about legit rank 999 players?
  • As shown, these questions might be better off as a "Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, Strongly Disagree" scale in order to better capture the nuances included.
  • Or define the scope better, such as "only in Free Roam" or "If you only do Invite Only, then..."
  • "None of These" that also adds a point? Shouldn't that not change anything or is it a catch for those who want those extreme scores?
  • Several of these questions seem like they can fit into either axis. Unprovoked killing/retribution, opponent is rank 7...
• The Axes/Quadrants
  • The Quadrants don't seem to match the axes... It could just be that the names you use mean something else to me...
    • (-12,12) would be Quadrant 2, so shouldn't that be "Passive Immature"? Sounds off, but perhaps those who call their tanks to missions that don't really need it? Toss people out of their PVs when they're on missions...
    • (12,12) would be Quadrant 1, so shouldn't that be "Aggressive Immature"? As in, I call my tank (or now get a jet), spawnkill as much as I can, call everyone names, then once killed I'm in passive until I can restart.
    • (-12,-12) would be Quadrant 3, so shouldn't that be "Passive Mature" (or something like that)? As in, I'm going to be nice and help out but if I get backstabbed, I'm going to most likely leave the session. A lesser value (-6,-6) may indicate more likely to return fire than leave session.
    • (12,-12) would be Quadrant 4, so shouldn't that be "Aggressive Mature"? As in, I lay traps, bait and backup plans and then kill you, your friends and your crew meticulously as you try and come after me. "Balanced Antagonism" seems better covering an area around (12,0).
• The Plot itself (Just some personal B&M... I like clean graphs)
  • Seriously, what's wrong with a nice white background and black axes/text? How about standard black dots instead of the pastel rainbow currently used?
  • The colors seem to indicate something, but isn't detailed as to what it is... If it does indicate something, what is it; if it doesn't indicate anything, maybe go with something less vibrant...
  • Mushroom cloud? Really?

As a possible future addition, perhaps look into multiple clusters. Quadrant 3 seems like it might do better as its own cluster.

 

Hope some of this can help you out. As long as they're done well, these data analyses provide some interesting insight into whatever the scope is.

ScubaDave speaks>> It's a micro migration, picked up my my software that said, hey things are falling into Q3 slightly. But ur right, it may not be significant, but we'll see.

• "Social Experiment"
  • What is the actual experiment? How about the Hypothesis? This is just some data collection and plotting. Heck, you don't even state what formulas (IDW? Kriging?) you are using to plot those blobs/"Cluster Analysis".

ScubaDave speaks>> I said the "social experiment that is GTAO..." so ask Rockstar what their trying to do. This post is part data collection, part self-reflection for some people. Formulas? Those are secret, but it has an algo and macros and uses Excel and formulas. You needn't worry about it.

• "Public Poll"
  • While you need the names to determine where the points are going to go, it poses some issues with privacy... Perhaps as an off-site based poll using some anonymizes-but-linked-to-forum-name way to match the scores to points? ScubaDave speaks>> you think this is a joke?
  • Honestly/Showing off can skew the data. How are you going to determine that all of those (-12,-12) or (12,12) players are really like that? ScubaDave speaks>> I don't but outliers get picked up. It knows when ur lying. Just the fact that ur lying gets u plotted in a particular quad.
  • People aren't going to report that they love blowing up rank 3 players if they think that this will hurt how others view them. Rare, but if you're known on here for being "nice" but post here that you just love griefing others, that's some bad publicity... ScubaDave speaks>> well if people answered quickly it wouldnt be like that, but yes, it could be skewed by that, but the data is aggregate as well as individual, so those liars are not going to change the size and shape of the maxi pad. Dangit!!! I didn't mean to type that, now everyone calling the cluster a maxipad has me saying it. I meant to say the cluster doesnt change.
  • This also means that that huge cluster around (-10,-10) may also be people who want to show off that they are mature. Example: A guy may go with a "healthy food option" to impress a date but would deep down want that "free if you eat it all" 72 ounce steak.

• The Questions
  • I know, try and answer quickly, but I've never been able to do so unless the questions are actually timed. Besides, some of these are bound to cause some pauses... ScubaDave speaks>> then ur not following directions.
  • What if I want more combat vehicles/weapons and more missions? What if I find I prefer being in a tank because it's safer against NPCs (since I'm doing missions all the time)? Heck, what about those who just don't play Public Lobby Free Roams? Shouldn't that be a factor? ScubaDave speaks>> yes we can discover that. its in the questions, albeit hidden.
  • What if my idea of a 13 year-old boy's humor is vastly different than the one you think of? ScubaDave speaks>> doesnt matter just the fact that u consider yourself that is what matters... What if the sniper is going after me during an invite-only car meet? How about blowing up documents because the mission has become essentially impossible? as opposed to leaving What if the other players put their PVs in bad spots, making it really convenient (if I don't have to pay) to just blow 5 of them up in a mission instead of playing "Valet" because they couldn't be bothered to learn the mission? Eventually, what about legit rank 999 players? verrrry interesting that you made the distinction of legit (vs. hacked) Level 999s... the poll said nothing about how the level 999 was attained, just that u covet it.
  • As shown, these questions might be better off as a "Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, Strongly Disagree" scale in order to better capture the nuances included.ScubaDave speaks>> yes it originally would have been if the poll could handle it. originally it was a post, not a poll to enable this, but participation would be low and much harder to tally.
  • Or define the scope better, such as "only in Free Roam" or "If you only do Invite Only, then..."

Well, it is you, so the idea that some joking exists persists. And how would that be a joke anyway? It's commonly done in human-subject analyses; Paul, Susan and Dave become Subject 1, 2, and 3 (Or maybe 9347, 1793, 1394, if you want to obfuscate things more...) in order to provide privacy and more honest answers.

 

As for the "None of the Above", it isn't explicitly mentioned that it doesn't add a point, so you might want to add that in on the first post. I'm sure you know that there are some who aren't going to count the possible answers, come up with 13 and then sit around thinking about it.

 

And as for the "Social experiment that is GTAO", looks like I misread that section. Sorry about that. But I don't think R* is using this as a social experiment, though I would say CCP might be doing so with EVE...

 

And thanks for answering quickly, this clears some stuff up for me and yet spawns more questions (formulas!)...
