Well, I simply realised that I’ll have missed the 10-year anniversary of the HEXAD!! (Try the brand new 12 query quiz!!)

I suppose I truly created the HEXAD in 2013 – however it’s a bit fluffy because it went by so many iterations earlier than the HEXAD was finalised! Below you possibly can see a few of the evolution. There was way more than this in fact.

One of the issues constructing this taught me was that you’re not all the time proper! I too many missteps and had a variety of assist. Richard Bartle, Amy Jo Kim and Nicole Lazaro all gave me hundreds and a great deal of assist as I developed the kinds.

Since then, they’ve taken on a lifetime of their very own, thanks in no small half to Gustavo Tondello and Lennart Nacke whose work on validation of my User Types quiz skyrocketed the recognition of the HEXAD.

Today the HEXAD has been utilized in a whole bunch of initiatives and analysis papers, one thing I by no means ever dreamed of and one thing that makes me extremely proud.

So – comfortable tenth birthday (ish) to the User Types HEXAD and right here is to the following 10 years!

Thank you everybody – I like you all.
