Editor
Type-Two Persona: Collector, Storyteller
Favourite play activities include:
- Reading Collecting books Editorial work Trying multiple storytelling forms Trying new food
An Editor is a Type-Two Play Persona, combining Collector and Storyteller. They enjoy bringing together different stories and memories, and frequently delight in seeing the comparisons between them. Often Editors are voracious readers, but their thirst for storytelling could easily be found in creative forms - interpretative dance, for example. In fact, Editors might well enjoy lots of different ways of sharing their narrative.
Combines traits of basic, type-one personas:
Collector
Type-One Persona: Collector
Favourite play activities include:
- Collecting (stamps, bottles, etc.) Visiting sets of places Organising, alphabetising, etc.
A Collector is a basic, type-one Play Persona. A collector, you'll be unsurprised to hear, enjoys collecting. This doesn't necessarily mean physical objects, but could just as easily be experiences. Collectors like to set themselves challenges, and are frequently motivated as much by completeness (visiting every single restaurant in the top 100!) as by the experience itself. They may also like to do something on a daily basis, and are motivated by the need to maintain an unbroken chain.
Storyteller
Type-One Persona: Storyteller
Favourite play activities include:
- Writing Lecturing Sharing experiences Imagining Role-Playing
A Storyteller is a basic, Type-One Play Persona. Enjoying sharing their experience (though not necessarily using words) a storyteller often uses play to form memories as much as for the experience itself. They love to imagine - and to share the product of their imaginings with their fellow travellers. On occasion this can tend towards storytellers seeming a little distant from the action, but be reassured that this is just them storing up information to relate back later!
