Jester
Type-Two Persona: Collector, Joker
Favourite play activities include:
- Telling jokes Surreal play Collecting strange items Subtle satire
A Jester is a Type-Two Play Persona, combining Collector and Joker. A Jester is a funny person to have around. They tend to store up jokes and deploy them with regularity. But remember, the Jester has a hidden knack of speaking truth to power, always with a cheeky smile. Jesters might also have quirky habits - collecting an odd category of item, for example. There's probably some method to their madness, but good luck unpicking it!
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.
Joker
Type-One Persona: Joker
Favourite play activities include:
- Comedy Practical jokes Puns Play-acting Surreal play Colour runs
A Joker is a basic, Type-One Play Persona. A joker loves to muck around, and frequently resists rules and constraints. They'll be the one who relishes chaos and the unexpected. They can be difficult to have around if you're a stickler for rules - but they can probably teach you a thing or two about letting go of your preconceived ideas of how play should unfold, and encourage you to go with the flow!
