Psychographic profile
From MTG Salvation Wiki
A psychographic profile is a "psychological profile" (of a Magic: The Gathering player) or a "player type".
MTG.com columnist and Head Designer Mark Rosewater wrote of psychographic profiles:
| “ | After numerous years, we’ve come to the conclusion that there are three basic types of Magic players. The fancy term for these categories is "psychographic profiles." A psychographic profile separates players into categories based on their psychological make-up. What motivates that player to play? What kind of cards do they like? What kind of things encourages that player to keep on playing?[1] | ” |
Mark Rosewater claims that forthcoming expansions are designed with cards that will appeal to players of all profiles, that Wizards of the Coast categorizes its Magic consumers into three psychographic profiles, and that there are three profiles; Johnny, Timmy, and Spike.
