Greetings, programs! With the MCDM community's help, I've prepared a survey of GM styles, so that I can use factor analysis to find the common variables underlying GMs' responses, and come up with a scientific answer to "what kinds of GM styles are there?" The survey has 43 questions and takes a few minutes to complete. The more people answer, the better the data we'll get.

EDIT: We got 101 responses and now we're analysing the data. First results: There are 9 dimensions of GM style! Not sure what they are, but there's 9 of them.

You can answer all of those questions with one of the intermediate options. If it's entirely 50/50, neither/neither, or both?both?both., you should answer with the middle option. The spectrum has a middle.

    I did with most of them, but they still made me scratch my head a bit, simply because they don't quite fit into my mental model of "game master" or in the case of "narrative vs rules heavy" because i am not sure what kind of games are what and ultimately if those things are mutual exclusive to begin with.
