I recently downloaded the latest response stats for the HEXAD 12 User Types test, and fed them into ChatGPT to analyse. I thought it was very interesting what came back, and it supported what I had observed in the past – so thought I would share it here!
1. Gender-Based Trends
Females:
- Predominantly align with Socialiser and Philanthropist types, indicating a strong preference for community engagement and altruistic behaviors.
- The dominance of Socialiser decreases slightly in older age groups, replaced by Philanthropist, reflecting a shift toward purpose-driven motivations.
Males:
- Tend to exhibit Achiever and Player traits, emphasizing goal-oriented behaviors, competitions, and extrinsic rewards.
- Achiever remains a strong motivator across all age groups for males, with Player peaking in younger users and declining over time.
2. Age Group Dominance
Younger Users (18–29):
- Continue to show higher prevalence of Free Spirit traits, reflecting a desire for autonomy, exploration, and creative freedom.
- Player traits are also slightly stronger in this age group, indicating the appeal of rewards and achievements early in life.
Older Users (30–49):
- Display more balanced traits, with notable increases in Philanthropist motivations, suggesting a shift toward altruism and purpose-driven engagement.
- Achiever remains prominent, indicating continued goal-oriented behavior.
3. Gender and Age Interaction
Younger Females (18–20):
- Exhibit strong Socialiser and Philanthropist tendencies, valuing relationships, community, and purpose.
- Free Spirit is also significant, reflecting creativity and independence.
Older Males (30–49):
- Demonstrate higher inclinations toward Achiever and Free Spirit, focusing on mastery, autonomy, and personal growth.
4. Players Are Reward-Oriented but Underrepresented
- Player remains one of the least dominant traits across all groups but is more pronounced in younger users (18–20), aligning with early-stage life goals and aspirations.
- This suggests that gamified reward systems may resonate well with younger users but require a balanced approach for older demographics.
5. Philanthropists Increase with Age
