Your way of playing is your superpower.
While everyone else is telling you to "grind harder" and "push through," we've realized something important: many successful people don’t feel like they're working. They've learned to align with their natural way of being.
Based on breakthrough research by Dr. Stuart Brown, Play Personalities reveals your authentic approach to life, work, and relationships. When you understand yours, you stop fighting against yourself and start flowing with your natural strengths.
The old way: Discipline. Hustle. Push through. Fight your nature. Our way: Flow with your natural Play Personality. Work becomes play.
Most personal development makes life feel like homework. We help you turn it into play—and get better results while having more fun.
You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're just playing by the wrong rules.
Your Play Personality isn't just about fun—it's your natural approach to solving problems, building relationships, and navigating challenges. It influences how you think, work, and connect with others.
When you understand your Play Personality, you discover that your natural way of "playing" is actually your greatest strength.
Become a member of the Play Personalities community.

Choose beautiful wallpapers designed specifically for your type. Every time you look at your phone, you'll remember your unique strengths and natural approach.

You stop trying to be someone else and start excelling as yourself.
Dr. Stuart Brown is a medical doctor, psychiatrist, and founder of the National Institute for Play. His groundbreaking research identified eight distinct Play Personalities through studying thousands of individuals.
His work has been featured in National Geographic, The New York Times, and his acclaimed book "Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul."
This isn't pop psychology. It's science-backed understanding of human nature.
Play Personalities is a growing movement of people who've stopped trying to be someone else and started thriving as themselves.

Play Personalities is a concept developed by Dr. Stuart Brown through decades of research that identifies 8 distinct ways people naturally engage with play and life. Each personality type represents a unique approach to problem-solving, relationships, and personal growth. The eight types are: Joker, Kinesthete, Explorer, Competitor, Director, Collector, Artist/Creator, and Storyteller.
Not quite. While many personality tests tell you what you are, Play Personalities shows you how you naturally engage with the world. It's based on Dr. Stuart Brown's research into play patterns and reveals your innate approach to life, work, and relationships. Instead of putting you in a box, it helps you recognize and consciously use your natural strengths.
Most people have one dominant personality and one or two secondary ones. Some find they use different personalities in different contexts - for example, one at work and another in personal life. This flexibility is natural and part of what makes each person unique.
Your core Play Personality tends to remain stable, but you may develop and express different aspects as you grow. Life experiences can also reveal secondary personalities or help you become more conscious of how you use your dominant type.
Dr. Stuart Brown is a pioneering researcher who founded the National Institute for Play. His decades of research into play behavior has shown that our play patterns aren't random - they're sophisticated approaches to life that influence everything we do, from career choices to relationships.

The community is founded and actively run by Jakub, a UX designer and product maker passionate about design, technology, and making the world work (and look) better. After trying countless self-development techniques, hacks, and courses over the years, he stumbled upon the Play Personalities concept and realized there wasn't much good content about it out there—so he built it himself. What started as a personal experiment to help himself (and test some cool new tools) has grown into the project you see today. His experience in UX design means he's constantly working with people to create things that actually work for them, giving him insight into human behavior, psychology, and what makes people tick.
If you're unsure, we recommend starting with the Community Subscription. This gives you access to all eight personality types so you can explore and discover which resonates most with your authentic way of being. Plus, you'll have the community to help you figure it out!
We recommend starting with the Community Subscription because:
You get access to all eight personality types to explore
You can get guidance from the community and founder
You receive all new materials and updates automatically
It's the most cost-effective way to fully experience Play Personalities
Once you join:
Read through all eight personality descriptions
Identify which one (or two) resonates most with you
Set your chosen wallpaper as a daily reminder
Start with the daily reflection templates for your primary type
Join the community discussions to connect with others
Start by reading through the descriptions of all eight types. Your dominant personality is usually the one where you think "Yes! This is exactly how I naturally approach things!" You'll recognize yourself in the patterns, strengths, and natural tendencies described.
Play Personalities is a new project, and we're currently working on developing a comprehensive test that will launch soon. In the meantime, discovery happens through reading the personality descriptions and recognizing yourself. Many people find this more authentic than answering predetermined questions, as it encourages self-reflection and awareness.
Yes! Understanding different Play Personalities can dramatically improve team dynamics, communication, and collaboration. Many people use this framework to better understand colleagues and build stronger working relationships.
You can absolutely use Play Personalities to better understand your children's natural way of engaging with the world. However, our current materials are designed for adults and aren't specifically tailored for children. We're planning to develop resources focused on children and youth in the future, so stay tuned!
