Abstract
We present a user study developed to explore the use of psychological frameworks for the personalisation of narratives. Further, we explore using interactive narratives to understand the user’s personality and narrative preferences. The study consists of three sections: an interactive narrative, a personality test, and a personalised short story. Whilst it would appear that at least this interactive narrative could not be used as a personality test per se, it was able to capture some traits. The personalisation appeared to work well, especially regarding relating with the protagonist. It was also found that extraverted people appear to prefer reading narratives with less formal language, and introverts prefer narratives with more formal language .
