A method of playing a psychology game with one or more players wherein the one or more players are provided with a hypothetical person having at least one undisclosed character trait, a description of a circumstance with which the hypothetical person is confronted, a plurality of descriptions of possible reactions of the hypothetical person to the circumstance, and a means for determining the quality of the player's reaction selection, the means includes providing to the player a performance rating for the player's reaction selection wherein the performance rating is based upon the at least one undisclosed character trait. The method comprises the steps of: (1) selecting as most appropriate one of the plurality of descriptions of possible reactions, (2) determining the quality of the player's reaction selection in the reaction selection step, and (3) rewarding the one or more players with a game benefit in proportion to the quality of the player's reaction selection determined in the quality determining step, whereby the determination of the at one undisclosed character trait of the hypothetical person increases a player's ability to determine the most appropriate selection in the reaction selection step.
