I do not know how much but only in the last year Ed used games to find that a
Rebel personality of Thorsten performed better.

There are 2 possibilities:
1)Ed did not trust the testing methodology that he has and also used games.
2)The testing methodolgy that Ed is using did not tell him that Thorsten
personality is better when games told him that(it is possible if the way of
testing give wrong results in minority of the cases or is not relevant for every
change).
