Your Fantasy Class
Warrior, mage, rogue... who are you in the adventuring party?
Free, no account needed.
A notice by a tavern hearth, a caravan, a forest full of whispers and a dragon asleep on its gold: your adventure unfolds over twenty-eight short scenes. At each turn, choose what you would actually do, not what the boldest hero would do. A few plain statements are scattered along the way; rate how true they are of you.
Beneath the story, every choice draws on eight traits, from might and cunning to devotion and craft. At the end you meet your class, your runner-up, and what your choices say about you outside the story.

About this test
Fantasy role-playing games grew out of tabletop wargaming in the 1970s and gave the world a now-familiar cast of character classes: the warrior, the mage, the rogue, the cleric and their many cousins. They are archetypes in the old sense, recurring patterns of character that also appear in myths and folk tales, and many players find themselves drawn again and again to the same kind of hero.
This test treats your adventuring choices as a quiet personality profile. Each option feeds one or two of eight traits that loosely mirror real research: Might (assertiveness and courage), Arcana (intellectual curiosity), Cunning (pragmatism and independence from convention), Devotion (compassion and idealism), Wild (groundedness and love of nature), Charisma (sociability and expressiveness), Discipline (self-control and perseverance) and Craft (hands-on practical interests, like the Realistic type in Holland's career model). Your trait profile is compared, relative to your own average, with the typical profile of each of twelve classes, and the closest one wins. Studies of why people play games point to similar motives: achievement, social connection, immersion and discovery.
This is a test for fun and reflection, not a validated instrument. The traits echo real ones, but the mapping is playful, the questions are few, and what you choose in a story may differ from what you do in life. Scores are relative to the range of possible answers, not to population norms.
