Five questions. One result. Zero real-world utility.

Take the quiz now!

1. Your friend's been turned into a donkey, and you’ve been caught up in an awful shipwreck. Things aren’t going your way so - naturally - you hatch a plan to leave town on an adventure. Where do you go?*

You head to England in the hope of raising an army to confront your problems head on.
You run off into a forest, where poetry hangs from the trees and things are not all as they seem.
You decide not to go too far at all. You have a murderous, Machiavellian scheme to gain the upper hand - just like you always do…
You flee to Bohemia (and not just because it has the second coolest place name on Earth!)

2. Your plan goes awry and you end up stranded on a desert island miles from anywhere, in possession of a single object. The sort of object you wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without. What is it?*

A single, beautifully made handkerchief.
A small, rare flower, capable of producing the most potent love potion known to man.
A solid gold crown.
A set of caskets: one gold, one silver, and one lead.

3. By some ludicrous scheme, you’ve managed to escape the desert island and plan a big night out after a REALLY long week. Do you… *

Round up your friends and gatecrash a ball hosted by your greatest enemy. (You just love the drama, eh?)
Take your most obnoxious friend to the mansion of a wealthy relative and party 'til you both get kicked out.
Call the rowdiest knight you know and head to the nearest pub.
Disguise yourself as a Latin tutor to infiltrate the dysfunctional family of a local lord in an attempt to woo his youngest daughter. Despite your so-stupid-it-might-just-work plan, you run into a problem that could scupper the whole thing - no one wants to marry her older sister...

4. The weekend's over. Monday rolls around again and surprise, surprise: a terrible tragedy befalls a close friend or relative. Do you…*

Feign madness in a bizarre and complicated scheme to catch the culprit.
Fake your own death because you’re a character in a Shakespeare play and have no sense of perspective.
Stand in front of an angry crowd and deliver a blistering speech condemning-but-not-really-condemning that tragic friend.
Spend the next 16 years pretending to have been turned to stone, in an astonishingly committed (and ill thought-through) attempt to shame your husband.
(Seriously, who writes this stuff?!)

5. Despite your partying, poor judgement, terrible orientation skills, and the exceptionally unfortunate company you seem to keep, you rise to the very top of society. What sort of leader are you?*

An erratic, gullible king with a remarkably short temper.
A magical, powerful, almost omnipotent figure who can summon ancient spirits and create catastrophic storms on a whim.
Giving up your heavy partying lifestyle, you become an exceptional leader. Passionate, charismatic, you have a natural understanding of the hopes and dreams of your people.
A strict authoritarian – discipline and order are everything to you. Your people despise you.
