The Fivefold Calling
Five Callings contend within every soul. Few answer only one. Forty statements will reveal which of them actually organise you.
Touch the five marks, or open the gate
A research-inspired fantasy assessment. Roughly 8 to 12 minutes.
How the Trial works
Forty statements, five to a page. For each one you say how true it is of you, from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
Eight statements stand behind each of the five Callings. Some are written the other way round on purpose, so that simply agreeing with everything does not produce a flattering result.
No score is shown while you answer, so nothing nudges you toward a result. You may go back and change any answer before the end. Your progress is kept on this device, so a refresh will not lose it.
About the science
A research-inspired fantasy personality assessment. It is not a validated clinical or diagnostic instrument, and it is not a measure of who you objectively are.
The five Callings are a fantasy translation of themes from trait psychology. Each is measured by eight statements on a five point scale, some of them deliberately written the other way round. Your score for a Calling is where your answers to those eight fall between the lowest and highest possible totals, placed on a scale of nought to a hundred.
All five are continuous. Nobody is one Calling and not another. The Callings that reach the line together pick out one of the thirty-one possible combinations, and that combination is the archetype. The archetypes are our own interpretation laid over the measurement; they are not scientifically validated personality types, and no claim is made that they are.
Affinity is a score on this test's own scale. A Vigilance of 80 does not mean you are eighty percent vigilant as an objective fact. It means your answers sat high on the range this test can measure. A high score is not a better score, and a high Virtue reading says principles matter to you, not that you are a better person than someone with a lower one.

What should the record call you?
Your name is written into the record itself. It is kept on this device with your answers and is never sent anywhere.
How true is each of these of you?
Answer as you actually are rather than as you would like to be. There are no right answers, and no statement counts for more than any other.
