How To Tell If You're An Epic Hero

Are you on the hero's journey? This simple quiz will help you figure it out. You've got two options here: Either you're like John Carter, a brave hero on a journey that will change your life -- and possibly the world! -- or you're a kind of pathetic, sad loser. Answer honestly! Truthfulness if always a quality of an epic hero.

Question #1

Have you been called to adventure? For instance: Were you mysteriously transported to an exotic, foreign land? Perhaps you are in space? On a deserted island? Maybe an oracle foretold of your journey?

• Yes!
• No.

Question #1

Have you been called to adventure? For instance: Were you mysteriously transported to an exotic, foreign land? Perhaps you are in space? On a deserted island? Maybe an oracle foretold of your journey?

• Yes!
• No.

Question #2

Do you have innate powers that make you special? Are you unbelievably adept, say, at sword fighting? How about super strength? Maybe you're enrolled in a school for kids with "special" powers?

• Yes!
• No. No, sorry.

Question #3

While in this foreign land, are you learning new skills and gaining new abilities? Perhaps you are getting help from a talking monkey and learning the art of kung fu?

• Yes
• Me? Nope, sadly.

Question #4

Do you have a nemesis, and are the odds against you seemingly insurmountable? Maybe you are being followed by hooded figures? Are there obstacles trying to stop you from victory?

• Yes!
• I mean, should I? Let me check ... No, no evil arch enemies in sight.

Question #5

Are you able to secure a decisive victory despite those insurmountable odds? Can you defeat the evil do-ers despite being just one person? Are you going to use your amazing talents and skills to fight the bad guys and win?

• Yes!
• I wish! Haha! But no.

Question #6

Is there a prince/princess you will save/win the heart of as a result of that victory? Are they really attractive? Bonus: Are they held captive in a castle?

• Yes!
• [Sigh] That'd be great. But no.

Question #7

Will you return to your native land a hero at the end of your trials? When you return, will they have a parade for you and name a holiday after you in celebration of your victories? Maybe have an ice cream flavor named after you?

• Yes!
• No, I won't. I never left to begin with. I've really never done anything much with my life, come to think of it.

Your Quiz Result:

You are definitely an epic hero!

You've got what it takes: Fate has conspired against you, and you're on a journey that will change you to the core. Congrats, and good luck with everything -- you'll need it!

Your Quiz Result:

You're no epic hero.

Honestly, your answers made me pretty depressed. You're not only no hero, you're a pretty sad excuse for a human being. Have you ever done anything brave or meaningful in your life? We all have something great within us -- maybe you'd like to try again?
