In some video games, particularly at the start, you will occasionally find yourself tested. But unlike most tests found in video games, this one doesn't test your knowledge of the trivial. No, this test gives you several hypothetical situations and you must choose an answer that would best describe your course of action in the situation. A personality test, in other words. These tests can be used for a variety of things, such as determining a character's class or job based on your play style, determining which of many possible items to give you; where you sit on a Karma Meter, and so on. The questions on such tests tend to cover a wide variety of topics, from how players would approach difficult problems, to how they react to certain scenarios, and even personal matters such as gender, blood type, and Zodiac sign. Most of the time, it's easy to see how your answers affect the result. Stating you would prefer to sneak into a heavily guarded fortress will give you a character more oriented towards stealth related builds, while saying you would rush in with weapons drawn would yield a character better suited to direct combat. Other games might ask questions that have little to do with the actual gameplay, asking you what kind of friend you are, or what you like to do in your spare time. Depending on the game, the overall influence of your answers can range from simple differences in physical appearance to the entire make-up of your character. Like any good personality test, there are no wrong answers. That is, unless there is a particular result you're aiming for. Some games might be generous enough to let you retake the test, or manually override it altogether. If not, you can always consult the Strategy Guide or Online FAQ. A test like this oftens crops up in the course of Diegetic Character Creation. Not related to Secret Test of Character, where the test situations are real, as opposed to merely hypothetical.

Arena, Daggerfall, and Morrowind all include one during character creation in which you answer a series of questions to determine your class. It's optional so you can choose a different class that the one that is recommended based on the quiz, or just skip it altogether and manually select/create a class. Daggerfall's is notable because it also determines your starting equipment. With the right answers, you can end up with a Disc-One Nuke. (Skipping it is ill-advised, as the game will randomly fill it out and you will likely end up with skills and equipment you have no intention of using.) Morrowind's is also notably justified - it is given to you at the Census & Excise Office at the start of the game, ostensibly because the test giver needs a character class for your release forms. (That said, more than a few questions are unintuitive and totally out-of-character...why does an immigration official need to know what you would do if someone stole your sweetroll?) | |

Shin Megami Tensei: A major aspect of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, where personality-defining questions will crop up in demon conversations and in major story events. How you answer these questions has an effect on what ending you get (as well as what endings are even available). The lone exception is the True Demon Ending, which overrides all other possibilities once you fulfill certain gameplay requirements, making all the previous conversations moot. Shin Megami Tensei if...... will ask you about your student life to determinate your initial stats. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey also uses a quiz to figure out your character's growth type. |

In The Jackbox Party Pack 6, this is essentially what the 'Role Models' game amounts to. In it, the players choose from various categories (such as objects, deadly sins, movie protagonists, ice cream flavours, etc.), and then designate roles within the chosen category to themselves and others (generally based on aspects of the players' personalities that they feel best suit them). Players score on how well their choices match up with those of the other players, and, in the end, each player is bestowed a title based on the traits associated with the roles that ended up being assigned to them throughout the game. | |

This trope is common to games in the Langrisser series, going back to Der Langrisser on Super Famicom. Affects the main character's starting class and stats (although your starting class is overridden by your first promotion, which always turns Elwin into a warrior type.)

Knights of the Old Republic featured one when determining your Jedi class. You can choose to ignore the results if you wish. There's a more standard test of personality in it, when a terminal will only permit one person to use it. The player character has to answer like Revan would to access the console. Strangely, even if you fail the test, you are still permitted access after doing battle with several robot guards (this is explained later). And answering like the villain would turns your Karma Meter towards evil. Have Jedi never heard of lying? The computer had already explained that it would know if you're lying. A little odd that you're not even given the option of trying though. |

This is how House Sorting in Pottermore works. While some of the questions are non-idicative of what house they lead to, it's still pretty easy to game, as a fair amount of questions have answers which correspond to the matching house's colors. For example, one question asks what you'd like to be remembered by in history. Your answers are brave, on a red card (Gryffindor), wise on a blue card (Ravenclaw), great on a green card (Slytherin), or good on a yellow card (Hufflepuff). | |

The answers to the questions make it very obvious which results they lead to; for example, your options posed by the question "Which of these words appeal to you most?" are Flame, Wind, Land, Waves, Sunlight, and Darkness. | |

In the beginning of Kingdom Hearts, you walk through a door in your dreams and must answer a few questions from your "friends". You are then told at what time of day your journey starts, as a metaphor for your rate of experience level-up (either fast at low levels, average at all levels, or fast at high levels). Choosing a starting weapon and discarding a second weapon also comes with a descriptor of what qualities you are embodying or discarding, and decides your starting stats and the order of abilities you learn by level-up. Kingdom Hearts II continues this tradition, though it's a bit more streamlined. You only get to pick one weapon. |

The Elder Scrolls: Arena, Daggerfall, and Morrowind all include one during character creation in which you answer a series of questions to determine your class. It's optional so you can choose a different class that the one that is recommended based on the quiz, or just skip it altogether and manually select/create a class. Daggerfall's is notable because it also determines your starting equipment. With the right answers, you can end up with a Disc-One Nuke. (Skipping it is ill-advised, as the game will randomly fill it out and you will likely end up with skills and equipment you have no intention of using.) Morrowind's is also notably justified - it is given to you at the Census & Excise Office at the start of the game, ostensibly because the test giver needs a character class for your release forms. (That said, more than a few questions are unintuitive and totally out-of-character...why does an immigration official need to know what you would do if someone stole your sweetroll?) Oblivion replaces it with a Secret Test of Character. A NPC will recommend a class for you based on the skills you use during the tutorial. However, as there are a number of skills that you don't have the ability to use during the tutorial, there are a number of classes it will never recommend. Subverted in Skyrim. One character is about to ask all the questions when another cuts him off, noting that it's pointless since your character is scheduled for execution. |

Monster Prom has a personality test from a teen magazine in the beginning of the game with three questions. The first two each raise one of your stats depending on your answer, and the third gives a starting relationship boost to one of the possible dating options. | |

The Hitherby Dragons story "What was Really Going On" describes the story of Abraham as if it were a player starting a character in an RPG, including decisions made on whether they want to be a ranger or a bard. This is, in fact, a direct parody of the Ultima IV quiz mentioned above. | |

A major aspect of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, where personality-defining questions will crop up in demon conversations and in major story events. How you answer these questions has an effect on what ending you get (as well as what endings are even available). The lone exception is the True Demon Ending, which overrides all other possibilities once you fulfill certain gameplay requirements, making all the previous conversations moot. | |

The first two Pokémon Mystery Dungeon open with a personality quiz. This determines which Pokémon your main character becomes. You're also prompted to give your gender, as that's also a factor. For instance, in Explorers, a Brave male becomes Pikachu while a Brave female ends up as Charmander. The quiz returns in Super Mystery Dungeon after being absent from Gates to Infinity, but you're also given the option to disregard the result and choose your Pokémon directly if you just want a specific one. Explorers of Sky also asks if they'd played Explorers of Time or Darkness: If the player says yes, the game is more likely to roll questions that would lead to the new starters. |

Ultima IV did this (and could actually be the Trope Maker). It selected your character class and starting location based on the results of a series of questions. Those questions center around determining which of the eight Virtues you consider most important by asking the player to choose between two of them in a set of questions until one Virtue remains. The game then starts in the city associated with that Virtue as the class associated with that Virtue). They reused the same test in V, VI and IX with a few minor changes to the wording of the questions. | |

In Ultima VII, ignoring all of the Copy Protection tests, joining the Fellowship is accompanied by a verbal test administered by Batlin. It handles like a situational examination, with Batlin performing a pragmatic spin on even rather good answers, and, ultimately, you are encouraged to join the Fellowship regardless of how you answer. | |

Prey (2017) concludes its tutorial with a philosophy questionnaire centered around variants of the trolley problem. The Twist Ending reveals that the entire game is also this, being an in-universe simulation to test a Typhon's empathy. The more caring you act towards NPCs and finish their sidequests, the easier it is to get the good ending. | |
