Classpect Tests
A classpect test,1) also called a mythological role test or a title test, is a method of answering a fun Homestuck thought exercise on Sburb, asking what mythological role and challenge you'd receive, and whether it brings you closer to a successful session's baseline requirements.2)
Keep in mind that these tests may not give the best results, compared to doing research on these components or, the method I would personally recommend, asking a close friend who has done the research if this option ever becomes available to you.
Summary and results
This chart holds a list of classpect tests, when they originally published, how many questions these roughly have at most, and all the results that I personally received. Some of the classpect tests may come off as convoluted and verbose, so I'll usually attempt to give these ones their own section, intending to reword and reorganize the test's instructions, visuals, and charts for other possible test-takers to digest.

Examining personal results
Personally, I wouldn't put much weight into these results as the accuracy of these tests tend to vary, so the following pie charts are merely fun visuals for myself and onlookers, though I have previously assessed myself as a “Mage of Void” in the past. In addition, there's also classes with gender alignments, but this could also be a case of unreliable narrator, so who cares.
Complicated tests
Page of Hopes's Test (2011)
The Homestuck Title Test, attributed to Tumblr user “thepageofhopes” on November 29, 2011, is the test which borrows the Enneagram of Personality and 16PF Questionnaire. As a warning, this test does include fan classes and fan aspects, which generally considered its weakest point if you're unlucky enough to get these factors. This aside, below is a rewording of the test's instructions and charts.
- To find your class:
- Take the classic Enneagram test (128 questions maximum), then use the chart.
- Read about your Enneagream type and pick a “Level of Development” you resonate with.
- To find your aspect:
- Take the 16PF questionnaire (80 questions), but don't use the chart just yet.
- Flip the percentages (i.e. “100%-OLD%=NEW%”) for Tension and Anxiety.
- If your level was 1-4, use the highest factor. If your level was 5-9, use the lowest factor.
Classes
Type | Class | Type | Class |
---|---|---|---|
1w9 | Spark/Fiend/ | 1w2 | Heir |
2w1 | Maid/Serf♂ | 2w3 | Star |
3w2 | Prince/Queen♀ | 3w4 | Thief |
4w3 | Page | 4w5 | Soul/ |
5w4 | Seer | 5w6 | Mage |
6w5 | Knight | 6w7 | Witch/Ace |
7w6 | Bard/Voice♀ | 7w8 | Rogue |
8w7 | Chief | 8w9 | Sage |
9w8 | Sylph/Duke♂ | 9w1 | Monk |
Note: If you are looking at this chart, also consider looking at the Enneagram × Homestuck Classpects chart.
Aspects
Factor | Aspect | Factor | Aspect |
---|---|---|---|
Warmth | Light | Intellect | Mind |
Emotional Stability | Blood | Aggressiveness | Blaze |
Liveliness | Life | Dutifulness | Form |
Social Assertiveness | Breath | Sensitivity | Heart |
Paranoia | Keys | Abstractness | Space |
Introversion | Void | Anxiety | Doom |
Open-mindedness | Hope | Independence | Time |
Perfectionism | Zen | Tension | Rage |
3.5 Part Title Test (2012)
The Homestuck Title Test, attributed to former Tumblr user “inaniloquacity” on November 13, 2012, is a test borrowing the Jungian personality types, Triarchic theory of intelligence, HEXACO model of personality structure, and six levels of emotional maturity, with significant contributions by Homestuck theorist “bladekindEyewear” (BKEW),6) but it's old and many links are broken.
- Take the following tests and save the results.
- Take the Jungian Cognitive Functions Test (60 questions).
- Take the
Triarchic Intelligence Theory Test. - Take the Hexaco Personality Traits Test (101* questions, excluding attentiveness checks).
- Pick out a level from Morler's Levels of Emotional Maturity.
- To find your class:
- Pick the cognitive function with the highest percentage out of the following four: Ne, Ni, Se, Si.
- Using the chart, combine this with your preferred triarchic intelligence.
- If there's a gendered class conflict, then use your second-preferred triarchic intelligence.
- (Writer's note: If you can't find your preferred triarchic intelligence, and you're taking several of these tests anyways, I'd just consider the entire row of classes and come back to it later.)
- To find your aspect:
fill in Chris's Aspect Test.- Calculate the average by adding up the six factors and dividing by six.
- Find the category with the number furthest away from this average to find the aspect pair.
- If the number is higher, use the left side. If the number is lower, use the right side.
- However, if your emotional maturity level was 1-3, then use the opposite aspect instead.

Enneagram × Homestuck Classpects (2015)
“Enneagram × Homestuck Classpects” (v1, v2), attributed to Tumblr user “invisibleoctopus” in 2015, were posts that borrowed the Enneagram of Personality to provide a general idea about your potential classpect. The first version proposes two classes with four aspects, which could be a problem if both classes have gender alignments, while the second version proposes four classes with two aspects.

Jungian Classpecting (2020)
The Jungian Classpect Test, attributed to former Tumblr blog “jungianclasspecting” on February 2, 2020, is a test that, as the name would suggest, borrows the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. While the test is fairly simple, the charts used to find your class and aspects are hideous and unintuitive, so I've reworded the test's instructions and especially reworked the charts to be less of an eyesore.
- Take 16Personalities's MBTI test (60 questions) or any MBTI test. You need the percentages.
- Take the Egoism/Altrusim test (30 questions).
- Take the Optimist or Pessimist test (25 questions). With this quiz, be warned that you can't change answers, and can't reset unless you clear the data, use a private window, or finish the test.
Classes
MBTI Result | Extrovert (E) | Introvert (I) | |
---|---|---|---|
Altruism | Sensing (S) | Bard | Maid |
Under 66% (S/N) | Knight | Page | |
Intuitive (N) | Seer | Sylph | |
Egoism | Sensing (S) | Prince | Heir |
Under 66% (S/N) | Thief | Rogue | |
Intuitive (N) | Mage | Witch |
Aspects

Perceiving (P) | Feeling (F) | Breath | Rage |

Thinking (T) | Space | Void |
Notes
- The original RLabs Quiz had listed “MSPA Forums / MSPA Wiki” and 4chan's “Homestuck General” as possible communities,7) but these were changed to “Twitter” and “Discord” respectively, and it lumps “Tumblr” with “DeviantArt” as the original test assumed you were a Tumblr user. In addition, the modern version also removes “le reddit” from the Reddit option and replaces “IRC” with Discord.
- A surprising amount of people actually trust the aspect that the Extended Zodiac gives them,8) but I'd write this off as skewed due to its status as an “official” test and recency bias.
