Detailed answers about how the quiz works, what results mean, and
how to use them to improve your game.
How accurate is this quiz?+
This quiz is designed for insight and entertainment rather than
clinical diagnosis. It combines:
Simple trait mapping from answers to archetype traits
(playstyle, mentality, role).
Heuristics based on common player behaviours and coaching
literature.
Expect useful directional feedback (strengths, growth areas).
Use it alongside coach feedback and objective performance data
for best results.
What methodology is used to map answers to players?+
For each question, answers are mapped to archetype indicators
(e.g. "vision", "finishing", "pace"). The quiz:
Assigns a simple point increment to the archetype most aligned
with the chosen answer.
Totals points across 32 questions and selects the top-scoring
archetype (randomizing ties).
Provides qualitative guidance (strengths, drills, roles) from
an expert-informed content set.
This approach prioritizes clarity and fast feedback rather than
deep psychometrics.
Can my result change over time and why?+
Yes — results reflect preferences and tendencies, not fixed
labels. Common reasons for change:
Training focus (e.g., working on finishing vs. playmaking).
Role changes in your team (position, tactical system).
Physical development or injury recovery altering style.
Consider retaking the quiz periodically to track how your
archetype evolves.
How should I use the result to improve as a player?+
Treat the result as a starting point. Recommended next steps:
Review the suggested drills and incorporate them into weekly
sessions.
Work on one targeted growth focus at a time (4–6 weeks).
Share the result with your coach to align skill work with team
tactics.
Combine drills with match analysis and conditioning to convert
insights into performance gains.
Is any personal data collected or stored?+
NO! We dont store personal data at all. The quiz runs entirely
in your browser using JavaScript. No answers or results are sent
to any server or third party. Your privacy is fully respected.
Why do some answers show the same player across multiple
questions?+
Top players are archetype exemplars across multiple traits
(e.g., vision, finishing). The quiz maps behaviour patterns, so
it's expected that a given player may align with several
different questions — that reinforces consistent archetype
scoring.
How are images and player names handled and attributed?+
Player names and archetype examples are used for illustrative
purposes to help you relate to common playing styles. Images
included are either licensed assets or generated placeholders.
If you have concerns about a specific image, contact the site
owner for resolution.
I disagree with my result — what can I do?+
Disagreement is normal. Options:
Retake the quiz and answer with how you behave in matches (not
how you wish to play).
Compare the "Player Spotlight" guide to see neighboring
archetypes you might blend with.
Share your result with a coach or teammate for external
perspective and an action plan.
