Get Classpected: A Classpecting Questionnaire

To assign a classpect, one must first introspect.

Please check my pinned post to see if I am taking classpect assignment inquiries. If I am, feel free to send me an ask containing your answers. If I have closed them, I will be deleting any asks I receive after I have closed them. Save your answers instead and keep an eye out for when they open again. My DMs are NOT currently open for this. These can take me a good amount of time to analyze, so please be patient.

These are the questions I use when assigning classpects. They are vague and left open to interpretation to allow for a wide variety of authentic answers. Interpret them as you please, and answer them however you want.

What is most important to you?

Why is this important to you?

Why do you do what you do?

What frustrates or upsets you most?

What is in your way? What are your flaws? How do you overcome this?

Are you okay with that?

Some things to note:

Keep your answers as true to yourself as you can. Honesty is not required, you may censor yourself, answer as you feel you must answer. It will all be considered in the end.

Do not send or modify answers on behalf of another. I won't be able to get an accurate reading. This includes for characters; please keep reading for more on that.

My inbox is not a place for trauma dumping; I would ask that you please refrain from doing so. Trauma dumping includes explicit and/or graphic detail in regards to a traumatic event. These questions are meant to be non-invasive and replace that particular, typical requirement when it comes to classpecting. Vaguely alluding to the existence of trauma is not trauma dumping, and is fine to do within your answers.

If you would like me to answer you privately, please indicate that in your ask. Please also be aware that anonymous asks cannot be answered privately, and must be posted; you must be off anon if you want me to answer you privately.

If you would like to get a character assigned (such as an OC) by answering these questions "as the character", please also indicate that in your ask, as well as provide your own classpect (or just your aspect, if you do not know it) before the answers. This is so I know which factors to take into account and which to disregard.

I can assign canon characters I am familiar with, but I will not be taking fan answers for canon character assignments.

Ultimately, you decide if what I says fits you. These assignments are only my thoughts based on your answers; I can provide insight, but it is up to you in the end how you choose to define yourself.

If you are curious how I go about determining a classpect from these questions, please see [this post]. If you are curious about the previous assignments I've done, they are all tagged under [#classpect assignment log]. This post is tagged as such for mobile convenience.

I will be putting together a guide soon for how to determine your own classpect from these answers when my asks are not open for this.

[aortaobservatory]

Hello! I've been following your blog for a while and I saw your classpecting questionnaire. I also saw someone else submit their own answers to get a classpect, if that's okay.

1. What is most important to you? - I want to live the life that I want/makes me happy, and I want to create something really good, good enough that people talk about it and it gets remembered after I die.

2. Why is this important to you? - I think the first part is obvious, but also I don't feel like I have a lot of control in my life already and as far as I know I only have one, I don't want to waste it. As for the second part, it's half related to what I just said and half because I feel like art, especially writing, is my calling in life.

3. Why do you do what you do? - I honestly don't feel like I really do much on a day-to-day basis. I'd like to do more, but I don't feel like I have a lot of opportunities, or friends to do stuff with (see below question about flaws)

4. What frustrates or upsets you most? - In general I get frustrated or upset pretty easily, mostly because in general I feel my emotions very strongly (especially negative ones). What frustrates/upsets me the most is people telling me what to feel/think/believe, or telling me that what I'm thinking/feeling/believing is wrong. Doubly so if I'm disagreeing with them on something and they just can't comprehend the idea that they might be wrong about anything.

5. What is in your way? What are your flaws? How do you overcome this? - I'm good at coming up with ideas and starting projects, but I'm bad at finishing them. I'm also shy and (usually) avoid confrontation, and neither like nor know how to initiate conversations. If I knew how to overcome this, I would've done it already.

6. Are you okay with that? - I'm not sure what "that" is referring to. Answers 1, 2 and 4, sure. Answers 3 and 5, no.

(freedom -> Breath), (to mean something -> Light? legacy, to be remembered, to leave an impact -> Doom, Rage, Knight-Page)

(little control -> Prince-Maid), (Hope-Rage), (Space)

lack of Blood, (acquire friends as a form of freedom?), (stuck, desire to do more -> Doom-Life, Space-Time), (lack of control, little opportunities -> Prince-Maid)

Hope-Rage, (inverse -> Hope), (Sylph-Maid, Knight-Page)

(Space, inverse -> Time, good with ideas, bad with commitment? -> Rage, inverse -> Hope), (Sylph-Maid), (Breath, inverse -> Blood)

(unclear -> Maid?), emphasis on freedom, holding strong to the self's own truth

A desire to live the life you want, a life that makes you happy, means you are not currently living that life, and that is visible to you to the point of upset frustration. You hate being told what to believe by others and you're unsure how to move forward, but you lack opportunities and you lack control. Your answers spoke to me as a very frustrated, confused Maid/Page seeking answers.

I have been attempting to pin down a classpect for you from these answers, but there is no one thing that uniquely stands out to me other than you most likely being a passive class within the Sylph-Maid (Enhancers) and Knight-Page (Utilizers) classes.

There are really quite a lot of interesting elements in your answers here. They could combine in any number of ways. I believe you may be Rage-bound, but you could just as likely be Breath-bound or Space-bound, as you have elements of inverses for each, and none overpower any of the others.

I'm still not entirely sure of your aspect; I could make an equal case for each of the three I pointed out. I almost feel as though I was not told something, so, I will leave the decision of your aspect entirely up to you. Your class took me a long time to narrow down, but I am convinced that if you are not a Maid, you may very likely be a Page instead.

For your consideration:

Maid of Breath

Maid of Rage

Maid of Space

Maids start off pushed around by others' view of their aspect, but eventually allow their aspect to heal, restore, and enhance themselves, making them into an entirely new person and purifying their aspect to themselves. They start out relying on others for their aspect or being told by others how to interact with their aspect. Their challenge is to listen to themselves instead of others, and to not let others opinions dilute their aspect as they restore it for themselves and allow it to make them into a new person.

Page of Breath

Page of Rage

Page of Space

Pages start unskilled in their aspect, learning how it works and how to use it to its full potential over time. In their many attempts to master their aspect, they teach others the value of their aspect, becoming an unintentional source of inspiration. Their challenge is to keep at it, learn from failure, and eventually master their aspect, being able to confidently provide their aspect to others.

I do apologize for the wait; I've been horribly sick and am only just now recovering enough to post this for you. Speaking of, if you'd like to follow up with me on this, you're more than welcome to! I'm certain with a bit more information I can point you in a more concrete direction than this, and I can't deny I'm intrigued by all the possibility you have. However, in the end, only you decide what fits.

[aortaobservatory]

Hello! I saw your classpecting box was open so if you're able and willing I'd love to be classpected! I already believe I know my own classpect but I think it would be fun to see others perspective on it.

What is most important to you? Happiness, specifically my own. My loved ones are also important to me.

Why is this important to you? I find being happy is my ideal state-- if I am not happy, I need to get there. Happiness is, to me, the ultimate goal of life. I don't know why my friends are important to me, they just are. They make me happy, and I want to make them the same.

Why do you do what you do? Because I like doing it or it makes me less bored, or, failing that, I feel I have to.

What frustrates or upsets you most? Primarily, being bored, or, to a lesser extent and in the case of being around others, being ignored. Boredom is like a black hole and I do not like it. Being ignored is annoying.

What is in your way? What are your flaws? How do you overcome this? What is in my way is my own lack of knowledge as to what I want. It's blocking there from being a way entirely, as how can I proceed if I don't even know the way? My flaws are that I am very apathetic and detached, and if I don't like something enough, I will often avoid it, whether it's a thought making me nervous, a person, a thing I have to make or do, or something else. I currently don't necessarily want to overcome this. It works for me. It may have ramifications later, but currently I avoid all I need to, and deal with the things I can't.

Are you okay with that? For now, I think I am.

Thank you! Have a nice day :]

(left vague, could be any, possibilities -> Void), Blood

(goal, achieve happiness -> Time), Blood

(because you feel you must, restlessness -> Time)

(inverse -> Space), Time, (lesser inverse -> Breath)

(lack of knowledge, detachment -> Light-Void), (don't know the goal and thus can't figure out the journey -> Space-Time) (avoidance -> Bard?), Passive

Passive (contextual)

[Questions]

There's a lot of secrecy around your answers and I found myself asking for more answers than what was provided. Happiness is left open to the individual, and simply mentioning your happiness without elaborating what it is means there are many possibilities as to what it could be. Quite appropriate if you happen to be a Void player.

It's also possible for you to be Blood, as your friends are a source of happiness for you, and being happy is what you consider important, but I hesitate to call it your main aspect as you value your happiness over all, rather than your friends outright. Detachment and avoidance could be a tell of Breath inverse, but you don't seem much concerned with the concepts of freedom and/or escape. You're more concerned with moving forward.

I believe it's much more possible for you to be Time, as you specifically mention a feeling of boredom paired with a need to achieve a state of happiness. You also mention you're not entirely sure what your main goal is; you don't know what you want, and this blocks there from being a way forward entirely. This could be reminiscent of Void, but Space is associated with journeys and this could be your inverse showing itself. Achieving a state of happiness could simply be an easy goal you provide to yourself because you know how to get there.

Not knowing your main goal, and thus, the way forward, frustrates you, which is likely a tell of your class. Princes are most likely to be frustrated by their aspect, but they rely on their inverse. Mages tend to be frustrated, but do not reject their aspect. Sylphs are also often frustrated because they can't figure out how to make their aspect work how they intend. Bards, meanwhile, often reject their aspect and tend to have avoidant natures. As well, you don't seem to want to change your avoidance; you are happy as is because it works fine as is.

I would be inclined to say Bard of Time (inverse Sylph of Space, so if you relate the most to Kanaya, you might consider this). I also briefly considered Witch of Void (inverse Seer of Light); however, you don't show much Light inverse within these answers other than a wish for knowledge so you can move forward towards your goal (a desire rooted in Space-Time, and a potential tell of a Sylph of Space's aimless frustration). You hate being bored, and often, Time can be boring; boredom causes restlessness, and Time is restless and repetitive. You hate being ignored, and given that you achieve your happiness via your friends, I wonder if this hatred of being ignored is also a tell of frustration when you cannot achieve your goal of being happy.

You say you know your classpect already. My perspective is that of a stranger; ultimately, you decide what fits you best.

[aortaobservatory]

I was already lurking your profile and then ZAZ!! You posted about how you classpect, so obviously, I had to try it on my own.

not sure if I did it right tho, would you mind looking at my answers? No problem if you don't want to btw!!

Here:

1.What is most important to you?

"nothing" is always my first answer to this kind of question, nothing matters enough for me on a daily basis, then I say my friends, and lastly justice.

2.Why is this important to you?

well, my friends are basically everything to me, even though I don't think about them as much as they probably think about me. And justice is simply something I can't stand to lack, be it for others or for me. Otherwise I lack enthusiasm or interest, and sometimes I disappear for long periods of time for no reason at all.

3.Why do you do what you do?

You mean hobbies? To pass the time, to detach.

4.What frustrates or upsets you most? What is in your way?

Ppl forcing me to do things I don't want to, or forcing me do things for them that THEY should have done for themselves. But what really angers me the most is when they tell me to do the things I HAVE to do quicker than how I do it. I have a process, they should respect that.

5. What are your flaws?

I wait a lot to do stuff, I think. I do stuff at last minute, even if I had a lot of time for them. Unless I like the activity it will get pushed and pushed until I can no more get away with it.

7.How do you overcome this?

I don't, it's a process, no need to fix it, it works.

8. Are you okay with that?

Yeah, as I said, the only thing that frustrates me is when people attack me to do it faster. I prefer doing stuff at my own pace. And sometimes that translates to doing things slower of faster. I don't hold grudges for people who get frustrated by me, bc I do the same sometimes when people is slower to get things than me.

Void (Breath?), Blood, Hope

Blood-Breath (justice for the sake of others -> Blood, detachment and disappearing -> Breath)

Breath

(inverse -> Blood), Mind, (grouping of questions "What frustrates/upsets" + "What is in your way" + (answer) -> Breath), (inverse -> Mage)

Space(?), (inverse -> Blood)

(7.) Breath, Mind, Heir-Mage

(8.) Breath, Passive, Knower of Blood

[Questions can be found here].

From these answers, it sounds like you're an Heir of Breath (inverse, Mage of Blood).

I was having a hard time figuring out your class, but if you are aligned with Breath, you are, by definition, unable to be defined. To be the pure embodiment of that, ie, The Heir, would make sense as to why I could not place your true class. At best, you'll be indifferent to this assignment. At worst, you'll despise it. You may also consider the Mage of Blood, or take a different angle altogether. Ultimately, you decide.

Heir of Breath

An Heir of Breath embodies the concept of independence and freedom, unable to be defined or truly tied down to any particular thing. They intimately understand both the good and bad of responsibilities and relationships; what they choose and what is forced, their friends and family and what they must do. This means they are good at detaching themselves from bad relationships, but they are also resistant to anything that might change how they define themselves; they will only change themselves if it is absolutely necessary.

[aortaobservatory]

Hi :] Very happy you started this classpect questionnaire thing, I was trying to figure it out for quite a while. Here are my answers: 1. What is most important to you? Indulging in my creative hobbies, such as crocheting, sewing, drawing. Stuff that requires me to sit for hours repeating essentially the same thing. Having lots of alone time. I love solitude and I need to have my own personal isolated space in which I feel most comfortable. 2. Why is this important to you? Because it gives me comfort and stability. I feel like I'm in my element, and I want to stay there for the rest of time. I "replenish my battery" when I'm completely alone, and social interaction drains it very very fast. 3. Why do you do what you do? I know that I'm good at what I do, I've been into art since I was born, and it's an important, if not the main driving force of my life. I couldn't live without being able to draw something at least once a day. And the art I do is for myself, for me to put in my room, for me to enjoy doing it. 4. What frustrates or upsets you most?

This question was he hardest to me, I can't really think of any specific thing that frustrates or upsets me the most. I seem to accept a lot of things, I'm not very upset about anything unless it directly meddles with what's important to me, like for example keeps me away from indulging in my hobbies. I usually brush off hateful comments or any kind of remarks about what I like, I don't dwell on them continue doing my thing. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion about it, but in the end what matters to me is that I like it. So as long as someone/something doesn't directly, physically disturb it, I'm fine. But even if something upsets me, I still forgive pretty fast. 5. What is in your way? What are your flaws? How do you overcome this? I have trouble expressing my thoughts. A lot of times, the point I want to make is more like a feeling, an emotion, or a visualization. It frustrates me that I can't put it all into words. When I do try to explain, I do it in a roundabout way and in the end nothing really makes sense. I struggle to trust people and don't expect too much of them, as well as feeling empathy towards someone in a bad situation. Most of the time. I'm like "oh well, it is what it is", even though I do try to empathize. I'm very passive and indifferent to many things around me, that are outside of my range of interest, and I forget about stuff that I need to do "in real life". 6. Are you okay with that? Mostly. I have a mentality of "everyone has their own flaws, nobody's perfect, all we can do is accept them". I don't really try to overcome my flaws. I can identify them in me, but that's all. I know that I could overcome them if I pushed myself to change, but I do nothing about it.

(journey of creation, crochet repetition -> Space-Time), Breath

(desire to stay in the journey, no ending goal? -> Space-Time), Breath (weak inverse -> Blood)

(Embodiment, deep knowledge -> Heir-Mage), (Self-assured -> Witch), (If knowledge is self-assured, then -> Witch-Seer), (surrounded by aspect -> Witch-Seer OR Heir)

(passive? -> Heir), (confident? -> Witch)

(inverse -> Time), Breath

(unchanging? -> Heir), (content in the self? -> Witch)

[Questionnaire]

Right away, you struck me as one bound to Space-Time. While I tend to focus on Space's other traits within my blog (as they are oft neglected), many say that Space is the aspect of art, and they are not incorrect. Art is, itself, a journey of creation. I believe that to draw so often as you do is to do so for the process of making (Space), rather than what comes of it (Time). You do so for the journey, rather than the ending goal.

You have some wisps of Breath, and you have a weak inverse in Blood - particularly, you favor your isolation (Breath), and are indifferent towards others (Blood). As well, you tend to be detached, and social interaction with others tires you very quickly. You may consider Sylph of Breath, but it is a weak match in my opinion, as Sylphs, even of Breath, are not entirely indifferent to other people. (They merely fear what might destroy their independence.) I'm not sure another Class of Breath has the potential to match what little of Breath-Blood I can see in you.

Mmm. In all honesty, I'm having some trouble. At first, your answers gave me Heir of Space, but I doubt you fit it exactly. You deeply know some things about Time as the inverse Mage would, but a Mage knows both good and bad. A Mage, even an inverse one, is typically even a little bit frustrated with their associated aspect, but you don't mention any negatives regarding this.

However... when I went back through your answers again, I noticed a few more things. You know some things about Time. I now wonder if such knowledge came from voluntary study rather than an involuntary intimate understanding of it via experience. If so, you may be a Witch of Space. Not Jade's kind of Witch of Space, however. The second kind of Witch of Space. Rather than embodying innovation and variation, as Jade did, the second Witch of Space embodies journeys and patience.

How I define Witches is the opposite of an Heir. While Heirs fully embody and perhaps embody too much of their aspect, a Witch does not fully embody and perhaps embodies too little of their aspect because they pick and choose. Typically, classpects can be defined under one basic, vague archetype (classpect definitions, IE, Seer of Heart -> One who Studies Identity). But due to the nature of the Witch, instead of one archetypal kind of Witch, there are at minimum, two. It may be further understood in a more basic sense that while an Heir fully embodies their aspect, a Witch half embodies their aspect (which does mean there can be at least two types of the Witch class within just one aspect, if not more. The Witch class is extremely variant.) Witch of Space (A) -> One who Embodies Variation and Changes Journeys, VS, Witch of Space (B) -> One who Embodies Journeys and Changes Variation.

If you are a Witch, only you can define yourself. Witches (and Seers, for that matter) often have to self-define, because nobody knows them better than themselves. All I can do is provide basic guidelines. Ultimately, you decide what fits.
