this is what happens when you give a nerd ADHD

Hey all!! I’ve recently developed an interest in classpecting, mostly out of frustration of not knowing my own alignments, and not being satisfied with the Extended Zodiac quiz. I wanted to create a more straightforward method that was as simple yet comprehensive as possible, so using all the canon information from the descriptions on the Extended Zodiac, I’ve devised this handy little guide!

Almost every word is pulled directly from the eZodiac descriptions. Instructions below!

You're more than welcome to save this and fill it out in your notes or photo editor! (I'll make a prettier infographic version of this eventually I promise but for now we're working from my notes app)

Step 1: Select which traits you feel fit best.

Step 2: Tally up how many traits you have for each lunar sway.

Step 3: The lunar sway you have the most points for is your lunar sway!

...That's it!

Tips and tricks:

There's no rule saying you can't select neither or both traits! If you feel as if it depends on the situation, select both. If you feel as if neither fit, choose neither! This is one of the problems the eZodiac has that this method seeks to fix. The lunar sways may be binary, but people aren't!

If you can't figure out which fits you better, try polling a few friends. You don't even necessarily have to choose what they tell you—sometimes asking other people can help you figure out what you think the answer is, based on your reaction to what they say. This is a trick I like to use for decision paralysis!

All of these terms are simplified bits from the canon descriptions, but that unfortunately means a little bit of context is missing. If you need clarification on what any of the options mean or are in regard to, let me know and I'll be happy to help! If you're not the type to reach out, though, you can also give the canon descriptions a look on the eZodiac site!

This method does not, unfortunately, get rid of the possibility of a tie, or final tallies that come very close together. For a tiebreaker, though, you can look at your sign class and which lunar sway that sign class is "supposed" to have. For instance, if you tied but your sign class is rust, you may say that Derse is your lunar sway.

If you have any suggestions or critiques on how to make this better, I'm more than happy to listen! I often find myself frustrated with most "personality" tests due to them not fitting me, and want to make something that can apply to everyone while still being as canon as possible!

Finally, here's mine as an example!

I used to score Derse pretty consistently, but as the years go on and I grow and change as a person I find myself becoming Prospit more and more. On the previous version of this post, I scored 10 points for both and had to use the tiebreaker method (my sign class is blue, so I was just barely Prospit). Now, I'm 12–10! Just as your personality can change, so can your alignments!
