Six results, one to a person

The six Chivalry Test archetypes.

Every Chivalry Test result is one of these six. The archetype is based on your overall score; the dimension scores tell the rest of the story. Jump to any of them below.

Score 90–100

Knight Paragon

A modern paragon of the knightly code.

You embody chivalry not as performance but as second nature. You keep your word when it costs you. You stand up when others stay silent. You make the small daily acts of grace look effortless.

People sense your steadiness — they want you in their lives, at their tables, in their corners. That kind of presence is rarer than it sounds, and you carry it without much fuss.

What this means

Your dimension scores cluster very high across the board, with one or two leading the pack — likely Honor and Integrity. Anything you scored below 85 is a deliberate choice rather than a weakness; the rest is character, not technique.

The blind spot

You probably underestimate the gravity of your presence on the people around you. Worth sitting with that, occasionally.

Score 75–89

Knight Errant

Strong values, travelling the road of refinement.

You move through the world with intention and care. You stumble sometimes — everyone does — but your compass points true. You’re somewhere on the journey from trying to being, and the road suits you.

People trust you. Friends bring you their hardest questions. You don’t always have the right answer, but you take the question seriously, which is the actual rare thing.

What this means

You score strongly across most dimensions, with one or two still under construction. You’re the kind of person other people quietly aspire to.

The blind spot

You’re more chivalrous than you realise. Take a little pride in it, even if it feels self-indulgent.

Score 60–74

Squire Rising

Honourable apprentice, real potential ahead.

You’re not the polished hero of the realm — yet. But you have the foundations: a sense of right, a willingness to grow, the humility to learn. The space between where you are and where you could be is the most interesting part of any story.

That’s the part you’re living right now. It’s also the part most people are too proud or too tired to admit they’re in.

What this means

Your scores show solid fundamentals with clear growth areas. You’re early in the practice. That’s not a flaw; that’s a starting point with momentum.

The blind spot

You'd be surprised how small upgrades push you into Knight Errant territory. Pick one dimension and lean in for a month.

Score 45–59

Court Citizen

A decent member of the realm.

You’re solid. You do most of the right things most of the time. You’re not auditioning for sainthood and you’re not the villain of any story. The realm needs people like you — its quiet backbone, neither legend nor cautionary tale.

There is nothing wrong with being a good neighbour. There is also nothing wrong with deciding that one of these dimensions is worth a few weeks of conscious attention.

What this means

Your scores are balanced and middling. You haven’t optimised for chivalry, but you haven’t abandoned it either. You’re operating in safe defaults.

The blind spot

You're more capable of standout chivalry than your scores suggest. You just haven't decided it's worth the effort. Worth thinking about which acts would feel honest to you.

Score 25–44

Wandering Freelance

Your own code, selectively applied.

You’re not interested in inherited rules. You decide which gestures are real and which are theatre. You honour what you choose to honour, deeply — but you reserve the right to opt out of the rest.

There is integrity in that. There is also a risk of opting out of too much. The freelance soul can be the realm’s most interesting person — or the one who never quite shows up when it counts.

What this means

Your scores are uneven — strong in the dimensions you’ve chosen to value, weaker in the ones you’ve discarded. This is a deliberate stance, not an accident.

The blind spot

Even individualists can pick one or two acts of chivalry that feel honest. Worth identifying which ones would actually mean something to you.

Score 0–24

Court Jester

Chivalry left the chat. With style.

You’re not playing the chivalry game. Maybe you think it’s outdated. Maybe you think it’s pretentious. Maybe you just have other priorities. That’s a real position.

At your best, you’re irreverent, useful, and unbothered. At your worst, you’re skipping past the small daily acts that make life softer for everyone — including yourself. The Court Jester role was, historically, the only one allowed to tell the truth. Use it well.

What this means

Your scores skew low across most dimensions. The one you scored highest on is probably your most authentic value — start there if you want to build anything.

The blind spot

The medieval jester was the only person at court allowed to tell the truth. Your irreverence can be that kind of honesty — or it can be laziness in costume. Worth figuring out which.
