What Makes This BDSM Test Different?
Most online kink quizzes offer superficial results with a few percentages and generic descriptions. The Marquis de Mayfair assessment takes an entirely different approach, applying rigorous psychometric methodology developed from peer-reviewed academic research.
Our 64-question assessment measures your responses across 16 scientifically-validated dimensions of power exchange psychology. Rather than simply telling you whether you're "dominant" or "submissive," we map the nuanced interplay between your various inclinations, revealing a psychological portrait as unique as you are.
Academic Foundation You Can Trust
Unlike entertainment quizzes, every question in our assessment traces back to published research in journals including Psychology & Sexuality, the Journal of Sexual Medicine, and the Archives of Sexual Behavior. We've synthesised findings from researchers including Connolly (2006), Yost & Hunter (2012), and Wismeijer & Van Assen (2013) to create questions that genuinely measure what they claim to measure.
This isn't pseudoscience dressed in academic language. Each of our 64 questions carries an individual scoring weight based on its centrality to the psychological construct being measured, its discriminant validity, and its resistance to social desirability bias.
The 16 BDSM Archetypes: Which One Are You?
Upon completing the assessment, you'll discover which of our 16 unique archetypes best reflects your intimate psychology. Each archetype includes historical parallels, mythological connections, and detailed psychological profiles that help contextualise your results within broader human experience.
Power Exchange Archetypes
👑 The Sovereign
Those who score highest in dominance discover The Sovereign within themselves. Like Catherine the Great or the god Zeus, Sovereigns possess natural authority that others instinctively recognise. They find profound meaning in responsibility, experiencing leadership not as burden but as sacred trust.
🌙 The Devotee
The complement to The Sovereign, Devotees have discovered what Empress Josephine and the mythological Psyche understood: there is extraordinary strength in surrender. They experience profound peace through trust, finding freedom in yielding control to one worthy of their submission.
☯️ The Shapeshifter
Named for Loki and embodied by figures like David Bowie, Shapeshifters resist categorisation. They contain multitudes flowing between dominance and submission based on partner, mood, and context. Their fluidity is not confusion but completeness.
Sensation Archetypes
🔨 The Artisan
Masters of sensation who understand that intensity is a language. Like Hephaestus forging at his anvil, Artisans are craftspeople of experience, finding profound connection through the careful administration of physical sensation.
🔥 The Phoenix
Those who have discovered what mystics have always known: that there is a door in sensation that opens to transcendence. Named for the mythological bird reborn through fire, Phoenixes experience transformation through intensity.
Bondage Archetypes
🕸️ The Weaver
Artists who see beauty in restriction. Like Arachne at her loom, Weavers create with rope, leather, and restraint—finding meditative flow states through the technical practice of bondage.
🦋 The Chrysalis
Named for the transformative cocoon, Chrysalises find freedom through physical restriction. When bound, something within them finally quiets—the paradox of liberation through helplessness.
Primal Archetypes
🐺 The Apex
Pure instinct unleashed. Like the mythological wolf Fenrir, those who discover The Apex within have connected with something ancient—the hunter's focus, the predator's presence.
🦊 The Wild Heart
The thrill of being pursued, the exhilaration of the chase, the relief of being caught by one worthy of the hunt. Wild Hearts, like the mythological Atalanta, understand that their flight is itself a form of power.
Ownership Archetypes
🏛️ The Guardian
Those drawn to total authority find The Guardian archetype. Complete ownership of another's wellbeing is not burden but purpose—a sacred responsibility that fulfils something fundamental.
🐾 The Beloved
The complement to The Guardian, Beloveds have discovered that being wholly possessed can be wholly freeing. Their devotion transforms those worthy of receiving it.
Nurturing Archetypes
💜 The Protector
Combining firm authority with tender affection, Protectors embody nurturing dominance. Like the goddess Demeter, they create safe spaces where others can access vulnerability.
🎠 The Innocent
Those who have preserved something precious that adulthood tries to destroy. Innocents access healing through regressive states, finding medicine in play and care.
Witness & Service Archetypes
✨ The Luminary
Those who come alive under observation. Luminaries, like Mata Hari or Aphrodite, understand the circuit that completes between the seen and the seer.
👁️ The Oracle
Witnesses who see not just bodies but souls. Like Anaïs Nin chronicling desire, Oracles derive profound satisfaction from observation.
🕯️ The Acolyte
Those who find worship in service. The perfectly anticipated need, the flawlessly executed task the Acolytes transform devotion into art.

Three Custom Sexual Fantasies
Perhaps the most unique feature of our assessment is the generation of three bespoke sexual fantasies tailored specifically to your archetype and dimensional scores.
These aren't generic scenarios but carefully crafted narratives that speak to your particular psychology. A Sovereign receives fantasies that place them in positions of loving authority. A Phoenix receives scenarios that explore transformation through intensity. A Shapeshifter might receive fantasies that showcase their ability to inhabit different positions within a single encounter.
These fantasies serve as inspiration the starting points for conversations with partners or private exploration of your desires.

The Benefits of Self-Knowledge
Understanding your intimate psychology offers benefits that extend far beyond the bedroom:
🗣️ Improved Communication
When you can articulate what drives your desires, conversations with partners become clearer and more productive. Instead of vague feelings, you have language for your needs.
💚 Reduced Shame
Our assessment is built on the principle that all consensual expressions are valid. Seeing your desires reflected in historical figures and mythological archetypes helps normalise what society often pathologises.

Understanding your archetype helps you recognise compatible partners. A Devotee might thrive with a Sovereign; a Wild Heart might find bliss with an Apex.
🌱 Personal Growth
Your report's shadow work section provides guidance for continued development. Understanding your psychology is the first step toward evolving it.
✨ Enhanced Experiences
When you understand what you're seeking, you can pursue it more effectively. Self-knowledge transforms random encounters into meaningful experiences.
