Get ready to discover exactly what type of kinky deviant you are! 
The BDSM test has become a staple in the BDSM community and is a great way to discover your BDSM archetypes. It’s a wonderful starting point for beginners but also something that experienced people may want to return to every so often. I’ve taken the test a few times over the years and am always amazed at how much my tastes have changed.

Established as a free resource in 2014, you can take your own BDSM test at bdsmtest.org. You have the option to continue as anonymous or create an account with your name and email. You also have the option to take a short or long version of the test. I suggest taking the long version for maximum accuracy. You may be surprised by what you’re into!

At this point, you’ll have the option to show all the questions or skip those aimed toward submissives or Dominants. If this is your first time taking the test, I suggest answering all the questions. This will give you the most reliable results. However, if you know you lean strongly one way or the other, save time by selecting which questions you want to answer.

Once you get started, you’ll be offered statements that you will need to rate from absolutely disagree to absolutely agree with neutral options in between. Do your best at determining how you feel about each statement but don’t overthink it. Be as honest as you can even if it feels taboo or weird. These results are just for you (unless you choose to share them) so why not get as accurate a result as possible?

At the end, you will be given a breakdown of where you rate on all the BDSM archetypes. Keep in mind this test is just for fun so don’t get too hung up on the results, especially if they’re out of alignment with how you feel about yourself. It’s simply a test created to gain more insight into your BDSM preferences. If you feel the test was truly off, consider taking it again at a different time. Your mood, level of tiredness or anything could have tainted the results.

Towards the end of the test you have the option to indicate which archetypes you identify with on a scale of no idea, absolutely disagree to absolutely agree. If this is your first time taking the rest, you may want to take a moment to rate these archetypes. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, skip it. The test will still be an accurate rating based on your answers.

Once you land on the test results page, you will see how you rate for all the various BDSM archetypes. Higher percentages (highlighted green) show which archetypes you most align with and lower percentages (highlighted red) show which archetypes you don’t align with. The middle percentages (highlighted shades of yellow and orange) show which archetypes you feel neutral about.

Click on each archetype to learn exactly what it means. This is a wonderful way to get familiar with the different archetypes, even those you scored low on. The interesting thing about BDSM dynamics is that if you’re a slave, your counterpart will be the Master, something you probably scored low on. It’s worth learning about the counterparts to the archetypes you scored high on because these will most likely be your most compatible sexual partners.

If you’re in a relationship and/or have play partners, you may want to share your results with them. It’s a great way to open up a conversation about what you truly want in your sex life. The test results page gives you the option of copying your test scores so you can share them with others.

Here’s a look at my most recent results:

It’s interesting because the last time I took this test, about a year ago, I had slightly different results. I didn’t shift all that much but some archetypes shifted a little up or down. It makes sense that the more you explore different BDSM dynamics, the more you may open yourself up to different possibilities. I’m continuously learning new things and I love this type of exploration.

If you feel open to it, I’d love to see your results in the comments below. You can copy a text version from your test results page. You can also copy the web page to reference later. I find it useful to keep copies of my tests with the dates so I can see my evolution.

How accurate did you find this test? What surprised you? What did you already know? Do you plan on taking it again? Do you plan on sharing it with anyone?

I hope you found this useful. My goal is to spread sexual and BDSM positivity. Everyone should be free to explore their true nature as long as they’re not hurting anyone else (without their consent!).
