About This Quiz

Sports: love them or hate them, everyone has had to do them. Whether you're a natural jock, a reedy little nerd, or something in the middle, you have experienced the joys and horrors of picking teams, running around in too-hot or too-cold weather, humiliating or flattering uniforms, and either caring deeply or being profoundly indifferent to the outcome when your team is on the field (or pitch, court, etc).

Fortunately, even if you are built to wrestle a QWERTY keyboard instead of another person, there's a huge variety in the world of sports that means you probably did eventually find one you could love.

We want to know what that sport is, so we can help give you the name to match. Are you a true-born jock, king or queen of the field, who should be leading a team to victory after victory? Are you a sleek and independent runner, always competing with your own personal best? Are you a field sports aficionado, out there to conquer nature and hunt your dinner? 

Perhaps you're an adventurer, and you never saw an iceberg you didn't want to climb or a cave you didn't want to plumb. Tell us, and we'll help you pick out the moniker that suits you best!
