CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It estimates affinity for four on-field roles: goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward. It is based on stated preferences for match situations, responsibilities, and training tasks.
How should responses be selected?
Select the option that best reflects typical enjoyment and comfort, not an ideal answer. Use general patterns across recent playing or training situations.
How are results calculated and reported?
Scores are summed across 16 items and compared across the four roles. If top scores are within one point, the result is reported as a blended profile.
Do results determine the position that should be played?
No; results are a reflective starting point and do not guarantee fit, selection, or performance. Coaching input, experience, team needs, and trial play can change the best choice.
How long does the quiz take, and is sign-up required?
Completion typically takes about 10 minutes for 16 questions. No account or sign-up is required.
