War Test

The War Test is inspired by psychometric methodology and based on research into the characters of the TV series. The test provides feedback such as the following:

Morgan Henderson

Although you have built an empire on connecting people, you are rather better at managing a crisis than a conversation. You have a publicist on speed dial, a legal team on retainer, and a talent for turning a scandal into a press release before the coffee has gone cold. You are a generous host and a devoted stepfather, and you take your place in that young person's life very seriously. However, when your authority is questioned, you are inclined to retaliate first and reflect much later, if at all. And yet, you genuinely believe you are one of the good ones, and on your better days, you are.

St John Smallwood

Although you would never admit to taking anything too seriously, you regard a good rivalry as one of the great joys of professional life. You carry yourself with the effortless confidence of someone who has never once wondered whether you belong, and your sense of theater can make even a dull hearing feel like opening night. Your friends find you exhilarating company, and your opponents find you exhausting. However, all that bravado takes considerable upkeep, and a well-aimed remark about your insecurities can wound you more than you would ever let on. All the same, life is never dull when you are in the room.

Carla Duval

Like a true star, you know how to hold a room, a camera, and a grudge, usually all at once. You are glamorous, quick, and deeply perceptive about the people around you, especially when they are lying. When you suspect something is wrong, you would rather find hard evidence than accept a comforting story. Motherhood matters to you enormously, even in the middle of a storm. On the flip side, when you feel abandoned, your instinct is to escalate, and the headlines that follow are rarely flattering to anyone. All the same, you refuse to let anyone else write the ending of your story.

Nicholas Taylor

While others are busy making headlines, you are usually the one quietly working out what could go wrong. You believe that most disasters can be prevented by careful planning and a good night's sleep, and you are rarely mistaken about the risks others choose to ignore. You make an excellent partner, in business and in life, because you balance boldness with patience. However, you can feel overshadowed by louder personalities, and you are not entirely sure you would enjoy the kind of victory that requires a knife. All the same, when things go wrong, everyone turns to you to put them right.

Johnny Warren

Like many self-made people, you have a keen sense of how much those around you were simply handed. You are charming, quick on your feet, and willing to take on whatever task nobody else wants, which is how you have made yourself useful to some very important people. You remain loyal to where you come from, and you have no patience for snobs. However, your ambition can lead you to cut corners you later wish you had not, and you live with a constant worry that someone will see through you. In the end, what you want most is not money or status, but respect.

Serena Byrne

Far from being intimidated by grand old institutions, you rather enjoy beating them at their own game. You read people quickly, you know how to make a client feel like the only person in the world, and you are never more alive than in the middle of a high-profile fight. Tradition, to you, is a set of suggestions. However, you find it difficult to leave work at the office, especially when your business partner is also the person you come home to, and your cases have a way of becoming personal crusades. Nevertheless, your passion is precisely why people want you in their corner.

Beatrice Ubosi

Like a seasoned chess player, you prefer to win quietly, several moves before anyone else realizes the game has started. Discipline, preparation, and an unreadable expression have served you well, and you have risen to the very top of a profession that did not make it easy. You are not cold, exactly; you simply see no reason to hand your feelings to people who might use them. However, your composure can keep even old friends at arm's length, and some former protégés have taken your reserve personally. Nevertheless, there are few people whose respect is as hard-won, or as valuable, as yours.
