Mostly As: Decadent
Your name is probably Caligula or Titus. You’re a twisted hedonist with a weaselly eye for politics and an unholy taste in extreme entertainment. Your hobbies are unnatural sex acts, orgies, projectile vomiting, and torturing your underlings for entertainment. It’s people like you who destroyed the Roman Empire.
Spartan rating: What?

Mostly Bs: Normal
You belch, drink, eat, sleep, play footy and computer games, watch telly, read magazines, go to the pub, eat takeaways, listen to music, work, have friends, get laid sometimes. All the usual stuff. Your mates like you. So (you hope) does your girlfriend. You’re a normal bloke. Stop worrying.
Spartan rating: Can’t really be bothered

Mostly Cs: Puritan
You radiate an aura of 100% clean-living keenness, play every sport there is, rarely drink, eat lots of fibre and are always on time for work. You’re friendly enough, but never go for the Friday pint, and annoy your workmates by nagging them about smoking. Get that stick out of your backside - you’re way too healthy for your own good.
Spartan rating: Getting there

Mostly Ds: Spartan
You survived being exposed on icy hillsides as a child, have been starved, beaten, trained and tested to within an inch of your life, believe you’re the master race and have no discernible personality outside your battalion. A man of few words, your main hobbies are hunting, athletics and annihilating the enemies of your nation. Have you considered therapy?
