About

The Soldier, Poet, King Quiz is a viral quiz available on uQuiz that determines whether you're a "soldier," "poet" or "king" based on a series of questions. The quiz was created by Tumblr user atlanticsea and is inspired by the song "Soldier, Poet, King" by The Oh Hellos. It then went viral on TikTok in mid-January 2023 as users posted videos revealing their results. The trend is largely set to a sped-up version of the "Soldier, Poet, King" song.

Origin

Sometime around early January 2023, uQuiz user nour (atlanticsea on Tumblr) posted a 20-question quiz titled "Are you a Soldier, a Poet, or a King?" to Uquiz,^[1] the description reading, "There will come… who, exactly ? Heavily inspired by the song 'Soldier, Poet, King' by The Oh Hellos. Not heavily inspired by Christianity." As early as January 16th, TikTokers began posting their results after taking the quiz.
