Fine, but I like being Empress. The other 21 should choose another Arcana. 
Eh-maybe. The Myers-Briggs has always been skewed on the two [occasions](What Myers-Briggs typs are you?) that we have done it.
While I am not a tarot believer (or astrology, etc), the list of choices is simply one of choosing a self description of how you see yourself. So it comes as no surprise that I believe that I really am…Tah Dah!..The Sun!
(It is my belief that friends, my students and coworkers, and relatives would mostly believe that this description fits me pretty well.)
This is the happiest card in the deck. It is full of joy and optimism, everything is right with the world. We are as innocent children playing in the fields without care. The Sun brings success, well-being and happiness in all spheres - material, emotional, spiritual -wherever our desires lay.When this card appears in a Tarot spread it indicates success, joy and happiness. Obstacles will be overcome, goals achieved.When badly aspected, it can indicate a stagnation through over-indulgence, too much of a good thing.
XIX: The Sun 88%
II - The High Priestess 75%
IV - The Emperor 75%
VIII - Strength 75%
XIII: Death 75%
0 - The Fool 75%

XI: Justice 50%
X - Wheel of Fortune 50%
III - The Empress 44%
XV: The Devil 0%
I got Justice. Fits pretty well I think. Followed closely by The High Priestess and Magician. What’s Magician mean/stand for?
Or maybe I’m just judgmental…
What the hell, only five minutes for an edit?
Magician is masculine? Weird. Fits though. Even though I’m a chick.
Since John DiFool didn’t pick the obvious choice, I suppose I don’t have to either. I could anyway…
ETA: Oh, we aren’t just picking? Good, because I can’t choose. I’ll take the quiz and come back.
So I got to the end, thought about my answers, and said, “Well, Wheel of Fortune is right out.”
Downhill from there. Apparently my self-assessment is still very down on myself.
Also, I only saw stats for 13 of the 22 cards. No Pope, Chariot, Hermit, Temperance, Hanged Man, Star, Moon, Judgement, nor World.
Yet another Death, in my case tied with The Tower. As The Tower’s description has yet to be mentioned…
“If badly aspected this can be the worst card of the Tarot deck. The Tower always indicates upheavel, possibly chaos, loss and destruction. Its effects are never pleasant and can be painful. The card illustrates lightning striking the Tower. The lightning cannot be avoided, the destruction it brings is inevitable. All we can do is attempt to survive and rebuild. The Tower brings sudden, severe change. When the Tower appears in a Tarot spread it represents sudden and possibly violent change, disruption or loss.”
Both at 75%. The rest of my results:
XVI: The Tower -- 75%
XIII: Death -- 75%
II - The High Priestess -- 63%
0 - The Fool -- 50%
III - The Empress -- 44%
IV - The Emperor -- 44%
XIX: The Sun -- 44%
XV: The Devil -- 44%
XI: Justice -- 44%
I - Magician -- 44%
VIII - Strength -- 38%
VI: The Lovers -- 25%
X - Wheel of Fortune -- 19%
I decided to take this for my amusement. A whopping 100% **Devil **here. I suppose I can’t argue, given that the next highest is a mere 69%
You Scored as III - The Empress
The Empress is a maternal symbol. She is the mother figure who loves, nurtures and protects. She will protect you, she will always be there when you are in trouble. When you fall over and graze your knee, the Empress will kiss it better. Yet she is not a weak figure. Her compassion is strength. If her children are threatened she will stop at nothing to protect them. If well aspected in a Tarot spread, the Empress can symbolise security, protection and unconditional love. If badly aspected it can represent over-protectiveness, fear of risk taking and refusal to face the real world.
III - The Empress
81%
XIII: Death
75%
The Empress with Death the next closest. I don’t really agree, I am not all that maternal unless you are a puppy or kitten.
It does appear from those who’ve posted their full results that only 13 cards are considered: The Fool, The Magician, High Priestess, Emperor, Empress, The Lovers, Strength, Wheel of Fortune, Justice, Death, The Devil, The Tower, and The Sun. Those who answered the poll with other cards must not have taken the test.
What a rip-off, I want my money back. :mad:
Theory: Death represents change and transition. A lot of Dopers are left of center politically and are maybe more comfortable with change…?
The “maternal” Empress could represent not just nurturing types but anybody who is responsible for looking out for others, so, managers and supervisors and, I dunno, maybe social activist types?
You Scored as XVI: The Tower

(My bolding)
That doesn’t sound entirely cordial, or entirely unfamiliar.

Christ, what does the good aspect look like?
If well aspected, it still means great upheaval and change, but with the greater potential of a very nice outcome in the end without such a huge amount of effort on the part of the Querant. It’s the card of “all things change”, really. Change, even change for the better, usually comes with some scary shit, some shift that makes you think maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. Think of the image - the Tower is a literal tower on most cards. Even if you *want *to demolish a tower so you can plant a garden, and you begin that demolition carefully, there’s usually a point at which it races out of your control and you may be bonked on the head by a brick metaphor.
Sometimes this destruction is literal (I pulled a badly aspected Tower once and the roof blew off my office a few days later) sometimes it’s destruction of the ego, or of a role you once found fulfilling, the loss of a job, etc. The other cards, as well as the Querant’s questions and answers, of course, will provide clarification much of the time. If well aspected around career, you have good hope that a better job will find you pretty soon. If it’s not so well aspected, you’d better make a lot of resumes, because you will probably have work harder for an outcome you like.
Another time I pulled The Tower was a few days before my daughter made her unexpectedly early entrance into the world. That not only totally threw off the plans I’d made for the next six months, but it ultimately led me into an entirely new career in nursing, as well as a new husband, new place to live…really a new life. She was The Tower for me, tearing down my old life, which wasn’t really working for me any more.
So the Tower isn’t always bad, but it’s always uncomfortable.
This is the Tower from my favorite deck (The Book of Thoth). This is the one from what’s probably the most popular and common deck, The Rider-Waite. Honestly, you don’t need to know much esotericism to read this card. 
*BTW, I view Tarot readings as more than entertainment, but less than fortune telling. I see them as therapy tools, helping the Querent focus their thoughts and uncover their subconscious ideas and plans. They’re really pretty Rorschach cards.
You Scored as IV - The Emperor
The Emperor represents power. There is nothing subtle about this Tarot card. The Empress has power through love.The Emperor has power through power. He is in control, he is forceful and ambitious. Nothing will stop him. He is a natural leader, having either been born to the role or having disposed of all those who stood in his way. If well aspected in a Tarot spread this card can indicate success. It represents obstacles overcome, goals reached and ambition fulfilled. If badly aspected it can indicate either weakness or an abuse of power.
I do end up as a leader in a lot of situations - in fact, today I was promoted to team lead. Hopefully I won’t abuse that.
yjc, congratulations on your promotion! May the Force be with you!
WhyNot, what does it mean for a particular card to be well or poorly “aspected”? Do you draw or choose the cards in a particular way or arrange them in such a way as to highlight something? I don’t get it.
Yes, you can. A common arrangement of the cards, for example, is the Celtic Cross, where each card has a particular significance by placement. Over in one spot goes the card that represents the Signifier (the person with a question), and across it goes the card which represents the Theme of the question (love and money. It’s almost always love and money. That’s all people ever want to know about…) and across that, the Influence. Other cards represent Influences from your immediate past and the future. So cards will have different interpretations depending on what spot they’re in, and what other things are around it.
The Devil is likely to mean a really rockin’ sex life if it shows up in close relation to The Lovers and the Two of Cups.
If it shows up in the Influences spot and the Signifier is The Hanged Man, then the Devil card may indicate that there is a lying, corrupting person in the Querent’s life that s/he should be wary of, someone that has thus far been fooling them with charm or beauty.
So what does The Devil card mean, then? It can mean both great sex (often, but not always, of the BDSM variety) and it can mean a liar, and it can even mean a perfectly nice person who happens to be a Capricorn, depending on how the card is aspected. There are tons of symbols in the cards - Hebrew letters and numbers and specifically chosen colors and shapes and angles which all have meanings. You can get crazy in depth with the imagery on some decks. And the more different symbols and images, the more meanings you can find in a single card.
That’s really all that “aspected” means. It means that the other cards influence which meaning of your target card you’re going to use. The cards (and the people doing the reading) work together to tell a story.
