Frequently asked questions
What does the Space Explorer quiz measure?
The 10-question quiz measures your risk tolerance, scientific curiosity, leadership style, preference for solo vs. team work, and adaptability. The result maps you to one of several explorer archetypes — Pilot, Scientist, Engineer, Commander or Mission Specialist — and an astronaut whose career most closely fits your profile.
How are astronauts actually selected by NASA?
NASA's astronaut candidate programme typically receives 12,000–18,000 applications per class and selects 8–12 candidates — under 0.1% of applicants. Selection requires a STEM master's degree, 1,000+ hours of pilot-in-command jet time or three years of professional STEM experience, and successful completion of a long-duration physical and psychological evaluation.
Is the explorer type result based on real psychology?
The archetypes are inspired by NASA's published behavioural assessment criteria for long-duration crew selection, which include teamwork, conflict resolution and resilience under stress. The quiz is a fun simplification — it is not a clinical psychometric instrument.
Can I share my Space Profile result?
Yes — every result page generates a shareable card with your archetype, astronaut match, spirit mission and a unique URL. You can post it directly to social media or download the card as an image.
