About This Quiz

Set in a dystopian society full of reproductive repression and totalitarian regime, "The Handmaid's Tale" grabbed Hulu watchers' attention in 2017. Now on its third season, it has spoken to our greatest fears. The show pictures a society obsessed with fertility. Featuring "unwomen" who are sent to dangerous colonies and handmaids as incubators for the elite's children, there are many jobs that aren't so desirable. 

Telling us about your everyday actions, thoughts and preferences will help us to place you in the perfect position for surviving a brutal new world. Perhaps you are more of a Martha. Marthas serve as the home caretakers and they fought for a bit more independence. Or, maybe you are more strict and rigid like an Aunt. Your responses will make sure you end up in the right job. Your skills will be important, so try to answer with confidence. Once we've summed you up we will play the part of Hulu casting agent and let you know what you'll be doing.  

Will you stay hopeful for a revolution or conform to the routines of life under your Commander? Find out where you would fit into Margaret Atwood's twister imagination of society in this quiz.
