About This Quiz

Aquarians are known for being eccentric humanitarians who want to see everyone succeed. Does that sound like you? If it doesn't, you might be more of another sign than the one you were born with. This quiz will put all of your Aquarian traits to the test, and it will let you know if you're actually reading the right horoscope. It will certainly tell you if you're actually an Aquarius! 

If you think about it, our zodiac signs are rather generic. Just because you're born at a certain time doesn't mean that you will have the same traits as everyone else born during the same month. A real Aquarius would be appalled by the thought of being so generally lumped in with other people. Aquarians are the kind of people who thrive on originality. 

During our questions, try to focus less on your sign and more on your traits. We've woven in all the known traits of the Aquarius sign, but we've left a lot of room for you to be yourself. Once you answer with your own sense of style, we'll be able to tell if you are actually an Aquarius or if you are more of something else. Look at the big picture and find out!
