About This Quiz

It seems that complimenting someone with how much dragon energy they have has become a thing. That being said, we don't throw around such statements lightly. After an extensive look into the actual qualities that have been assigned to this mythical creature, we've compiled a series of questions that are sure to settle once and for all if you have what it takes to call yourself a true dragon.

For example, if you seem to be successful in life without trying all that hard, this is a trait that all dragons share. It would really put things over the top if you have a stockpile of treasures hidden deep underground somewhere.

Dragons are also known for getting bored very easily and needing constant stimulation to stay interested. If it's got to be all about you or you're likely to lose interest, your percentage is on the rise. It will go through the roof if you cause all kinds of drama just to entertain yourself.

If setbacks to your plans drive you completely crazy and you hold those around you to an impossible standard, you're heading towards the higher reaches of being a dragon. In fact, if all the above statements fit you perfectly, you might just be approaching the rarefied air of 100% dragon territory.
