Now turn your monitor upside down, check your responses against the answer key at the bottom of the page, and discover your Heraldic Aptitude on this chart:
| 6 right: | What a herald! You may be dateless for the rest of your life, but at least you'll probably get a Pelican! |
| 5 right: | You cheated! It's physically impossible to get this score! |
| 4 right: | Astounding! Do you sleep in your heraldic tabard? |
| 3 right: | Pretty good! You're either a studious herald, or very knowledgeable about medieval workmen's tools. |
| 2 right: | Not a bad start, but perhaps learning the tinctures is more your speed. |
| 1 right: | Lucky guess, wasn't it? |
| 0 right: | Congratulations, you're a normal human being! |
The pictures (and names) of these heraldic charges were taken from "A Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry" by James Parker (1894).
