Hi! So I LOVE doing classpecting but I've basically broken it down so much that i could see myself as almost any classpect or at least 1-2 classes per aspect, i'd love to know if anyone else has done the same and if this is why mage of light ends up being such a popular title?
what are yalls opinions and should classpecting only be kept to actual characters who have a personal narrative?

Classpectin' is so much fun. But I think personal classpectin' shouldn't be a thing, mainly just because there are so many facets to yourself that it ends up like you described: seein' yourself as multiple classpect's, not really tied down to one. I don't think anyone should STOP classpectin' themselves, but I definitely think the more popular way should be someone ELSE classpectin' you, as they can see your most prominent features without it all gettin' muddied up with all the others.
As for your mage of light question, I have no real answer to be quite honest with you. Maybe it's because Light is such a broad Aspect?? But they all are pretty broad so... ¯\_(⌐▨_▨)_/¯

i think someone else classpecting you is the more popular option at least currently, i think i will stick with doom then

What i ended up doing with some friends when I was in highschool was classpecting myself and two of my friends but we did it discussion style- like backing up our reasoning and shit and going back and forth. i feel like its a fun way to get a say in what you consider to be your classpect while still getting other peoples opinions- but when it comes down to it its all just for fun and power to those who wanna give themself whatever classpect they want! its def easier to classpect characters than real people though hehe
i’d let others classpect me just so I don’t like, make mine super cool. internal bias can indeed exist. but that is merely my take on it
oh yeah internal bias could def affect how someone classpects themself- in middle school i decided i was a rogue of heart (i am decidedly not) and im sure youll never guess why ahah!

Oh good, like has already been mentioned, the personal bias coming in is what makes it so messy. Havin' someone else classpect you is the way to go, good its the more popular option between them! B)
personally, i don't think it's too serious whether you personally classpect yourself or classpect real people or whatever! i think ultimately it serves as a narrative device and a lense through which to analyse media (and a surprisingly helpful one, at that!) and that attempting to put a real person into a particular narrative arc is always gonna be a little messy. not that that's a bad thing! just, there's always gonna be multiple answers, because our stories aren't pre-planned, and we could go any which way at any time. even beyond that, our "narrative arcs" are rather brief parts of our lives and subject to change, even if it seems like there's recurring themes. that being said i do classpect myself and everyone i know because i have an unhealthy obsession with the system BUT it is purely just for fun on my end

i think personal classpecting rocks honestly! its very fun ^_^
AS for why mage of light ends up being so popular as a mage of light id maybe say its because the people who tend to dive really deep into classpecting end up skewing light/mage -wards? simply because light is the aspect of general, undiscerning knowledge, and mage is the class which falls closest to a researcher. i personally havent seen a whole lot of mage of lights, so it could also be a the people you surround yourself with?
for me i tend to narrativise my life & have noticed specific """"themes"""" within my lifetime which is a Very Funny thing to say about a human life but whatever. while its hard to narrow it down to Only One classpect for me its like. it's so obvious haha it may just be a me thing? but yeah!
tldr i think classpecting is awesome and mage of light is a very apt title for nerds

yes!! these are my exact thoughts about it and i guess why i prefer my ever-growing list instead of a definitive answer that is not actually that conclusive haha xd, even having others classpect me is different every time and that gets added as well. i wish i could just pick one though so i could make more cool aspect stuff instead of just whoever is my favorite mspfa character currently. if anyone is interested i can post my giant list too and yall can try to grab a title for me based on that alone
I love classpecting !!! i think the classpect system is just kinda fun and I like talking abt it with my friends personally i had my bff assign me a class because i am indecisive as hell but i also think reading about the classes in order to assign yourself one is a fun way to learn more about the topic. I do agree with what a lot of people are saying, that the best way to get an "accurate" classpect reading is by asking people around you about it. At the end of the day, it is just silly homestuck astrology though so no harm in giving urself an "inaccurate" classpect.

i agree that an outside perspective is very helpful! but i also think that other people's views of you can be just as skewed as your view of yourself. i think it would be hard to find a classpect that fit anybody perfectly, so whatever feels right at a given moment is what i like to use :^) mine has switched up a few times over the years

Thatz true too !!!! there's a lot going on when it comes to who we are as people so categorizing our whole entire selfs is just. infathomably difficult, infamously arbitrary, and will never be perfect, no matter if you're categorizing yourself or having someone else do it for you lolz. I like the "going with what's right in the moment" thing i think that's a good way to identify yourself anyways and that also applies to classpecting.
