Every era needs its specialists, and the Renaissance had a particularly stubborn approach to figuring out where you belonged. You didn't just pick a trade; you got handed to a master for years, learned by watching, ruined a lot of materials, and eventually became the kind of person who could tell if a stone was set wrong from across a room.
It's not so different from how people sort themselves out now, honestly. Some of us want the precise, patient work. Some of us want the job with a little fire in it, literally. Some of us just want to know we're right about the coastline before we commit to anything.
This quiz asks the questions a master might've actually cared about back then, the small tells that separate a cartographer from a goldsmith from someone who was clearly born to run a print shop. None of it requires you to know anything about the actual Renaissance, just to be honest about how you'd behave under a deadline, a flame, or a disappointed patron.
Answer as yourself, not as who you'd like to be assigned to. The workshops don't care which one sounds more impressive, and neither should you.
