The official The Secret World website has been updated today with a new "initiation test" which will quiz you on your views on the world. With introspective questions such as, "Who rules the world?", and "What do you seek?", your answers will determine which of the game's three secret societies you are the best fit for: The fanatical Templars, the "bad boys and girls" the Illuminati, and the secretive Dragon.

Users who complete the initiation test will join one of the three secret societies and be entered to win a beta test spot, receive updates on The Secret World, get their own secret society initiate kit bundled with wallpapers featuring their chosen group, and also qualify for exclusive in-game items once the game goes live.

In addition to the initiation test, the official forums have received a bit of a touch up and a new section has been added called "The Sanctuary". Only members of a secret society may enter these forums, and only the forums of their particular society.

All this is leading up to Funcom's big reveal of The Secret World at PAX this weekend. Take the test here.

Which society did you end up joining, and why? Let us know in the comments!

It was determined that I should join the Dragon society.  Have to say I am impressed with how they have been handling the promotion of this game thus far.  Maintaining an air of secrecy and simultaneously spurring on interest.

Yes, I like it from the time I first read about it. The problem I have with this is it looks like I should have had a higher resolution because I finished the test and said what clan I should be part of but I can't  read all of it or see if I am to enter any information.

I was determined and I'm going to be a Templer. I can't wait for this game as everytime something new about it is known it gets more exciting.

By the way a new trailer is released as well: http://www.buffed.de/features/5344/der-neue-cinematic-trailer-vorstellung-die-templer

Quite the Promo, well worked on... hope this isnt what FC is wasting their only time on though. Marked an Illuminati follower... power and destruction... what more can you ask for in life?! 

Cool idea, but poor design of the test - because of the rotating cubes, can't easily click on the 'C' option, if you choose to...should have centered the flash animation or tested it for compatability on other browsers, though I tried it on IE 8 and the latest Firefox.

really cool and stuff... except you have to have a specific resolution to watch it.. Sucks balls..

On the first screen I can only see the top answer and 1/3 of the second and I want to answer the final question.. now whats up with that??

Fix it I say.. Fiiiix it :D

The whole flash thing looks horrid on my screen so I couldn't take the 'test'.  Alot was cut off so no place to put my answers and such.  Was only mildly bummed. Will just have to wait til its' release. =0)

Illuminati is my calling.

Dragon.

Apparently I'm a member of the Dragon faction. This is not what I expected, but nevertheless fits me extremely well. I mean, I'm a practicing Taoist so their philosophy matches nicely with my own... Intriguing. I will probably end up making characters within the other two factions as well.

Templar here.

I like this type of promotion. Was fun and to be honest somewhat accurate to my play style.

I would tell you where I fit in, but then I would have to kill you.

As others said I had problems picking A B or C. The whole thing was poorly made so I can't finish it until they fix it. Using most recent Firefox btw.

 Try changing your resolution. 

Works perfectly fine for me, and plenty others. I'd say it's your fault, not theirs.

Took the test, I'm a Dragon!

Click view on the toolbar, then select full screen.  Worked for me.
