Where does “Soldier, Poet, King” come from?
The Oh Hellos released “Soldier, Poet, King” on their 2015 album Dear Wormwood. Personality quizzes inspired by the song also invite people to see themselves in these three roles.
The song’s story and a personality quiz’s interpretation of the roles are different things. This page introduces the three types used in Hitostat’s 30-question quiz.
