This test is balls. I put in that I value freedom and that people should be judged by their own merits and not birth and it gave me Liao for no other reason I can see other than I selected my second language to be Chinese since many of the coworkers I have in my career are of Chinese origin and it would help me communicate with them better. It gave me Liao. The oppressive dictatorship that doesn't care about individual rights because you exist to better the state. Yeah, that totally matches up with me valuing freedom and people being judged by their own merit.
Freedom = Marik and Rasalhague.
I know, Capellan citizens trade their freedom for the greater good (maybe choosing "Freedom" should more negative points to Liao and Clans, but I can't edit the test anymore). However, the Chinese language (obviously) and "people being judged by their own merit." gave you some good Liao points. Read this:
Quote
Unlike the other Successor States of the Inner Sphere, where individuals are born with citizenship, in the Confederation, citizenship is a benefit to be earned. All minors in the Capellan Confederation are technically wards of the state under the provisional supervision of their parents. During this time, they receive a state sponsored education and are encouraged to participate in the betterment of their communities. Upon reaching maturity, each Capellan child is evaluated to determine if they have proven their commitment to the state by participating in their community, whether through outreach work, artistic work of cultural value, or civic participation. Those who are found willing to provide service to the state are granted citizenship. Those who have not are given a grace period of two years after which they will have a second evaluation. Failure to earn citizenship after one's second evaluation relegates an individual to the class of non-citizens referred to as servitors. The life of a servitor is harsh, because a servitor has no legal rights within the Confederation. Servitorship, however, is not a lifetime sentence, as citizenship can still be earned as a servitor, although the task becomes significantly harder. Likewise, neither citizenship nor servitorship is inheritable, with all Capellan children receiving the same education and facing the same requirements to earn citizenship.
Capellan citizens are expected to continue providing services to their community throughout their lifetime, and the state makes a point of continuing to promote and reward those who provide selfless service to the state. All Capellan citizens are guaranteed free healthcare & education for life, in addition to other minor benefits. The result is a Capellan citizenry who is far more loyal and civic-minded than the average Inner Sphere inhabitant, one who sees his citizenship as a reward for hard work and not a right.

Meaning: it doesn't matter if you are the son of a noble, you are equal to a peasant until you prove yourself. That's a very different notion than any other House (most are very aristocratic, with the notion of birth and bloodline are more important then merit).
PS: let's not forget there are other questions in the quiz (how did you answer them?)
