Skirmisher. Yep, that's pretty dead on.

Just got done adding in four more Mechs to the Mech selection to give pilots a better selection. Each Mech has unique point values that contribute to your final total.

I also adjusted some values to make it easier for pilots to achieve Sniper and Direct Fire Support.

THE DUELIST
61% Brawler
36% Scout
64% Skirmisher
38% Sniper
28% LRM_Support
36% Direct_Fire_Support
58% Tank
54% Leader
10% Squirrel
82% Duelist

Well, it appears that you have shown a strong penchant for single combat! You are a Duelist who would prefer to engage your enemy in the open, singly, and with a level playing field. Skulking about and firing from cover is not your style, nor are firing lines. You want an honorable match between equal champions to determine the outcome of a battle rather than an inane, mass slaughter.

It was fun! And fairly accurate. My Skirmisher and Brawler scores should be a bit higher. Squirrel should definitely be higher. My LRM and Direct Fire Support should be lower, and probably Sniper and Leader too. But overall it's pretty accurate.

By the way, what kind of points does choosing "Rooster" as your favorite animal give? That was my selection...

Rooster gives the following:

+2 Brawler (Having owned Roosters, I can attest that they are scrappy when they want to be)
+3 Scout (Roosters are fairly vigilant, keeping watch over their flock)
+1 Skirmisher (They often hit and run if attacking larger animals)
-5 Sniper
-5 LRM Support
-5 Tank
+5 Leader
+3 Squirrel
+5 Duelist


Edit: If you recall what you answered, then I can look at it the answer values to see if they need tweaking. Also, I just finished modifying some of the numbers a few minutes ago, so its possible that you'll get a slightly different score if you take it again.

Tweaked the answer values to better balance Brawling and Dueling.

[FlipOver]

66% Brawler, 29% Scout, 64% Skirmisher, 36% Sniper, 44% LRM_Support, 66% Direct_Fire_Support, 64% Tank, 42% Leader, 6% Squirrel and 57% Duelist!

Brawler / Skirmisher

Makes sense, but we could use some more options in some answers:
On the first question/preference would be more accurate (also increasing the complexity of the tests calculations) to have multiple choice answers.
Same thing for option 3.
On the 10th, I'd change the text of the last option from "leaving them to die" to "leaving them to handle the enemy". I know it's not much of a difference, but the original text is suggesting a cowardly move "in your face" so, even if people do flee, they will look at other options of answer as to not feel like they are cowards.
On the 12th a "Horse" is missing from all the options

To be fair, it'a a very nice test and give you some insightful results (most of the time)

Thanks for the feedback; I like your ideas and will revisit some of the questions.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way for me to set-up multiple choice questions, so that functionality is out of my hands. However, I can add in new answers to some of the questions that need them and perhaps take the larger questions and split them into two separate ones.

The Skirmisher

61% Brawler, 37% Scout, 76% Skirmisher, 34% Sniper, 46% LRM_Support, 60% Direct_Fire_Support, 63% Tank, 60% Leader, 7% Squirrel and 50% Duelist!
It appears that you like guerilla style warfare. You flit from cover to cover as you hammer home powerful strikes as opportunities present themselves. Careful not to let your enemies tie you down, you prefer a strong mix of speed and firepower. Mechs like the Shadowhawk, Hunchback 4P and 4SP, Quickdraw, and Dragon are probably right up your alley.

Holy cow, I forgot about this, lol. I honestly don't know what happened; I guess the quiz timed out or something.
