It seemed appropriate

[Roa_Aoife]

I found this quiz on OK Cupid, and I just had to post it here.

Would you make a good Wolf? (http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=15568950778013722661)

My result?

Pack Leader
You scored 55 pack mentality, 68 body strength, and 72 mental strength!
You'd make an excellent wolf. You would be able to control the pack in an effective way while being able to bring down prey easily. Your headstrength will also make you an effective alpha wolf.

:D

If this doesn't belong in this forum, please feel free to move it.

[Diamond18]

Pack Wolf
You scored 51 pack mentality, 26 body strength, and 47 mental strength!
You'd make an okay pack wolf, but you wouldn't be much help to your fellow wolves. Still, you'd live because of your ability to mostly deal with stress. This is my first test, so it would be nice if I could get some feedback, so please rate my test! Thanx!

I'm curious to know if there's a Lone Wolf result.

[Farael]

GARRRR OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Now everyone do as I say, because I'm the:

Pack Leader
You scored 100 pack mentality, 42 body strength, and 94 mental strength!
These scores are DIVINE. You'd make an amazing wolf. You'd me able to make your pack an exceptionally great hunting team. As a great hunter, you'd be able to easily bring down your prey, and as a great leader, you'd be able to ensure that your pack lives happily. The ultimate wolf! This is my first test, so it would be nice if I could get some feedback, so please rate my test! Thanx!

Quite a nice test, although some of the questions were.... I don't know, I just didn't get some of the answers *blushes and curses ESL*

[Diamond18]

I'm pretty sure I understood all the questions/answers, but I had to fudge on quite a few answers because they really didn't have one that truly applied.

[Alcarillo]

Pack Member
You scored 77 pack mentality, 68 body strength, and 39 mental strength!
You'd make a pretty good wolf. You're capable of interacting with the rest of the pack in a healthy, productive way. You would also be able to hunt effectively with the rest of the pack and deal with the stress of being a wolf. This is my first test, so it would be nice if I could get some feedback, so please rate my test! Thanx!
Sounds like I'm a pretty average wolf.

[Formendacil]

Pack Leader
You scored 77 pack mentality, 78 body strength, and 86 mental strength!
You'd make an excellent wolf. You would be able to control the pack in an effective way while being able to bring down prey easily. Your headstrength will also make you an effective alpha wolf.

Say anything about my Werewolf performance, do you think? Maybe connected with my dislike of the "grand lynching plans" and my love of being declared a Known Innocent?

What do you think, my fellow ex-wolves, am I at all a Pack Leader?

[The 1,000 Reader]

Pack Leader
You scored 85 pack mentality, 78 body strength, and 78 mental strength!

For, no offense, but I think they'd want a leader who didn't get lynched so quickly so often.

[Lhunardawen]

Pack Leader
You scored 88 pack mentality, 78 body strength, and 90 mental strength!
These scores are DIVINE. You'd make an amazing wolf. You'd me able to make your pack an exceptionally great hunting team. As a great hunter, you'd be able to easily bring down your prey, and as a great leader, you'd be able to ensure that your pack lives happily. The ultimate wolf!


It says nothing about being a Werewolf Lover, though. :rolleyes:

[Valier]

I am a pack leader as well! 88 mentality, 78 body stength, 94 mental strength.:D

[Diamond18]

It seems we have an overpopulation of leaders here. :p Who are you going to lead when there are so few followers? ;)

[Caranlondien]

Pack Leader...
You scored 96 pack mentality, 68 body strength, and 62 mental strength!
Of course, lowest on the mental strength :rolleyes:

[Cailín]

Pack Wolf
You scored 70 pack mentality, 31 body strength, and 86 mental strength!
You'd make an okay pack wolf, but you wouldn't be much help to your fellow wolves. Still, you'd live because of your outstanding ability to deal with stress.

Oh dear. I'd make a pretty sorry wolf, I suppose.

[Lhunardawen]

That's easy. We kill each other and see who emerges victorious. Then the whole thing ends with a village win. :D

Hmmm. Not that flattering, is it? Oh well, lovely picture at the beginning...

EDIT: Fascinatingly my mother, a self-effacing, inoffensive woman, was a Pack Leader with a better score than any of you...

[the guy who be short]

Pack Leader

Another leader. :rolleyes:

Gee...the Barrow-downs is chock-full of leaders.

[Farael]

I'm starting to think the quiz had only two options... maybe we should expand on it! (or at least, those who know how to make one of those quizes should :p )

[Mithalwen]

I took the test at lunchtime and was a Pack leader with pretty good stats but due to "going off on one" elsewhere had no time to post the result. I retook the test using the alternate answers on the couple of questions I had hummed and haaed over and the result ? A Pack wolf with ABSOLUTELY ZERO MENTAL STRENGTH!! 0%, nothing, nada.... I mean I had a fairly dismal afternoon at work but it was a bit shattering to decline during the course of the afternoon to such an extent that my nutritional requirements are now limited to water and Baby Bio :(

[Nogrod]

Well, one more pack leader...

You scored 29 pack mentality, 63 body strength, and 70 mental strength!
This thread seems to be packed with only alpha-wolves, ready to bully everyone else down... :eek:

= Mith
A Pack wolf with ABSOLUTELY ZERO MENTAL STRENGTH!! 0%, nothing, nada....

I guess that might have been the number, how much more you had those points than the average tester...

[Valesse]

Nah, Mith is a leader with 110% Mental Ablity.

It listed me under Pack Leader also (with 84% body strength). I might be a rough-tough-and-tumble Texan, but I don't like operating anything heavier than a shopping cart, usually. ; )

[Mithalwen]

Well, one more pack leader...

Not comforting, Noggin, as one of my teachers once said, I would be insulted if anyone called me normal...... the only possibility was that I was the first of my gender and age group to take the test ... would that explain it? Not that there is any point in asking someone as feeble minded as myself... :eek:

[Roa_Aoife]

I think we've just got some awesome WW players hanging around.

Good idea! Maybe we could expand it to "What werewolf role is best suited for you?" and include Ranger, Seer, Hunter, and Cobbler. But what would the requirements be for each one?

[Boromir88]

Pack Wolf

Nice find Roa, well there's my results, I'll let you make what you will from it. :smokin:

[Nogrod]

Just a funny detail...

My pack mentality was 29
Diamond had 51

the next one was 70, the rest were 77, or higher...

So how come, there is repeatedly the situation of Nogrod vs. the rest of the village?
Why does Diamond pile up the suspicion at the start?

I guess this test has its merits? :D

EDIT: Sorry, just noticed: Roa had pack mentality of 55 - and still is able to pull out of trouble all the time... How do you do it Roa? Natural charm or what (Sleepy would say: X-factor - the one I'm totally lacking, as he so nicely put it yesterday)?

[Diamond18]

Good idea! Maybe we could expand it to "What werewolf role is best suited for you?" and include Ranger, Seer, Hunter, and Cobbler. But what would the requirements be for each one?

I think that would be an awesome test, and I nominate you to create it. :D I once made a test with Quizilla and I thought that site was pretty good. I don't really like the okcupid site, though, it tends to crash my browser. Annoying, that.

This test seems to be geared more towards would you make a good actual wolf. Just look at the questions about being outdoors, etc. That has no bearing on the Werewolf game, since unless you have a laptop, you're going to be playing it indoors. ;) I'm not sure what the low mental score was about. And as for pack mentality, well I was expecting to get Lone Wolf if there was such a thing, but there probably wasn't, considering no one else has gotten it.

I have yet to be a Wolf in Werewolf so I don't know yet how good of a one I would make. I seem to be able to get myself out of suspicion when I fall into it, but that might just be because I really have been innocent every time.

[Diamond18]

Well the test said I'd survive even though I'm not much help to my other wolves. Which, in game terms, should mean that I would ruthlessly sacrifice the rest of my team and be the last surviving werewolf.

Mwah ha ha ha!

[Lalaith]

So far there seem to be three options: pack leader, pack wolf and pack member.

I got the same as Diamond, Cailin and Ang: pack wolf.

[Celuien]

I'm yet another pack leader.

Okay, fellow leaders. Let's all lead each other around. My turn first. :D

[Gurthang]

Well, I'll join the pack of pack leaders. :rolleyes:

Pack Leader
You scored 85 pack mentality, 84 body strength, and 94 mental strength!

Interesting test, anyway, I pretty much liked it. Great find, Roa. :D

[Roa_Aoife]

How do you do it Roa? Natural charm or what (Sleepy would say: X-factor - the one I'm totally lacking, as he so nicely put it yesterday)?

I guess low pack mentality may indicate high self-confidence (ie secure enough to not follow the crowd), and I've always had a great deal of confidence (or at least have been able to fake it.) As I've always said, tell anyone anything with enough confidence, and everyone will believe you.

[The 1,000 Reader]

That's easy. We kill each other and see who emerges victorious. Then the whole thing ends with a village win. :D

Or we just enslave any pack wolves and live in Rivendell.

(Evil grin forms)

[Roa_Aoife]

Well, I've started on a quiz, but I need some input- what avriables are important in a game of Werewolf, and for what roles?

I can test up to four variables (but that's really complicated), so what should be in there? Cunning? Intellect? What adjective describes the ability to stay unsuspected? Or avoid getting lynched? What about decding who to dream of, or protect, or kill?

Opinions?

[Diamond18]

Well, matters of thought process such as intuition vs. logic should be addressed in some way. Also, the tendency to remain quiet or be outspoken. Sneaky vs. bold. Team mentality vs. lonerism. Bloodlust vs. a peace-loving villager mentality. ;)

Oops, I guess I should have said something. I started one also, but quickly ran out of relavent questions (for only playing two games, thats still... optimistic). I had Cunning, Debating ablity, and Covertness as the varibles, though it kind of gets complicated figuring out if a wolf has to be more covert compared to a seer. Theres a lot of opinion there, in my opinion. *hooks thumbs on suspender straps*

[Lhunardawen]

Roa, this is the time we yell "Fooooordiiiiim!" ;)

[Kath]

Pack Leader
You scored 85 pack mentality, 78 body strength, and 50 mental strength!

Hmm, I'd have put myself as pack member, but ok!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm a pack member. Totally average in every way.

52 mental strength? I'm sorry but how did you judge that? I feel somewhat offended. :p

[Diamond18]

52 mental strength? I'm sorry but how did you judge that? I feel somewhat offended. :p

Well Eomer I was only a 47% mental case, I mean, mental strength. So at least you're not at the bottom of the pack. :p

[Roa_Aoife]

Okay, I'm actually going to leave Mental strength/ intelligence off the quality list. Honestly, to be a good at anything in werewolf, even a villager, high intelligence and mental strength must be assumed.

So far I have Cunning, which means:

1. Marked by or given to artful subtlety and deceptiveness.
2. Executed with or exhibiting ingenuity

And Discernment, which means:

1. The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment.
2. Keenness of insight and judgment.

What's a third one? And then, what roles require which traits?

[Roa_Aoife]

I'm actually trying for three traits that are required by Wolves. So then, Wolf would have the highest scores in all three, whereas the others would be combinations of the other three, except for the role of the villager, which requires none of these. That said, what about adding confidence as the third trait?

Confidence-

1. A feeling of assurance, especially of self-assurance.
2. The state or quality of being certain.

[Roa_Aoife]

Wolf- High scores in Cunning, Discernment, and Confidence
Seer- High Scores in Cunning and Discernment
Hunter- High scores in Discernment and Confidence
Ranger- High Score in Discernment
Cobbler- High score in Cunning
Villager- low scores in all

[Diamond18]

I like the looks of that very much, Roa!

[Roa_Aoife]

Okay, now I just need ways to test these traits. Any ideas?

[Diamond18]

Not really.... Are you thinking of general life situation questions, or questions that pertain specifically to games of Werewolf?

[Formendacil]

Not really.... Are you thinking of general life situation questions, or questions that pertain specifically to games of Werewolf?

Real life situations are better, say I, since Werewolf-specific questions are too easily manipulated to achieve a desired result.

But, having never made a test myself, and this being Roa's project, I'll butt out now...

[Lhunardawen]

I'm not sure, but I think the Hunter should have a higher score for Confidence than the Ranger. After all, he/she's the one making a kill, and the decision for a huntee requires a lot of confidence. That's how I see it from my experiences, anyway.

[Roa_Aoife]

Please don't butt out Form- I put it here to get advice. This is the first quiz I've ever made, so I need some assistance with it.

Yes, I meant real-life situations, because I am a master manipulator of tests, and I know what's hardest to manipulate.

Lhuna, I know what you mean. I keep bouncing those two around in my mind, and I can't seem to decide which should be which.

I'm thinking I'll do the test in three sections, one to measure each trait.

[Formendacil]

Lhuna, I know what you mean. I keep bouncing those two around in my mind, and I can't seem to decide which should be which.

In that case...

I have to agree with my esteemed little sister- and not just because she is just that.

The Hunter, in my opinion, needs greater confidence, because his own life is on the line. This is particularly true during Daytime situations, when the Hunter's life is in danger. Sometimes, the Hunter will reveal himself to save his life, but sometimes it's too late for that- and there was at least one situation in which a Wolf masqueraded as a Hunter- and both were lynched.

A Ranger gets a new shot at getting it right every night, so I'd say that he has the easier task. The Hunter is an all-or-nothing.

However, having never played either Hunter or Ranger, I'm hardly in a position to say, now am I?

[Roa_Aoife]

Thou speakest sense....

Alright, I'll switch the two. I've gone back and edited my previous post to show this.

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

You may all now bow down before me.

Pack Leader

You scored 88 pack mentality, 78 body strength, and 88 mental strength!

These scores are DIVINE. You'd make an amazing wolf. You'd me able to make your pack an exceptionally great hunting team. As a great hunter, you'd be able to easily bring down your prey, and as a great leader, you'd be able to ensure that your pack lives happily. The ultimate wolf! This is my first test, so it would be nice if I could get some feedback, so please rate my test! Thanx!

Really got to find time to squeeze in another game of werewolf...

[Diamond18]

Well, Fordim, we do need more male players in LMP's Mega-TiG game -- check the TiG thread to see why. ;)
