> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > A woman of high standards, indeed. > > Okay, now I have to see what I have to answer to get “Nemesis.” 😃 You have to get negative results in both Pervosity and Personality. How to get those results is up to you. :rolleyes: I suppose I can post the math behind the questions and their answers later, when I’ve started working on a new test… which you can all help me with! Hopefully I won’t fuck it up again. ---

> [@Oni no Maggie](#): > > I remember it was 0% in personality, pretty high in perviosity, 0 in dealbreakers (now that you changed it), and ummm I forget the rest. I think the problem might be that 0. I MIGHT have it set so that the requirements for getting any of the results is “Greater than 0,” meaning I failed to anticipate people breaking dead even. Such an obvious mistake. Lol, I feel stupid. But if you scored high Submissility, high Pervosity and low Personality the result is “Drone,” which is the same as “Slave.” I think you can see the difference on your own. ---

> [@Oni no Maggie](#): > > Aha. 0,8,5,0 If I’m reading that as Personality, Pervosity, Submissility and Disqualifiers, then yes, your result should be “Drone.” The reason it isn’t is because of that fucking zero.

Thanks, also. I’ve got a couple pictures from a recent trip that I’ll add to the Photos section once I get them developed. However, since I’m still taking pictures that have to be developed, that profile may be about as jazzy as I get. ---

OK, I’ve come up with a better test in a notepad document. There are now ten (detailed!) questions for each category. What’s more, there’s the same number of points available for each category and it’s based on a percent. But I want to catch as many of the problems as I can before I upload this sucker. My problem is thus: I have all the results typed up, but what seemed to happen last time was I didn’t have all my bases covered. But when I look at the following stuff, it just pops out at me as a wall of text. Maybe one of you guys can tell me if there is a variable combination that ISN’T covered by the results I have. [spoiler]There are variables A, B and C. Result 1: A \<25% LOW B \<25% LOW C \<25% LOW Result 2: A \>25% MIDDLE TO HIGH B \<25% LOW C \<25% LOW Result 3: A \>25% \<75% MIDDLE B \>25% MIDDLE TO HIGH C \<25% LOW Result 4: A \>25% MIDDLE TO HIGH B \>25% MIDDLE TO HIGH C \>25% \<75% MIDDLE Result 5: A \<25% LOW B \>25% MIDDLE TO HIGH C \>75% HIGH Result 6: A \<25% LOW B \<25% LOW C \>25% MIDDLE TO HIGH Result 7: A \<25% LOW B \>25% MIDDLE TO HIGH C \<25% LOW Result 8: A \>25% \<75% MIDDLE B \>25% MIDDLE TO HIGH C \>75% HIGH[/spoiler]Is there any possible combination of percentages that would fall through the cracks that I’m not seeing? Are any of these results redundant? ---

Also, didn’t bother mentioning it but there’s currently a 9th result, as well. It’s the “You fucked up!” result for people who hit a disqualifier. Not going to try to be clever in the same way I did with the last test and keep each question to only addressing one variable (example: in the last test, saying that you are a practicing Christian would get you negative personality points but positive submissive points. Lul. I’m a charmer). ---

All right, my little test-takers. I’ve got Version 2.0 up right [HERE](http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/nick-suitability-guide). I think you’ll agree that it’s far superior to the original. Please let me know if you find any problems with it.
