So, I re-took it; and came up with: "You are a fighter!"
apparently I scored a 89% in combativeness, which was waaaay over on the right side of the bell curve. (*higher than 98% of my peers!)
I fell just above the median for Sneakiness, a squish below the median on intellect, and a little over the median for spirituality. 
So: no prestige class for me. I'm just simple violence, personified.

This was their blurb:
"

Good at hitting things and with a definite violent streak; you are a Fighter!
Fighters are the basic martial combatants in D&D. Their abilities and skills vary wildly between individuals, but they all share one thing in common: a definite preference for violence.
You're either really defensive, have an unhealthy fascination with sharp objects... or you just like hurting people. Either way, you should probably try and keep your cool. Being able to hack someone into pieces maybe a useful skill in most RPGs, but in real life it will just get you into trouble.

"

hmm... just get me into trouble? And here I thought my aggression did a decent job of getting me out of the trouble I find myself in for totally no fault of my own... LOL.

Then again, maybe I'm still keyed up after an especially violent weekend in my 'day job'? Or maybe my employment is an environment that encourages a violent mindset?
... or maybe I'm just more violent than the average computer geek that finds their way to a website about D&D quizzes? by like: a whole lot?

perhaps I should get a sign made? Or a T-shirt? Something along the lines of: "Beware of owner: prone to violent solutions to complex problems."

[Ruski]

Caution:
I solve complex problems violently.
...with violence? ....
Seems like there should be a good way to say that...

I like the slogan:
"Beware of owner:
  Prone to violent solutions of complex problems."

It's simple, concise, and witty.

Also, knowing you, I'm surprised that you scored that lowly on Intellect, considering that A) You have a relative that went to MIT at 15, B) A full third of your family are actual card-carrying members of MENSA, and C) You read more than almost anyone I know.

Your current job and related violence notwithstanding, you're still one of the smartest people that I know; and I do know some smart people.

*shrug* I'm old enough and comfortable enough that I don't need to be the smartest person in the room to feel good about myself. And: seeing as how I have spent time in the same room as 'true' genius: i.e. a dude that anc calculate 7 to the seventh power without a calculator   , and without pause... yea: I'm okay being dumb. :-)

I think the major shortfall of those quizes is the desire to appease the ID of everyone that takes the test.
Everyone wants to be special, a prestiege class that is all the things that they personally are good at.
And: not to steriotype, but a lot of internet deziens think their God's gift to intellect. So: my guess, that survey is set to make a lot of wizzards, who never get into fights in real life.
And really: a life of not fighting? That should be admired. Just happens to be a path I can't walk myself.

My friend took it in character, then as ooc, and got two divergent answers (spellsword/cleric) so I thought I'd try that.  As myself I got the Arcane Trickster as I said

Brilliant and sneaky: You are an Arcane Trickster!
Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you've fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you're an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn't.
Arcane Tricksters combine arcane magic with rogue skills and sensibilities. They use their magic to confuse their opponents or to augment their more mundane, roguish skills. If you thought it was annoying keeping an eye that that rogue, the Arcane Trickster is probably picking your pocket from the other side of the room.
Both smart and sneaky, you're probably the type of person that loves planning practical jokes... either that or knocking over banks.

In character I didn't get me a prestige class and was lower on the Intellect scale and higher on the Combativeness scale:

Dashing and multi-talented: You are a Bard!
A decent warriors, reasonable spell-caster, and fairly good at tricking people, the Bard is the jack of all trades. These charming fellows live by their wits, though a sharp blade, a few spells, and some lock picks never hurt.
Smart, sneaky, and aggressive, you're probably good at most things you try. You don't have much need for spirituality or superstition and are much more likely to live in the here and now... and if you can get some fun and profit out of the here and now, even better.

Funny thing is I have never actually played either of these character classes

I'm pretty sure those rules are for pesky mere mortals, not Our Lady of Drones.

Also, please no nipple drones, I promise I actually worked on the stained glass thing for like fifteen whole minutes!

Ooooh, nipple drones.  Hadn't thought of that

Just had some time and dropped in is all.  Is there a reason the board looks all fracked up?  It's like in safe mode or something, certainly not the skin I gave it.  Anyone else getting this weird grey look? Can't even find most of the controls.

If this is a new default or something I have to vote NO.

Hi Zone!

Probably just a theme issue, are you able to change it at all when you go to your profile page?

[Zone]

Non-issue since it seems to be all better today Ingo, ta very much

It's quiet... a little too quiet...

Hey I just edited my post in SR5 now that I have had time to figure out what was going on and read Storm Front.  Also I just figured with con season followed with HOliday season folks just busy.
