Since hS's latest post - and an email correspondence with Tomash - reminded me that I am far from alone in remembering Deep Wizardry fondly:
The Song of the Twelve, a Personality Quiz planning document
^I give you this. Most of the writing already in the doc is mine, but okforthey set up the doc in the first place.
Any help is appreciated, from new questions to more (relevant) information on the Celebrants, and anything inbetween YOU think would help!
Dai Stiho, Cousins, and thanks in advance! -

So it's a personality quiz? by

It looks like you're expecting to have 12 options for each question, which sounds excessive. ;) Possibly a better way would be to plot all the celebrants on a 3-D graph (ie, give them 'scores' on three independent scales). You then assign values for some or all of the scales to each answer, and find the celebrant closest to the final averaged result.
Example: one axis would be how likely they are to be swayed by the Lone One's temptations. You'd place the Untouched at 0, the Undecided at, say, 5, and the Betrayed at 10. The Lone One Itself would be down at 15. Not sure about the Master Shark, you'd have to think about how he feels about death.
Then, for each question, you'd say how it affects that score. Taking what I think is the most interesting of your questions so far:
How do you relate 'friends' and 'fighting'?
-I fight for my friends. (2)
-I fight with my friends. (10)
-I fight about my friends. (5)
-I fight to control my friends. (12)
Other scales might include power, friendliness, how active a role they take... assuming those four, a statement like 'I fight to control my friends' might come out as (12 susceptability, -- power [ie, no value listed, ignore], 0 friendliness, 7 active).
You'd then average out the four scales after all the questions are answered, and see which celebrant comes closest to matching. How you did that would depend on what you were running it on, though...
On a related note: I shared this with the Board a year or two back, but I'm not sure you were around: I made Kaitlyn a Song of the Twelve scroll.

It includes all the text from the book (along with a header and footer you'll probably recognise ^_~). I was quite pleased with how it turned out.

Don't suppose you heard about its hotlinking issues? Apparently you'd have to upgrade and pay a ridiculous amount of money in order to link things to third-party websites.
Anyway, this sure is useful! ^^ Thanks for the advice!
(Also, this is a wording issue on my part, but I'd intended the 'with my friends' one to mean 'alongside.' ;) ) -
Aw, c'mon, I didn't even try and embed it! by

Photobucket, you and I are officially not talking anymore.
Imgur is my new bestie. >:(
(I was deliberately tweaking the answers so they could span a range of numbers. Not proposing that these be the One True Options or anything, they were just off the top of my head.)

/puts hands to cheeks/ THIS IS AMAZING AND YOU ARE AMAZING!
(That's fine! That's the thing with words - even when we try otherwise, they're always open to interpretation... :>)
