Huh. There wasn't any question about whether you a) already belong to Rat Army, b) are a Rat, or c) think that Rat Army is the coolest. And yet, I got Rat Army anyway. I don't know about anyone else, but that test pegged me, at least in my preference for Rat Army.

Not that a mere pluralality means anything, but it seems pretty clear that Rat is the best army.

Dragon (but the commander won't give me my own 'toon -- he says since I'm 6'6", 295 lbs, and 34 years old I look funny in a combat suit made for a child. I think I look powerful sexy!)

Deep, thoughtful and rebellious. You don't like following orders mindlessly. You give good thought to things before doing them, and exclusively do things according to your own strong beliefs. You like having your own opinion about everything, even if it's not your superior's.
I enjoyed the quiz and my result, rniss, but when I read all the descriptions, I found the descriptions of Salamander and Badger army kind of harsh. Nobody would like to be told by a quiz that they are unintelligent jerks. (Assuming you care what I think) I would suggest thinking about how Madrid and Slatteri would perceive themselves. Surely they don't tell themselves they are bullies or less capable. Their descriptions should match how they would describe their virtues. That's my 2ยข.

I think there's room in this world for people to rejoice in their own evilness. But that's probably just me. I bet other people don't like to do that very much.

Cold, calm, smart and powerful. You are used to success and to getting everything you want by your own means. You know when to trust others and many people is willing to follow you. You are an influent person in your friend's opinions and actions.

Hi there, sorry if for some people their result could sound like a fortune cookie. I'm perfectly aware of that, it's just that it's quite difficult to make it fit everybody. And there's always someone who won't fit at all.
About some descriptions being offensive... well... this quizz is meant just for fun, and few people (having read the book) are going to answer "Yes, I'm a bully" unless they WANT to get Bonzo Madrid. I really mean no harm.
About Slatteri... I've changed it. Mainly because very little information about him is given and I prefered someone utterly unknown. I know Spider army is not faithful to the book, but it's a way to express that there might be obscure yet brilliant armies. I think that a very positive thing, not offensive at all.
Above all, thanks for giving the quiz a chance and enjoying it. I'd love people to rate it, because I want an Ender's game quiz to stand out of all those "what kind of girlfriend are you?" quizzes and mindless shit like that.

I'm insulted by the stereotypical Salamander results. You do realize that there was a Salamandar Army before there was a Bonzo Madrid? It doesn't HAVE to be associated with a jerk like Bonzo. Via Virtual Battle School, I am the present commander of Salamander. And us Salamanders aren't jerks in any way.
Edit: I'm in Phoenix, by the way. I almost commanded Phoenix.

The quiz, I'm sure, is about these armies as they appeared in the events of Ender's Game. What they were before or after is irrelevant, don't you think?

Well, yeah, the quiz refers only to the commanders during Ender's game. I know. I could actually imagine a past or a future for them, but you'd probably try to hang me. XD And I swear I haven't got anything against the current Salamander army.
By the way, would't it be fun to know what OSC himself got as his result (obviously if he actually took the quiz)?
[that's a direct question, sir]
Thanks again for helping me
