  3. Thank you for this. It is a rainy day and I finished spreading mulch in the rain. 8 bags! Sigh.

  7. Me too – knight of the order of merciful aid. I may need to rethink my wardrobe choices.

  8. Me love the Pack! Great quizz, thanks a lot for the fun and for the time it took you to do it.

    Laurence

  9. The Pack. This was super entertaining! Next… choose your own adventures 🙂

  11. Yeah, I got The Order…and I am not surprised :-). I knew where this was headed for me from the first question!

  13. it says the order, but because i am convinced I’m right i wouldn’t trust the order to be right

  29. I’m a shapeshifter. I don’t know what type of shifter I want to be: bouda or a cat.

  37. A Knight of the Merciful Aid. Unfortunately always convinced I am right. Life is difficult.

    I actually might skate a bit too much to be a knight — or shift into a bouda.

  50. I took the quiz 3 times because I was curious: I changed the answers that I was unsure about and…
    I always got the Order. I’m definitely a knight

  51. I’m a Knight in the Order which I think is hilarious because I don’t like to be told what to do. Were the People an option at all? Haha so far it seems the Order, PAD, the Pack, and the Coven were all choices. The Guild must also be an option too?

    • The People were an option. I played around a bit and got them and… okay, I can see that? Aptitude tested into a fucked up and coercive organization at an early age? Yeah, I can see that pretty easily, actually!

  54. Crikey!

    “You are a Knight of the Order of Merciful Aid. You’re disciplined, competent, and organized. You serve a higher purpose and you tend to take a rational approach to most problems. Your mission is simply to protect mankind, even if it means protecting it from itself. You are lethal, honorable, and, unfortunately, convinced that you are always right.”

  55. Knight of the order. Can I be like Andrea though?? A shapeshifter who’s also a Knight and then become Pack??

  56. I’m a member of The Guild. So I’ll probably be stabbing people in the back and drinking when I’m off duty.

  57. Coven, cool quiz, but the result was unexpected. Need to re-read the books now 🙂

  64. Hmm. Tried a second time selecting answers that were close ties, and got The Pack. “You are a shapeshifter of the Pack. Family is the most important thing to you. You don’t trust outsiders and while you’re fanatically loyal to your friends, you’re courageous and aggressive and emotions occasionally tend to get the better of you. You value loyalty, restraint, and courage above all.”

  71. I am a Knight. And I’m okay with it. We know Andrea and we knew Mauro. I admire both characters. Kate was partially raised by Greg Feldman and I even have a bit of admiration for Nick Feldman, who sacrificed his own identity for the greater good to only be betrayed by Moynihan. There may be issues in the order, but there are also a lot of good people in there too.

  72. Pack too. Odd. I hate people telling me what to do. I’d have to be high up or get killed for challenging the Alphas.

  73. The Order. Oh Why?? Like another reader, I have a dislike of authority. But I do believe in strong self discipline, doing the right thing and since I trained as a biologist, I have a firm belief in rationality and science. Shouldn’t I have ended up in Atlanta’s Biohazard Unit??

    • Same here. I thought it was odd at first but now it makes a bit more sense.

    • Same here! Biologists FTW! I think that maybe they didn’t create the biohazard unit as an option in the quiz, though. Perhaps they were thinking more in terms of the factions of power in Atlantan society? So the biohazard unit would be fairly minor and easily overlooked. I’d have loved to get that result though. I suppose they just group academics and intellectuals with the People.

      • Biohazard folks struck me as a pretty rough and ready bunch as far and intellectuals go – and that suits me just fine 🙂

        All in?

  74. Knight of Merciful Aid- I wouldn’t have picked it but….it does make sense for me….as long as I’m not a part of Ted’s Team!!

  76. The Pack, it fits perfectly but i would probably get into a lot of trouble cause I don’t mesh well with authority for the sake of authority

  80. The Pack
    You are a shapeshifter of the Pack. Family is the most important thing to you. You don’t trust outsiders and while you’re fanatically loyal to your friends, you’re courageous and aggressive and emotions occasionally tend to get the better of you. You value loyalty, restraint, and courage above all.

  81. OK here we go…
    Find Your Place Kate’s Atlanta
    The Order (not sure about this)

    You are a Knight of the Order of Merciful Aid. (ok thats cool) You’re disciplined (no), competent (kind of am), and organized (not at all). You serve a higher purpose (I try) and you tend to take a rational approach to most problems (true). Your mission is simply to protect mankind, even if it means protecting it from itself (can see myself doing that). You are lethal (no Im not), honorable (I try), and, unfortunately, convinced that you are always right (until Im proven wrong).

    So that was fun… now lets get to the important part last blog post by Ilona SHE reply MY comment that means that Im no more the pleb in the book devouring horde Im SPECIAL Im a member of the elite that was replied by authorlords YEEEAAAAAAA!!!

    Ps: pardon my french because my mother language is portuguese so I make mistakes writing english hehehe

      • first Im freaking now I live Brazil so I never meet any of my favorite authors (we have one local urban fantasy author) so I never get any contact in the conventions it’s so sad and this blog is only one of the ones I stalk I mean follow that an author answered me

        second is hard for me to type couse I have a mild dyslexia and even have studied english since childhood I make basic writing mistakes (god bless google translate editing function) so when the mighty ones find me worthy of replying that make it big

        thirdly being a 29 years old unemployed makes me by logic under pleb couse cant buy new books and have to borrow so since cant be part of the ones that say that are pre ordering (higher social class in the book devouring horde) being answered elevate me (in the book devouring horde) and just make me happy

        SO THANKS

    • Look at that Andre – you got another reply from the Authorlords!!! Made your day, huh!! ?

      You are doing fine, even though your mother language is Portuguese! I doubt I would do nearly as well if this was in a language other than English! So, you go Andre!! ??

  87. I’ll see your plug, plug, plug and raise you a buy, buy, buy, if you but give me a link to buy, buy, buy. Right now I’m stuck on please, please, please and where-is-it, where-is-it, where-is-it?

  92. I am apparently a Knight of The Order. I was hoping to get something more closely related to Kate, but this is strangely and unsettlingly bang on target.

  97. Knight of the Order-half honored, half wondering if I could be better ? Lol

  99. Ha, my personality must have changed. Last time I was a member of the Order, but this time I with the Covens, LOL!

  100. Cute quiz. It was fun and amusing. 😀 Thanks for posting it!

    PS Apparently I belong in The Order? Not entirely sure about that but … maybe. Except the whole racist … (specist?) thing. That would be a big issue. A deal breaker if I couldn’t find a clean niche in the organization to be in and to assist in changing that outlook.

  101. I got the Order. Tho, actually I’m pretty sure all that discipline would not really work for me… so maybe I could do Order Dropout. 🙂

  102. The Pack! “…emotions occasionally tend to get the better of you.” So true it hurts ?

    …now to play around with answers and see what else I get 😉

  103. Another Knight. On the one hand… okay, so I am in fact a member of a martial order. But, OMG, this is such a terrible idea ??? I could provide… well, I was going to say three, but probably rather more, references for people who have supervised me and who will explain that I’m not the best about following orders?* And I try to avoid deciding what is right for other people unless it’s in an emergency situation and we don’t have time to talk about it. I just don’t see this working out well (especially with the history of epic fights with my superiors when I didn’t think they were treating people well…) Maybe a cynical (or is that deranged) ex-knight now working for the PAD.

    * I mean, I get along well with all of them still, and most, maybe all, have put me into leadership positions.

  107. The Order? I can’t follow orders for toffee though I do like giving them…. oh heck perhaps a career change is on the cards 🙂

  111. Apparently I like to live hard and party hard as a cop in the Paranormal Activity Division …. maybe in my dreams ?

  116. The Pack…..whoot. Thank goodness I wasn’t in the People as i’m sciencey so it was possible. The Coven would have been cool too but I don’t mind getting a bit ticked and going furry…. I’m a vet after all so really the perfect place. Maybe I could help Dr Dolittle. ????????

  122. The Pack, to my surprise. Then again even if I’m not sure I’d be a good fit with the Pack, I’d fit worse in any of the other factions.

  125. I’m a knight ( but in my head I’m one of the originals before they lost their way)

  126. The first time I did it, I was a member of the People! ? Had to take it again in order to comment, and I must have changed an answer because it gave me a member of the Order.
    I am rational, analytical, and tend to think I’m right, so I’ll take the split decision.???

  132. The Pack. Figures, at social events you’ll always catch me talking to the host’s pets.

  133. You are a shapeshifter of the Pack. Family is the most important thing to you. You don’t trust outsiders and while you’re fanatically loyal to your friends, you’re courageous and aggressive and emotions occasionally tend to get the better of you. You value loyalty, restraint, and courage above all.

    Good quiz

  134. The PAD. I have a strong sense of right and wrong and tend to see things in black and white. So True

  138. I got the Order. Think I’m always right? Nope. I agree with the others who got the Order…I would rather be in the group before it went sideways, up the creek without the holy war paddle, and Hugh demolishing it. :p

    I want to be Andrea 2.0.

    • Me too. I figure it can’t be all bad so long as I get to hang out with Andrea and Mauro.

  140. I’m a Knight, of course I’m always right. Sometimes you just have to save people from themselves. Muh…hahahahahahaha…..now where did I put my sword and shield?

  143. #teampack because shifters rule. Scrolling through the comments, I think we’re the biggest group. And obviously the best.

    • From the newer posts, it’s looking like a split between the Pack and the Order (ugh! Can those of us in the Order ignore Nick?!)

      There are those who are in the Guild, the Coven, and the People, but the majority is either Pack or the Order.

  152. I am one of the People :))
    “most problems can be resolved through application of reason, money, or a vampire” – can’t argue with that 😀

  155. Pack. Have to go back and check answers and click the ones that were soooo close it was hard to be sure.

    • Also Order. I don’t know about the “always being right” part though. I’m wrong all the time. 🙂

      • True, it seems to surprise people when I tell them that I might be wrong about something and that I need to double check it.

  158. I’m a member of the covens! I always thought I would make a kick ass witch

  163. I got pack, but there were several questions where I could have gone one way or the other. I’m going to have to take this multiple times to see what my alternate choices would have gotten me.

  166. Wait, what! 6/26!

    Where can I buy? I can’t find it anywhere… plugs are less effective when you won’t take my money now!

    🙂

    • me toooooo!!!! kindle australia still doesn’t have it showing for pre-order. Nor do they have the novella for November. I want to spend money!!!

  168. Bwahahaha, a Knight of the Merciful Order. Oh dear, when reading Kate’s books I always have a powerful urge to reach out and smack my boss, aka Nick, lol

  172. The Order

    You are a Knight of the Order of Merciful Aid. You’re disciplined, competent, and organized. You serve a higher purpose and you tend to take a rational approach to most problems. Your mission is simply to protect mankind, even if it means protecting it from itself. You are lethal, honorable, and, unfortunately, convinced that you are always right.

    Seems legit, in an if – the – system – doesn’t – work – I’ll – blow – it – up – and – make – it – great way!

      • Isn’t that what Ted tried to do before Hugh skewered him while Kate and Nick watched? Um…as I said in my post, I want to be Andrea 2.0. 😀

  176. Member of the Pack! I like furry things but don’t want to turn into one. Maybe I will just be a nice human among the shapeshifter members. Friends of The Pack. Aha.

  180. Welcome to my rigid little world! I got order.

    I like to think I’m not THAT inflexible. And I know I’m only right SOME of the time!

  188. Knight of the order. Hmmmmm. . . . Fun. Thanks. Have already pre-ordered!!! And planned the day off to read it without stopping.

  190. Knight of the order . I like my answers , but may do it again . Always wanted to be a witch .
    And I never think that I am always right, because I am frequently wrong. I tend to either be insightful or oblivious.
    Thanks for the quiz. When did you have the time to even create the quiz?

  195. It looks like I am a Pack member! My chinese astrology year is tiger and I sometimes think lying somewhere in the shade, getting a dip in the river, if it gets too warm, getting my butt in gear when I am hungry and totally going nuclear when someone is threatening my kid fits my personality just fine! Lol, thanks for the quiz! Have a great day and greets from switzerland! Inga

  204. I thought I would switch my answers up a bit and try again since so many could go more than one way. I went from the Order to the PAD. LOL I guess I just can’t get away from the fact that I have a badge.

    You are a cop of the Paranormal Activity Division. You have a strong sense of right and wrong and tend to see the world in black-and-white. The laws are there for a reason and you make sure that they stay in place. You live hard and party hard because you never know when you have to put yourself between a crazed maniac armed with a fireball and a random citizen who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  211. I am a … Knight of the Order of Merciful Aid! Didn’t see that coming 🙂

  212. First time thru, I was The Order. That was unacceptable. So I ran it again and now I’m the Covens. That works.

    • I ran my answers again, and I got the Pack. ? Much better than my first try which was the Order. ?

    • Me too!

      The Pack
      You are a shapeshifter of the Pack. Family is the most important thing to you. You don’t trust outsiders and while you’re fanatically loyal to your friends, you’re courageous and aggressive and emotions occasionally tend to get the better of you. You value loyalty, restraint, and courage above all.

  214. The Pack! Awesome! I have limited survival skills so I hope they can keep me alive long enough to teach me something useful.

  217. I got:
    You are a Knight of the Order of Merciful Aid. You’re disciplined, competent, and organized. You serve a higher purpose and you tend to take a rational approach to most problems. Your mission is simply to protect mankind, even if it means protecting it from itself. You are lethal, honorable, and, unfortunately, convinced that you are always right.
    And couldn’t stop laughing about the lethal and always right bits. So true. Whoever wrote the algorithm for that quiz, please give them my sincere compliments. Absolutely nailed me!

  234. Took the quiz multiple times. I’m either a witch or a merc! My son is a witch and my daughter is a knight of the order. Now I need to get my husband to take the quiz.

    Was expecting Innkeeper but the quiz was fun too!

  235. I was hoping g for the Pack but got the Order. :-/ If they won’t take great souls like Andrea, I think I’d dip on them like Kate. 😛

    • My second try gave me Pack status.! YEAH! I guess the order found out I go furry sometimes so I traded up. 😉

      • I wonder what would happen if a few shapeshifters were piloting vampires on the DL…

  238. Pack. Huh. I would want to be recruited just because that wolf looks so majestic.

  239. The Coven!
    You are a witch of the Covens. You believe in balance: for every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction. He who disrupts the harmony of the world will get his comeuppance one way or another. You’re independent and comfortable in your own skin, you live and let live, and you look to nature for guidance in resolving your problems.

  246. Order. Wish I could be Pack. Or coven. But changes need to be made at the Order and I’m ready and willing to do it!

  252. The most important class isn’t even on the list.

    Sincerely,

    Unappreciated English teacher 😉

  259. I thought the plug for Iron and Magic might mean an Amazon pre-sale, but I could not locate the book. Is it being sold elsewhere? Or maybe the pré-sale starts on 6/26?

  269. The Order, didn’t like that so I took it again, same result. I am a little concerned.

  270. You are a Knight of the Order of Merciful Aid. You’re disciplined, competent, and organized. You serve a higher purpose and you tend to take a rational approach to most problems. Your mission is simply to protect mankind, even if it means protecting it from itself. You are lethal, honorable, and, unfortunately, convinced that you are always right.

    Well I guess I am in good company then….

    • I got Order.

      I filled this out while at the Atlanta airport while waiting in line to speak with someone at the gate while freaking out that I would miss my connecting flight and not get home until Saturday or Sunday. It is after midnight, so it is Friday, but I made it home. A small distraction is totally awesome.

  274. The Order — the part of the description that is most convincing is the part about being convinced that I’m always right!

    • Same thing for me. I was kind of upset about The Order, and then I read this line. I’m like – ok, this I totally deserve:)))

  280. I’m in the Order of Merciful Aid.
    I’m trying to remember – I think I was Pack last time I did this – I wonder what has changed in my life or my mood that my answers are different?

  282. I also got the Order. Never would have guessed. I do like to be right, sooooo…..

  286. When I took the test years ago, I was placed in the Coven. Took it today and…I’m still in the Coven.

  290. I got the order. A bit of a surprise there….but since I’m always right :P….. and I actually have a job working for the greater good the people of a small suburbian town and its city council, it actually makes some unexpected sense. 🙂

  294. Err the People which seems accurate except Roland seems like a dangerous boss and I’m not fond of casinos. I suppose there isn’t a faction for moral but ethically ambiguous people who know to stay the hell away from Roland but also like fine wine, well-made clothing, large libraries, graduate degrees, structured organizations and pet armies . . .

    • The People aren’t fond of casinos, either, I suspect, but it’s an efficient way to get funds and the large number of civilians is a useful shield against attack in the chaos of the post-technology world.

  296. Hey uh would everyone who tested into the People like to get together for a little erm . . . therapy sesh (definitely not a meeting to plan world domination/bank takeovers) . . .

    • I had a boss like Roland once. It was at a bank. Actually it totally was like the people. OMG! Yes I would like to plan world domination and to take it over…

  297. You are a Knight of the Order of Merciful Aid. You’re disciplined, competent, and organized. You serve a higher purpose and you tend to take a rational approach to most problems. Your mission is simply to protect mankind, even if it means protecting it from itself. You are lethal, honorable, and, unfortunately, convinced that you are always right.

    Eh, I’m not at all disciplined and rational and prefer harmony over being right. Will try again…

  300. First round The Order.
    Second round The Pack.
    I only changed two answers. So I don’t know which is worse. That I was originally part of the Order, or that The Order and The Park are so similar in this questionnaire.

  302. Surprising to myself—The Guild. hahaha guess i’m not as compassionate and thoughtful of my fellow worldmates as I thought. *giggle-snort*

  308. Gosh that was fun, and surprisingly accurate! Thank you Authorlords! 😀
    You are a shapeshifter of the Pack. Family is the most important thing to you. You don’t trust outsiders and while you’re fanatically loyal to your friends, you’re courageous and aggressive and emotions occasionally tend to get the better of you. You value loyalty, restraint, and courage above all.

  310. It says I’m a knight of the order, even though I am none of those things…..

  313. I am a witch of the covens, what I really mean that I am the witch of the covens i.e like Evdokia. She is badass- powerful, and compassionate. Being in the pack would have been cool, more men but I’ll just have to settle having a humongous turtle and be a cranky bitch when I am the crone.

  323. I got the shapeshifter of the Pack. Yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!! I always wanna be one!!
    (>’-‘)> <('-'’-‘)> (^-^)

  325. Huh. I’m a coven witch. Not so bad. I’m guessing it’s based largely on question 2, though, and that one had no option for not being confrontational but hiding and making many notes so you can report it to the proper authorities later. I had to settle for poison ☠️.

  333. I knew I was a shapeshifter at heart and this just confirmed it. Thanks a bunch ?

  337. A Knight of the Order, “disciplined, competent, and organized”. Whew, I picked some wrong choices there, in that case.

  342. The Pack? And I was so sure the strick and only one place on and the spot will drive me crazy. 😀

  343. This is awesome! Love to find my place; thought it would be different, but went with my heart!

  344. Find Your Place Kate’s Atlanta
    The Pack

    You are a shapeshifter of the Pack. Family is the most important thing to you. You don’t trust outsiders and while you’re fanatically loyal to your friends, you’re courageous and aggressive and emotions occasionally tend to get the better of you. You value loyalty, restraint, and courage above all.

  346. I’m a witch of the coven. With great power comes great responsibility. I’ll take it!

  348. Is Iron and Magic not on preorder? I just went to reserve my kindle copy on Amazon and, weirdly, even though “Iron and Magic Ilona Andrews” pops up on the search screen as soon as I type “Iron and M” there’s no page or result for the book. I think maybe there’s a glitch this morning (7:10 am Eastern)!

  351. The Order. Sadly “think I’m always right” is one of my character flaws! And I’m right to have identified that it is my character flaw and secretly think that’s okay because I really am right most of the time.
    Yep, I’m in the Order.
    But envy you cool Coven and Pack people!

    • I’m in the Order too! Which I can totally see- for the same reason I loved playing a paladin following St. Cuthbert in DnD, lol.

    • I found the answers kind of limiting and I thought I would be Coven but it says Order…

  353. First did this quiz back in 2011 and without looking to see what I got then, did the quiz and got Pack. Checked & got Pack back then as well. So it must be true????? LOL

  356. I got the Pack!
    I’m not surprised about that tho, family is my number one priority. lol
    Fun time!

  357. The Order!

    🙂

    I’m not always disciplined or competent but surely I’m always right! :))))

  359. The Pack. I think I would be it’s first vegan member. Dali and I can hang out together 🙂

  361. The pack. Made sense as family is the most important thing to me, and I am fiercely loyal. Fun quiz! ?

    • Well, without Language Arts, you wouldn’t have been able to read & take the quiz, or post your comment. More importantly you would not be able to read and enjoy the Authorlords fantastic books. ? Sorry, retired teacher here (not of LA, but Science and Math), and could not stop myself from responding to the idea that there are no useful subjects in school! Gave me the heebee geebees!?

    • I’m in PAD too. Wow, I didn’t think I was that much of a law and order sort. I’ve always felt good laws are worth following but not all laws are good ones so one must decide if the consequences are worth breaking the bad laws.

      • Well I’m on the PAD TEAM!! I really wanted to be an employee at Cutting Edge but I don’t think it’s a category. So Ladies, “LET’S GEAR UP”!!!

  365. The Coven

    “She’s a witch! Burn her!”
    “I’m not a witch! This nose isn’t even real!”

  367. I belong in the covens 🙂 (and yep pretty sure that’s where I’d be) Thanks for the fun

  368. The Order! Wanted to be Pack but mustn’t be family oriented enough! Ah well, at least I would have a place there!

  371. I got the Order. I just really don’t think I would work well in the structure.

    • Order … yesterday. But I re-did it today and got the Pack, so may be in the border area …

      • Yeah, I share your concerns about the structure … and I really would not do well with people like Ted and Shayne … I shared Kate’s views.

  373. Did the quiz twice – got The Order both times, so…I guess it’s definitely The Order for me. *sigh*
    But I’m trrrrrrying not to be a judgmental asshole who insists on being right!

  374. I got The Order! Most likely cuz I pulled my sword and asked the robber what he thought he was doing…

  377. You are a mercenary of the Guild. Life is hard, but you’re harder. You tend to look out for number one. You risk your hide to provide for you and yours, you work hard, and you don’t let anyone get the better of you. When you take a job, you get it done, but you always keep your eyes on the prize and if it gets too nasty, you aren’t above walking away from the whole thing.

    I’m not even sure if this is me or not, but it’s funny. Wonder if I can take it again.

  383. Order…..and I have to say, i’m kind of bummed about it but it does fit…ha

  385. The Order, which is sad. My IRL has been more Coven or mercenary. Wondering now if I missed my true calling?

  388. Well, I got pack! Kind of surprised me cause I thought I’d get Guild. But then, family is my priority. What did you guys get?

  389. Pack.

    I’m guessing if I took this in 20 years, when all of my kids will be grown and (pleasegodplease) out of the house, the answer would likely come back different, lol.

  391. The Order. I’ll go along with the description until it gets to being convinced that I’m always right. I know better than that.

  392. The Order!! Are we serious? They’d throw me out on my ear in the first 24. Then again, I didn’t fudge on the answers. That’s pretty much me. And it could explain why 2 of the police chiefs I worked for said I was scary. Well, learned something today.

  393. Im with the people ?!?!? I dont want to pilot vampires ?????

    And i noticed nobody has been categorized there yet, tut tut

    • 😀 At least you’re unique! Roland will be calling soon to pay your debts and start using your powers lol.

  394. I did it the other day and got Order first. Well that broke my heart- sure I like the law, but I am in no way those horrible stuck up obsessed fu…ehm, people. I did it again today, and YAY! Pack. As it SHOULD be. Phew.

  396. ? I got the people

    I would have never expected that. I always figured I would be part of the pack.

  397. Surprised at being a order member. That’s ok, I fancy myself more like Andrea, fighting for a greater cause –but not afraid to blow your brains out. 🙂

  409. OK, those of us in the Order who think we really can’t be that rigid-let’s start a subversive group within the Order to bring a little fun to the stuffed shirts. er stuffed armor. I’ll bring home brew, lots of food with bacon, and a big bag of chocolate. Let the fun begin.

    • I’m apparently in the Order too.

      I’ll bring the party games – Exploding Kittens, Joking Hazard and Cards Against Humanity. And tacos…

      • I think being competent and practical is a good thing. I can live with it. Also, in the school subjects listed, there was no provision for artists. I think that would have changed things a bit.

    • got the order too. i am truly boring, but i will bring whiskey, cupcakes, and snacks. 😀

    • First time around I got the Order. How about kicking Nick out? That would subvert any boring or stuffed armor. Kate would wonder about the revolt. 😀

      Second time I got the Pack.

    • Haha, I got the order too. And I mean, I don’t wan to like it, but I am also a rule-follower. I’d like to think I am more of an Andrea than a Nick!

    • The Order? Really? I don’t want to be in the Order either. I want to be in the pack. Maybe I can retake the test a few times to change the results. Unfortunately, I think that my first answers were good ones. Furry love is furry love and pedigrees don’t matter. You buy a good car for a good price and then, taking care of it the whole time, you drive it until the wheels fall off from old age because a shiny car does not get you there any faster than a rust one. When you give a party, it is about people, not stuff. And there is a right and a wrong for every part of life. Why can’t that attitude be in a pack?

      • I took the damn thing three times, changing answers each time except for the few non-negotiable ones, and got the Order every time. I do not get it. Disciplined and organized WTF? Talk to my family!

  416. Where will we be able to buy Iron and Magic? I can’t find it on either Barnes & Noble or Amazon.

  427. I’m a mecernary of the Guild. Yikes! I thought I was answering the way Kate would.

    • Ok. Now I’m a Knight of the Order. Having answered the questions from my point of view.

  433. Am I dual-natured or just aging into my authentic self? Or, am I just kidding myself? LoL. Those questions alone might predict that I’m a witch. Earth & Elements all the way. But in my younger days, I would just have easily landed in the Order. I’ve always been a protector/nurturer of life and prefer animals to people, typically. The big differentiators now are balance and harmony, at ease in my skin, and poison the cheating bastard. Well, that would go for womem, too, not just the guys. Balance. LoL!!!

  438. Interesting. The Order? No freaking way. They’re much too rigid. Given a choice I’d go for The Coven.

  439. The Pack. You are a shapeshifter of the Pack. Family is the most important thing to you. You don’t trust outsiders and while you’re fanatically loyal to your friends, you’re courageous and aggressive and emotions occasionally tend to get the better of you. You value loyalty, restraint, and courage above all.

  441. Interesting this time I ended up as pack the last quiz had me as one of the People. I suspect I sit somewhere in the middle. Practical and fond of logic but adore my cats and I am loyal to my family. Does the pack have an engineering division?

  443. Coven – and I’m happy with the option…so many ways to get even, so much freedom, can be good or bad, whatevs 🙂

  447. A knight of the Order and yeah I can see it lol, except for the bigotry. I will strive for change from within.

  448. PAD!!! Eeeeekkkkk Its a rigged game. Jeez I am so depressed. Really? PAD? sigh…. Law and Order baby!

    • Ditto! I’ll happily wear disciplined, organized and rational …but the “I’m right at all costs” just won’t do … dang it! I may be depressed …

  455. A Knight of The Order, although the only way I got my designation was to answer 4 questions that don’t apply to me. For example, I would never throw a party and have booze at it. I would call a cop if I saw a burglar, because the last time I confronted someone with my sward, he grabbed it and broke it over his knee (plastic has some good uses, but not for swards). And my perfect pets are my big silk trees. You can leave them alone in the house for days at a time, they don’t need to be fed, or walked, they don’t create a mess (just dust them now and again), they provide comfort just by being there, and they never judge or demand attention.
    P.S. It’s Friday, so Refresh…Refresh… Refresh…and like the man said, “Dude, Where’s My Krahr?”

  457. Had a hard time choosing as some of the answers don’t fit me. 1st go round I got the Order and then, after changing the answers that didn’t really apply to me, got The Pack. Evidently I prefer some structure in my family.

  458. I’m a pack member. It is all about family, and our 4th of July party is renowned 😉

  459. I have NO idea how I ended up in the Order! I was thinking I would end up in the pack. I’ve got to retake it!

    • I got the pack, it was only two questions off…two that I had debated the answers. I must be in the grey area between the two.

  460. Knight of the order — but I think that’s because I can’t put in my real answers, which are as follows:
    1. Laws must be obeyed as long as they don’t conflict with higher law.
    2. Guy breaking into the store – sneak up behind him and cosh him over the head. Punching in the face loses element of surprise.
    3. You see your best friend’s spouse making out with another person. Answer: none of the above. Walk over, greet them pleasantly and introduce yourself as friend of the spouse – wait for response.
    4. When deciding to take a job: (descending order) (this is not a pick one kind of question)
    a. Is it legal
    b. Does it pay well
    c. What are the consequences
    d. Is it intellectually stimulating
    e. Will it benefit my family
    f. Will it benefit the world
    5. When throwing a party, I provide a room, some food, and all else is BYoB – but moderation is encouraged, and Everclear and koolaid will get you invited out – as will anything illegal.
    6. The perfect pet is anything with fur and enough intellect to respond to attention.
    7. Favorite computer game is building sims, but MMORP is ok too – especially with witty friends — or, in other words, role playing the game makers didn’t plan.
    8. Most useful subject in school is reading – all else follows from there. (And you didn’t list it.)
    9. A parent must provide ways for a child to develop, and provide a reasonably safe space to do it in.
    10. Favorite car – starts when you turn the key, goes from point A to point B, and has plenty of room to haul people and stuff.

      • I agree that reading should be an option for #8!! I would have definitely picked literacy.

    • O K
      Hello!
      NOT your world
      your choices come from being in a place you know about; but don’t know
      NOT your reality
      but they are your choice; pick the one that will let you get to be your best you
      #8 If you couldn’t read . . . you would NOT have been able to participate O K, Hello

      just saying, cause it was hard choosing, when it wasn’t me

      • Thank you for your thoughtful reply. It deserves a thoughtful response in return.

        Not my world? Well, only when I’m not reading the books. One of the beautiful parts about reading is that it has two parts (just like any art form): 1.) the part where the author(s) created the world and wrote about the parts they know, and 2) the part where the reader’s active imagination participates in the story.

        #8. Now, do note that Kate values literacy and other learning because she made every effort to get Julia into school. #9. Kate does loves her adopted daughter, and does her best to make the world safe for her. It’s hard, just like it is hard for any parent.

        #10. Kate’s favorite mount is a mule. Sensible.

        #5. That is from personal experience. I don’t recall Kate throwing a lot of parties, just attending more or less hostile Pack events.

        #4. You know Kate takes the jobs she can get…little old ladies off telephone poles, yucky things that throw up on her boots — not everything is about saving the world.

        #3. Probably not Kate’s approach, but I can see Barabas doing it.

        #2. Punching in the face is a big predators response — Curran maybe. But if you are a Rat, say, it’s a mistake — especially if you are only getting in one blow.

        #1. Laws are usually in place for a reason. The kind that keeps you from running over people on crosswalks or keeps you from getting killed because you went outside the compound or visited Unicorn Lane at night. ONLY the ones that violate Higher Law (which sadly do occur) need to be broken.

        AND what’s the fun of sticking to the format for a favorite world? For the time I am reading, the book is my reality — so much more fun to be there than in the real world. Escapism? OH, you bet!

        And, just for the record, I’m glad you love the books, too. Your response clearly shows that.

  465. The Order. … *forehead slap*
    um…. this sucks. I seriously need to investigate my current view of life affairs.

    It’s May! And Friday! refresh…. refresh….refresh………refresh…… wait a bit….. refresh……

  466. Roland. Although I was really trying for Arra.

    No, not really.

    Just a loyal member of the pack.

  470. The Pack <3

    So Happy About it!
    But I want to be Alpha of the Big Cats <3 Like Jim

  475. Got the Pack, who are very cool, but I wondered if I was on the edge of something else. So, I went back and changed one answer and got the Coven. Went back and changed a different singe answer and got the Order. As suspected, I am very in between many things.

  477. The Covens. I am now debating if it’s worth posting on social media, due to… Ah, well, suffice to say I have a fair number of FB associates who would spin that as further “proof” I’m apostate. I’m not in a position to have fun with that atm.

    Fun quiz, though! 🙂

    • Apostate? Hhmmm I can think of some people in my life who might use that word for me ?

  482. That was fun. But if I’m going to be a shape shifter of the pack,I want to be a fire-breathing dragon please.

  483. The People! I can’t believe more people haven’t gotten that yet. I keep scrolling and don’t see anyone. Sweet!

    • Dude you are the first person I saw who got the people maybe it just means your special. In a good way I’m sure

      • 1st the People, then the Pack, then the Pad. Finally the Covens? I agree, every answer I clicked had nothing in common with any other. I ended up with the three Ps and a coven. Why would driving a muscle car be in any of these? I think I might be Andrea. And I agree we really need reading.

  484. I got placed in the guild but I don’t necessarily think I’m tough enough to survive there. I’m good at calculating but not executing.

  485. Pack –

    But i suspect its because i have a weak spot for all the furry critters and answered those 2 questions accordingly.

  486. I’m a Knight of the Order of Merciful Aid. But only if I’m the one giving the orders 🙂

  488. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo breathe oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

    Me, when I didn’t see a Maud chapter in the blog, after the morning from hell.

    Also me, after taking the quiz and finding out I’m a member of the Order.

  489. Oh dear …. I’m in the Order.

    Maybe I should have picked MMO RGP instead of RP? 😛
