I got:
More Open than Specialized.
More Headstrong than Flexible.
More Knowledgeable than Innocent.
More Isolationist than Intervening.
More Harmonious than Utilitarian.
Closest Yukari and runner-up Sumireko (!?)
It's been this way for a while, and yeah, my answer's changed since the last version of the test. Not that I'm not happy with the result but being lumped in alongside Yukari does give me this weird sense of responsibility...
Hi, hello, it's me. The creator of this Buzzfeed quiz. I used to check this thread more often from time to time, but now I'm more active on Touhou Gamedev Discord than the forums. Maybe that'll change soon...
7 years. That's how long this thread's been alive. It's amazing how my interest in, Touhou even, has lasted this long.
Seriously, thank you all for investing the time and brain energy into this project, it really means a lot. I wasn't ready to see it elicit this much self-reflection and thoughtfulness coming from the community at large (but then, I am still sort of new to putting myself out there to begin with.) Even now as I look back I'm kind of eh with the way the questions were posed, as well as some of the answers. I guess there's room for improvement in everything if you squint hard enough ... But it's such a relief to see a majority of the responses be positive, as in, y'all were more or less happy with the matches. If anything, I only hope that the quiz had at least
some influence on whichever cosplay you decide to go in when heading to a con somewhere.
To be honest, I like the older test better, since the results at the end have a lot more substance to them. The art and roster of the newer test are nice, but there's only like 2 sentences about each character and their personalities.
Fair point. I remember writing the character descriptions a bit shorter and more generic the second time since it felt like the more I wrote the more the character archetype was boxed in, hence more room for errors in my own read on the characters, not to mention the mismatches with whoever's doing the quiz. Guess I went too far huh.
This comment piqued my interest so I decided to figure out which character is the most common of them all. Nobody kept track of it in the old forum so for the sake of data collection I counted them all myself too. I didn’t count retakes and I if somebody did both the new and old quiz, I counted the old one because it has more plentiful data to work of off.
I...... wow. You actually went ahead and-
What is there to say now, except, we all have a little Sakuya in us am I right.
(Seriously, that was quite the undertaking. Much admiration.)
Since the making of Version 2, there have been 3 new official games and 6 new characters (Yuuma, Son, Enoko, Chiyari, Hisami, Zanmu) and I'm still debating on when would be a good time to update this, if ever. Plus, I think the roster as it stands now isn't perfect - I don't think I came up with a set of criteria when choosing who to include that I'm 100% happy with.
Anywho, don't have much else to say to this. Thanks for keeping the thread alive and... long live the fandom...
