I got the tonto, but that is odd because I consistently answered that I prefer distance and skill. I would have expected the shuriken or yumi, or at the very least the bo or naginata.

The tanto does require skill to use effectively, and can be used at a distance with skill. I made sure this quiz was very accurate. If you want, you can take it again, or, you could try tanto training. Perhaps with your answers you were focussing mentally on ranged weaponry, but unconciously you were consistently choosing tanto answers? The tanto is an excellent weapon in the right hands, you know.

I kept the same answers except on the strength question. I went from "If I apply only raw power and no skill, I am very weak. With a decent application of skill, my power is great." to "I don't need strength when I'm accurate and I know where to hit my enemies. I'm not the best at bashing someone over the head." Both are equally applicable, but it changed the response from the tonto to the yumi. Interesting.

Do your 1 answer questions give partial points to numerous choices or do they only correlate with one choice? ISTM that partial points for others which also imbue the essence of the answer would be more accurate.

Here's how the quiz works:
Every question has many replies, each of which will grant one point when chosen to its specific result. The weapon result with the most points becomes your result. I think the quiz says that both the tanto and the yumi would be a good weapon for you. I needed a question or two to only be able to give one point to one result, to fight ties, and of course to make sense.

Well, it is a very versatile and useful weapon in a combat situation. I'm particularly proud of mine.

Okay, I finally took this quiz. I got a katana, which is cool because I love a nice, sharp sword anyway.
