I was just wondering, would it be a good idea to make a test that could somehow tell you what faction would be the best for you, either by playing style or by idealogy? It's just an interesting thought...

It's the first official SMAC site, no longer supported of course. But as livid imp says, you can guess your results yourself. 
True, but of course, for SMAC veterans I doubt you can invent any question where they don't know what faction it would result in.Originally posted by livid imp

what faction is the best for me? I don't need a test to tell me what I am.
Most survey show me as a democrat with little socialist leanings. But I consider myself a centrist who supports the environment.
And I enjoy playing the peacekeepers the most. Imagine that.
. Of course I also like playing them for the double votes in elections .
I can play free market style, but I don't prefer to. I usually like playing green- even though this hampers my gameplay.
You'd think the gaians would be good, but they are pansies. Even though I support the environment, I like a strong advanced military. Again the peacekeepers fit this bill. Planet cult is just as bad as the gaians. I hate them.
Drones and Hive are too extreme for my ideology. Though it is fun playing with the industry bonus of the drones. I hate the hive.
Pirates. meh. I don't like sea bases much. Yeah I used to be in the U.S. Navy, but navy in smac isn't as exciting.
Believers? yeah right.
Spartans. Too warlike. I love strong militaries as I said. But I'm more defensive in nature.
Data Angels? I'm not much of a computer hacker.
Cybernetci conciousness? too much technology. Same with University. I like decent technology, but a balance must be made.
Peacekeepers is just the best fit for me.Comment

Me? I like building things and in SMAC's case, terraforming... The natural faction for me is the Agrians (with a few changes) from the Network Node
I once was a slave to the Alderbaran 2 project!
Now I shall work towards cIV:AC!... Oh Wait, that's dead too...

Gaians for me. Freedom-loving tree-huggers with pacifist tendencies? Heck yeah.
On the other hand, the Data Angel's relaxed attitude really speaks to me as well - as does the cold rationality of the Consciousness."I'm too young and too male to be the mother of a seventeen year old female me!"Comment

On another related note, do you remember the term "Screaming Alpha"?"They’re lazy troublemakers, and they all carry weapons." - SMAC Manual, Page 59 Regarding Drones

Perhaps someone knows a computer program that I could use to make such a test?Comment
