Well either someone did, or they decided to stop waiting for us to finish fussing and just went final on their own. OR it's another puzzle (what's wrong with this quiz?) but given the amount of content they issued with the quiz, I suspect this is what they intended.

icon on badges The badges confirm which image from the Cardiff artifact goes with which strength.
Sofia = hummingbird
Thumos = lion
Chariton = owl
Dikaiosune = fern (or whatever that plant is)
Sophrosune = sun
Mythopedia = feather/wing
eta: an excerpt from that artifact.
Quote:
Sofia creates seekers of knowledge.
Thumos creates adventurers.
Chariton creates links.
Dikaiosune creates leaders.
Sophrosune creates counsellors.
Mythopoeia creates truth-finders.
eta2: Eli's version from his second podcast
* sofia = wisdom
* thumos = courage
* chariton = charm
* dikaiosune = leadership
* sophrosune = temperence
* mythopeia = storytelling

Just a small correction:
Sofia = owl
and
Chariton = dove
Dove as symbol for peace fits much better than hummingbird

It took me awhile to register at her site too. I just kept trying and i think the next day it worked for me.
After i get my results it says to copy and paste it somewhere. Where do i actually paste this?

Something's not right.... I took the test off Ariadne's blog (coz I wanted the nifty little badge XD), and even though I selected the exact same answers that I did on the Facebook one, it gave me Thumos...! The Facebook one gave me Mythopoeia, which fits better for me; did Kai just make this test on his own without using the questions and key we came up with....??

Mythopeia is an olive branch and Dikaiosune is wing
Oh and the format of the test seems to have change...wonder if that's all Kai tweaked...

well, I'm uncertain if a wiki page is the best, or most user-friendly way to get people to report on what their strength is... not everyone knows or is confident to edit a wiki page, nor is anyone likely willing to watch for anyone who says what they are, anywhere, and add them to the page...
I'm thinking we need some simple 'add me' type page to track who's who. A central location we can point everyone to. *shrug*
I'd put something on wikibruce, but it would need to be programmed in PHP and I'm an ASP guy
Unless there's a 3rd party linux-based polling app that could be used?

signing up error Do not know if this is the same problem as the before mentioned problem to register. But I guess it is another one:
I can not sign up to the missions by clicking on the "Subscribe to missions" link, which should be a RSS feed, I Guess.
I get the following error:
Error Code is 200
Error Message is General Application Error
Am I the only one wit problems or is it really a "General Error"?

I have the problem aswell, if I want to "Subscribe to missionS"
but if you go on the page of the missions .. e.g. of Sophia directly, you can subscribe to it at the top of the page!
There it works for me

That's just if you want to use the "badges" (the little pictures associated with your ancient strength, which have a link embedded in them, presumably to draw people into the game).

No you don't have to register, you just have to complete it.
How far can you get? Able to select the answers but not complete the test? I'll let you work out the Java issues yourself and download the latest version. However, if you want to PM me your answers (if you are able to see them), I will score the test for you and give you your results.

I used HitsHerMark's Google Doc as the key to make the facebook app . The official one on FTLR could well be more accurate, or I may not have updated the quiz to reflect Markus's responses (we have his final result, not each individual response, I think). Were these ever sent to you/posted AUS505?
Also, in the event of a tie for major strength, if that is possible(?), my calculations picks at random between the tied strengths.
I've emailed Kai/Ariadne about it, anyhow

It's still bugging me that Ariadne's come up as Thumos. I'm sure each of the six athletes should represent a different strength. Maybe it's a glitch or a mistake, but I don't think so.
The only people I can think who might represent Dikaiosune - the missing strength - are Eli Hunt and Kai (and only because of his name: diKAI osune).
But even if we find someone representing Diakiosune. Why do we have two Thumoses?
