What Type of Fencer Should You Be?

**Event Horizon** · 09-25-2003 02:49 PM

Okay, here's another one of those crazy quizes.

What type of fencer should you be?

<img src="http://images.quizilla.com/R/rebekahbex/1058161089_turessaber.jpg" border="0" alt="HASH(0x849a3d4)"> You're a sabre. You're pretty much just a total wacko, but people like you anyway. Might as well just take the weird and run with it.

Huh? I've always wanted to learn Sabre but a wacko??

Oh well...

**MyraTrue** · 09-25-2003 03:53 PM

Sabre?

WHAT?????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????? NO WAY! So I disagree, a lot. But I don't know if I'd do any of the above on a couple of those.

Oh well, I'd fence sabre over foil, and maybe I am just a wacko. I wonder if it tells everyone the same thing?

You are nice, but sometimes you forget stuff. Like the fact that there are, like, other people, and stuff.

Dunno. Seems to be a somewhat accurate description of the stereotpyical epee fencer...

I do forget a lot... like my original line of thought.

what the hell????

where did it get this from?????

i'm so confused....

*hides behind my sabre*

**MyraTrue** · 09-26-2003 12:25 AM

Uhh... MP- can I switch you? *holds out my "shoud fence sabre" badge* I want my epee back. *also hides behind her epee, newly wired, perfectly working, my first...*

I refuse to be told I SHOULD fence Saber cause I wear comfortable clothes, and am not terribly athletic by nature. Hah! And just because I'd find an alternative way to avoid a mugging... thats why I carry my epee OUTSIDE my fencing bag when walking back to my car across campus...

Well...

**DJ Apostrophe** · 09-26-2003 12:35 AM

Eww... it called me a foilist...

I'm HIGHLY offended...

-w

You're an epee. You are strong and patient, but you can kick some major butt when you have to. You are nice, but sometimes you forget stuff. Like the fact that there are, like, other people, and stuff.

That's interesting. What are the differences between Epee and Foil?

**Saber-Psycho** · 09-26-2003 02:02 PM

"You're a foil. You fence with a conventional weapon, but that doesn't make you boring. You have issues with handling your losses, but you are an intense fencer to the core."

::Splutters indignantly::

Foil! FOIL!!

I think your test is ****ed up.

**MyraTrue** · 09-26-2003 03:18 PM

uh-huh! I tell you, no one seems to get their weapon out of this...

**Wizardly** · 09-26-2003 03:40 PM

Epee? EPEE??? That's just all wrong. It makes me wonder what I'd have to check in order to get the CORRECT response.

Where did I put that big red button that blows up websites?

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
CLEARLY not produced by anyone that has met a fencer...or at the very least, fences the wrong weapon...or maybe even fences their weapon wrong.

RAWR!

**veeco** · 09-26-2003 03:49 PM

Hmm, it worked out well for me ;-)

**Event Horizon** · 09-26-2003 06:46 PM

This quiz isn't as good as the other one. But I'm getting a kick out of everyone's responses.

**MyraTrue** · 09-26-2003 09:26 PM

Well, hell, no surprise we object.

Figure as often as we insult everyone else's weapon, ie: "only a sabre fencer would do THAT" or "oh, thats just because you're a foilist" and "oh, leave it up to the epeeist to..."

And these replies are really quite funny, but the quiz was eithe poorly made, or made to cause just this reaction.

**Event Horizon** · 09-26-2003 10:40 PM

I agree the quiz is poorly made. I know there are psychological tests similar to this that can be quite accurate. I've taken a couple in the past and they were very involved (ex: over 400 questions).

I know there's a certain pattern to it, and by the questions asked the tester can probably determine which ones you answered falsely. There's a certain term for this test but forget the name.

The other quiz "What kind of fencer are you?" was much better done.

**Zelda** · 09-26-2003 11:17 PM

Well it got me right....said I was a foil, dont fence anything else so thats correct!

**KShan5[PrFC]** · 09-27-2003 12:05 AM

Ummm mine jsut said you are a good fencer alltogether. I dunno about you guys, sorry God just loves me more.....

Actually I was told to fence foil.....i wanna trade, anyone willing to give up a sabre?

**Indy4ever** · 09-27-2003 07:58 AM

well according to this highly proffessionaly test, i am ideally suited to the weapon i fence (epee) which basically means i am perfect and always have been. but i dont need the internet to tell me that...

**MyraTrue** · 09-27-2003 11:57 AM

*cough, cough* bullsh*t *cough cough*

And KShan5, I'll trade you! *holds out my sabre tag*

Its actually funny, it seems like sabre is the catch all with this test- I can change a lot of answers and still get "Your a psycho, fence sabre"

**Peach** · 09-27-2003 12:05 PM

I wish it did automatically make you sabre--I came out "foil" in this one.

Maybe the only reason I'm not a foilist is lack of point control. . .

Nah.
