Results:

You are a dwarf if most answers fall under option A. 
You are a human if most answers fall under option B. 
You are a gnome if most answers fall under option C. 
You are an elf if most answers fall under option D.     

Like a giant, sturdy tree with roots deep in the earth, letting out a feeling of trustworthiness. The dwarfs are skilled technicians, and are confident warriors. They are very stubborn, and no one can convince them otherwise once they put their minds to something.

Dwarf

Their honest looks present them as being reliable and approachable. Their social skills are most impressive.

The dwarfs not only have a focused mind, but also have the best engineering expertise among all classes. They spend most of their time in mining tunnels, hence developing hardy personalities that can accomplish anything, even under the worst circumstances. Any ore can be polished into usable material in their hands. Their flexibility –or executional power– is the best out of all.

When dwarfs set heart to finish something, nothing can stop them. This kind of determination is very admirable, yet they have trouble taking in good advice, and trust only their own instincts at crucial moments. Although good-natured, their communication skills need much work. All roads lead to Rome. Be more open-minded to other opinions, and you will become a more efficient person.

The dwarf’s hard-working characteristic might render them boring sometimes. It is suggested to spice up your youth skill and maintain a fresh spirit, in order to be a more pleasant person to be around. 

Like a clean canvas, humans are not gifted with any unique power from the Creator. They are evenly balanced in each aspect, and are good moderators for different classes. Each human can paint its canvas with their personal colors.

Human

The humans are known for their remarkable learning abilities, as to make up for their natural disadvantages. They are very adaptable and have keen observation, that allow them to detect another’s feelings in social events. They tend to listen more, and act according another being’s will. They are given the talent of communication, no matter with peers, subordinates or superiors.

The humans’ strength in socializing makes them natural service representatives. They are the best choice for dealing with clients, and also have perfect sense in the client’s reaction to a product. Their level of awareness is extraordinary.

A good social network doesn’t necessary lead to great success. If one learns broad, yet not deep, there will be no credit or persuasion, despite being an eloquent speaker. To become truly well-rounded, improving professional skills must be a priority.

Like a sly rabbit, who is always ready for mischief and fun. Petite, yet incredibly swift, and is a brilliant yet cunning prankster. 

Gnome

In order to fulfill their own curiosity, gnomes love to use all sorts of magic tricks to achieve the effect they’re aiming for. No one can be as innovative as a gnome might be!

They love to day dream, and engage themselves in alchemy practices. One single idea can lead to a great project, due to their ability to collect information. From a flicker of the imagination, to the realization of a project, they can always present something original and new.

They maintain the child within at all times. That is where their energy comes from, since the power of youth is invincible. It is the key to allow them to be open to change.

This fun-loving class’ weakness is their lack of organization. Although inventive, they rarely take into consideration practical factors, such as financial challenges or market feedback. Therefore, the ability to coordinate resources is essential for them.

Gnomes are often too optimistic and care too less about anything less other than invention. Free associative thinking is not the key to solving problems. You have to engage in reality during your research, and must improve your sense of awareness of current situations.

Like a lone star in a night sky, it shines alone in darkness. It is the beacon of hope that all classes look up to, a lone reed amidst the vast, unknown mysterious of the universe. 

Elf

Elves are proud loners that respect only their own kind. They are very agile and spend their time wandering in deserted forests. With infinite knowledge of all creatures of nature, they are the welcomed by every flora and fauna. The elves’ international skills can be surpassed by no one.

In game, elves are completely immune to magic or poison attacks. Furthermore, they can effortlessly take down an enemy without even wrinkling one brow. Their outstanding resolution skills resembles cool and collected core officers in a corporation.

Compared to other classes, the elves excel in “listening”, “searching” and “scouting” skills, in which contribute to their talents in coordination.

Being the perfect combination of “beauty” and “wisdom”, elves sometimes develop such good images of themselves, that blind them from seeing their mistakes. They think they are always right, and others can always understand them. However, upon dealing with different situations, sometimes different approaches are needed. You should be more willing to communicate with subordinates or juniors.

The elves’ high self-esteem may render them hard to approach. They would see themselves as the decision-makers in a corporation, yet their flexibility might not be as good as the dwarfs.
