I've almost finished coding a Deus Ex personality test, but there are so many damn characters in the game that I really have no idea who to use for results.
Of course, J.C and Paul are in, but beyond that, I'm really stuck.
So who would you like to see as a test result?

Common soldiers-NSF, UNATCO, MJ12, "Thug"
Special soldiers-Commando, MIB, WIB
That girl who follows you around and keeps saying "I am not allowed"
" ", "Thanks for getting me in!"

Ignore the 'grunts' like the beggars and whores and the soldiers and so forth. Focus on people like Maggie chow, Tong, Alex, Bob page, ectre.

Put in Mercedes, shes the girl who asks you for money to get in to the club. She only has limited screentime but what is certain is that at the least she cons JC. The lock picks she has imply that she might be a theif.
She says that she and her friend left their money in the hotel, shes got 100 credits.
Don't know what questions you would ask though "Are you dishonest?" "Would you lie to get money?"

For Personality Tests of the "Which {insert your favourite movie/show/anime/game/book here} Character are You?" variety, you really need characters who have a personality, or at least some unique characteristic that would have an effect on personality.
Others to include: Hermann, Navarre, Simons (all bad guys, true, but they all have different characteristics) Nicolette, Lebedev, Everett, Savage etc. Maybe you could throw the AI's in there, too. Also, maybe have Howard Strong, just in case someone who is totally and utterly insane takes the test.
Once you've got all the "personalities" in DX, you should whittle them down until you get the right number, getting rid of less important or less interesting characters. Unless, of course, you want one where there are hundreds of possible outcomes.

The MiBs are nuts, and the WiBs underwent some sort of an opperation to become smarter. So if you use either of those just remeber that.

Dont forget that NSF guy in the MJ12 detention that madly rushes at bad guys with a knife, and disappears into thin air if you tell him to.

I think he was my favorite character lol. That or Everett, peculiar, and creepy that guy is.

Miguel! He's the coolest knife-fighter I know bar me.
