Seven questions, four answers each. Every answer gives one point to one of seven crawler types, and each type appears in four answers. Your most frequent approach wins; a tie goes to the approach you chose most recently. The seven types are the same seven the Class Builder uses for its cards, where a class's type comes from its strongest stat: Bruiser (Strength), Tank (Constitution), Rogue (Dexterity), Brain (Intelligence), Charmer (Charisma), All-Rounder (three or more stats tied) and Wildcard (no stats). It is a game we made up, not a type system from the books.

Bruiser

Gets the awkward bit done.

You see the obstacle everyone is discussing and start dealing with it. Sometimes the plan is simply to get the awkward bit done. Your challenge: leave room for someone else's better idea.

A playful match from your answers, not an official class. Your most frequent approach wins; a tie goes to the approach you chose most recently.

Build my classGive that get-it-done energy a class name.

Tank

Keeps everyone going.

You are the reason the group still has snacks, a backup plan and someone willing to stay behind. You keep things going. Your challenge: helping everyone does not mean taking every job.

A playful match from your answers, not an official class. Your most frequent approach wins; a tie goes to the approach you chose most recently.

Build my classMake a class for the person everyone relies on.

Rogue

Finds another way in.

You notice the side entrance while everyone else is arguing with the front door. You like an opening more than a fair fight. Your challenge: make sure the shortcut works for the whole group.

Build my classBuild a class around your best shortcut.

Brain

Spots what we're missing.

You want to know why the thing broke before anyone tries hitting it. You spot patterns and awkward details. Your challenge: sometimes a workable plan beats a perfect one.

Build my classTurn your oddly useful expertise into a class.

Charmer

Gets the room moving.

You remember that most group problems involve people. You ask, negotiate and get a reluctant room moving. Your challenge: a good conversation still needs a next step.

Build my classGive your people skills a class of their own.

All-Rounder

Changes roles. Keeps going.

You can carry the box, fix the list and take over dinner. Your strength is changing roles when the group needs it. Your challenge: you do not have to fill every gap yourself.

Build my classMake a class out of your particular mix of skills.

Wildcard

Has an idea. Hear them out.

You offer the idea that makes everyone pause, then ask whether it might actually work. You make room for surprises. Your challenge: tell the team before changing the entire plan.
