FOR THOSE INTERESTED, HERE'S A LITTLE EXPLANATION AS TO HOW THE STATS YOU'RE GIVING ME ARE COMPILED.
KEEP IN MIND THAT MY SYSTEM IS OVERSIMPLIFIED AND FLAWED. I'LL BE FEATURING A MORE COMPLEX ONE WITH MORE QUESTIONS AND MORE OUTCOMES AT A LATER DATE. FOR NOW, HERE'S A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF HOW/WHY YOU GUYS GOT THE RESULTS YOU GOT.
NEEDY VS INDEPENDENT
If you rated yourself are being very needy, then you automatically got major points in favour of Nick (the most controlling of the three). If you rated yourself as being needy to moderately needy, then you got points for Zack, while those who rated themselves as being independent got their points sent to Shawn for this category.
SENSITIVE VS HARDENED
If you rated yourself as being very sensitive, then you automatically got major points for Zack (the most empathic and gentle of the three). If you rated yourself as sensitive to moderately sensitive (2-3) then your points went to Nick, who is also quite attentive and caring in his own way. Those who rated themselves as being hardened got their points sent to Shawn for this category.
CAUTIOUS VS ADVENTUROUS
If you rated yourself as being very cautious, you automatically got your points sent to Nick for this section. Nick is a known quantity. You guys (those who are up to date/have read most of the story) know the ins and outs of him (his qualities and flaws). If you rated yourself as being closer to the middle, then you got your points sent to Zack, which involves a bit of risk seeing as how we don't know him as well as we know Nick. If you rated yourself as adventurous, then Shawn got big points, seeing as how he's the riskiest/least predictable of the three.
CALM VS PLAYFUL
If you rated yourself as being on the calm side, your points were distributed evenly towards Nick & Shawn. If you rated yourself as being playful, Zack scored big points. If you fell in the middle (3) all three candidates received the same points for this category.
CHAOTIC VS STRUCTURED
By far the most counter-intuitive of the categories. I matched you guys up with your opposites, meaning that if you rated yourself as chaotic, you scored points with the structured doms (Nick & Zack) and if you're structured you scored points with the far less structured one (Shawn). Shawn could benefit from your structure, while Nick & Zack could help attenuate your chaotic tendencies. In short, if you rated 1-2 your points went to Nick & Zack. If you rated 4-5 your points went to Shawn. If you rated 3, all three of them got an even number of points.
FORGIVING VS GRUDGE-HOLDING
If you rated yourself as very forgiving, your points were sent to Shawn. If you rated yourself as moderately forgiving (2-3) your points went to Nick, if you rated yourself as grudge-holding (4-5) your points were sent to Zack. Self-explanatory.
JOVIAL VS SERIOUS
Similar to "calm vs playful". The more jovial you are, the more points got sent to Zack. If you rated yourself a 3, all three candidates got an even score. If you rated yourself as serious, Nick & Shawn both scored the same.
SUBMISSIVE VS DOMINANT
If you rated yourself as very submissive (1) your points automatically went to Nick. If you rated yourself as submissive (2), your points were sent to Zack. If you rated yourself as somewhere in the middle (3) your points went to Shawn (the least controlling of the three candidates). If you rated yourself as dominant, your points were also sent to Shawn but they weighed substantially less. A score of 5 carried no weight.
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF YOU PARTICIPATE!
