#Which Wizard101 school should you pick?
To preference this quiz, I want to say a few things. When making this, I only considered the worlds that are included for free in the console version of the game. I did not include PvP in my consideration, nor did I include side worlds like Grizzleheim or Wintertusk. For a more in depth consideration, I suggest reading meta guides. There's a lot to consider there. If you're looking for a more casual experience, this is the quiz for you.
It is 100% perfectly fine to take the in game quiz and just use whatever school they give you. Generally it's a decent quiz, and going in blind can be a lot of fun. The gem decision at the end is a tie breaker, so try not to think too much about it.

#Your results:
(if: $playstyle is 2 and $teamsize is 4 and $role is 4)[You should play the ''Life'' school.
Life school is what it says on the tin. Healers with minimal other DPS and function.](else-if: $playstyle is 2 and $teamsize is 4 and $role is 3)[You should play the ''Balance'' school.
Balance is the buffer class. You can do some decent sub-DPS, but overall your goal is to buff your teammates.](else-if: $playstyle is 2 and $teamsize is 4 and $role is 2)[You should play the ''Ice'' school.
First slot tanks with non-negligible sub-dps.](else-if: $playstyle is 2 and $teamsize is 4 and $role is 1)[You should play ''Storm'' school.
It is really painful for me to admit this, but Storm is just the best party DPS. They have the highest raw damage in the game.](else-if: $playstyle is 2 and $teamsize is 3 and $role is 4)[You should play the ''Life'' school.

Fire excels in AoE while not completely sacrificing HP. On a two member team, play Fire as your MPDS.](else-if: $playstyle is 1 and $difficulty is 4 and $torturetype is 3 and $heals is 2)[You should play the ''Ice'' school.
Tanks who do sort of mid DPS. This will be the war of attrition you desire.](else-if: $playstyle is 1 and $difficulty is 4 and $torturetype is 3 and $heals is 1)[You should play the ''Life'' school.
Healers. They technically have damage spells.](else-if: $playstyle is 1 and $difficulty is 4 and $torturetype is 2)[You should play the ''Myth'' school.
Look. I get it. You're quirky. You like a challenge. Myth was marketed as the summon school. It technically does this. Good luck.](else-if: $playstyle is 1 and $difficulty is 4 and $torturetype is 1)[You should play the ''Balance'' school.
This is a pure buffing class. Why.](else-if: $playstyle is 1 and $difficulty is 3)[You should play the ''Storm'' school.
Requires a bit of time and patience to get rolling, but does great damage. A total glass canon. You will be resetting.](else-if: $playstyle is 1 and $difficulty is 2 and $survival is 2)[You should play the ''Death'' school.
Death functions like a lifesteal school. They have a lot of survivability, and potent self-buffing. They get decent AoE early on.
