What kind of subsim skipper are you?

Everyone brags about how many tons he has sunk, or his polished firing point procedures. Talk is cheap. Subsim, in conjunction with NASA and the National Academy of Sciences, has formulated a simple quiz that will define the kind of subsim skipper you are. All questions must be answered. No use arguing with the results, this quiz is 100% foolproof. I did mention NASA, right?
