What does my Starfleet track mean for me?

In Star Trek, Starfleet is made up of many different divisions, and members work toward one of those positions while at Starfleet Academy. Each person is suited to a different role, and in this quiz, we assign you a track based on your skills and personality. Here's what your possible results mean:

Command Division
Authority comes naturally to you, but you're not someone who wants to abuse it, which is a vital quality for someone in Starfleet Command. You've got clear goals and aspirations, and you know how to inspire others to rise to any occasion, whether your crew is charting new galaxies or negotiating with warring planets. You keep a cool and level head, and while you can be a bit strict at times, it's for the greater good of your crew and the Federation. People turn to you to set an example, and they follow your lead when they're not sure what else to do. That's a lot of pressure, but you're prepared for it. This is what you're training for!

Engineering Division
You're a tinkerer at heart, someone who enjoys yourself most when you've got a tricky problem in front of you. Engineering is a big umbrella, and it covers everything from ship maintenance to warp drive theory. No puzzle is too big or too small, and you pride yourself on tackling even the simplest of hurdles with the care and focus they deserve, because you understand that it's the little things that make up a solid foundation for the bigger things. You're creative, clever, and quick-thinking, always inspired by potential and possibility, and you know there's a way out of every dead-end or wrong turn, as long as you think hard enough.

Sciences Division
You're a curious mind, someone who knows that there's so much we don't know already. Starfleet encounters new planets and new species every day, and it's people like you who help the higher-ups understand the universe they navigate. You know that, in the grand scheme of things, we're just a tiny speck in an unfathomably large existence, and that keeps you both humble and determined to learn as much as you can. The more we learn, after all, the higher our consciences climb. Sure, there's glory in new discoveries, but you do this for everyone, so that we can all move forward together.

Exploratory Division
You're an adventurer, someone who's ready to fly headfirst into a black hole if there's the chance something new and exciting is on the other side, and there's always that chance. You're bold, decisive, and quite the colorful personality. You know better than anyone that the universe holds untold mysteries and possibilities, and you want to be on the frontlines of discovering them. Some want their names recorded in history for being the first, but you just want to behold the miracles of life... and it doesn't help to be the first person to do that. There's a novelty to it that nothing else can match.

Medical Division
You know that no matter how big the universe is, and no matter what wonders it holds, the true wonders are the people inside it, no matter their species. You're a caretaker, a protector, and you want to see people live long and healthy lives so that they can go out into the stars and make history. You're kind, compassionate, and careful. People admire your selflessness and sense of duty, and you take that duty seriously. More than anyone, the nurses and doctors of the Federation exemplify its peaceful ethos, to help more than harm, and you set the example for every other division.
