So, what race of people are you as it relates to Star Trek...any series
I am a Betazoid from TNG

BETAZOIDS

Betazoids are a humanoid species native to the planet Betazed. Betazed is a member of the United Federation of Planets. Physically, Betazoids are similar to humans. Distinguishing characteristics of Betazoids are their almost completely black eyes and usually, dark curly hair.

Betazoids are telepathic and empathic. Full Betazoids can read the thoughts and emotions of other Betazoids and other races. Ferengi, Breen, and Doptherian minds, due to the construction of their four-lobed brains, are immune to Betazoid telepathic and empathic abilities. Half-Betazoids are usually telepathic with full Betazoids, and empathic among other races. The Betazoid REM frequency is different from most humanoids. By nature, Betazoids are non-violent.

Most Betazoids develop their telepathic abilities in adolescence. The few individuals with their telepathic abilities active from birth generally lack the ability to shield thier minds from the thoughts of others. This usually results in extreme irritability or, in extreme cases, insanity if therapy is not provided.

Betazoid women are not considered "mature" until they have reached the age equivelent of 40 Earth years. Sometime thereafter, they enter "the phase," marked by a temporary quadrupling of their sex drive. Betazoid children are sometimes promised to each other for marriage by their parents, but the obligation to follow through is not rigid. The Betazoid wedding ceremony is traditionally conducted in the nude. The Betazoid gestational period is 10 months.

Betazoids are generally uncomfortable around those whose minds they cannot read. Also, they tend to prefer small creatures as the minds of larger animals can be somewhat frightening. Betazoids are completely honest, sometimes to the discomfort of those around them. They never think twice about speaking their mind.

"Imzadi" is the Betazoid word for "beloved."

Betazed is well-known for it's diplomatics delegations. Betazed participated in a diplomactic conference on the planet Pacifica (TNG Stardate 42859.2). The biennial Trade Agreements Conference held on Betazed in 2366 (TNG Stardate 43930.7) was disrupted by uninvited an Ferengi delegation and the abduction of some of its participants.

Betazed, homeworld to Betazoids, is a Class-M planet. Several active
arachaeological sites exist on Betazed. These sites are closely guarded. Betazed is considered one of the most beautiful worlds in the Federation.

9. Species quiz
http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=2130

Not a great quiz, but the first I found.

I came up with:


Result of Quiz :: What Star Trek Species Are You?
created by StrongMinded23
To create your own quiz, click here
You scored as Federation.

You Are The Federation, You prefer to be alone and learn. You enjoy helping people and know how to talk things up. You would help people into the spotlight before yourself

Federation 85%

Vulcan 75%

Borg 55%

Romulan 55%

Cardassian 40%

Dominion 35%

Ferengi 30%

Klingon 30%

Not that I'd consider 'Federation' to be a species.

12. Interesting quiz. Although It is flawed because I thought
the Klingon and Vulcans were part of the Federation.

18. yeah...I said it wasn't great
The Klingons were part of the Federation by TNG, but not during TOS,
(that's The Next Generation and The Original Series) so the Klingons being included is ok, but the Vulcans...definitely part of the Federation.

20. I can't believe, I matched Vulcan 95%
Federation only 60%
with Romulans and Klingons bringing up the rear.

Sounds about right.

11. I'm a shapeshifter
I have a Zelig-like tendency to take on the personality of those around me.

I don't like to be in medium-sized groups of people, becaucs I am torn in too many ways between the colliding worlds, and basically just revert to my liquid, neutral state.

24. Probably Vulcan. But, I'd Like To Be A "Q"
That would be most excellent. Complete mastery over time, space, energy, and matter. But, really i'm more like a Vulcan. Striving to be eminently logical, intelligent and educated, but holding back the darker angels of my emotions. I'd never attain k'ohlinar. (Or however it's really spelled.)

26. No Fair!
You didn't say what race we wanted to be. You asked what race from Star Trek are we. Now, you get to be a "Q" when i accepted Vulcan based on your question.

No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair, No fair.

Big Meanie!

39. You've noticed that too, huh?
That and the lack of seat belts.

I guess the folks on DS9 finally wised up and put some actual fleets in action for the Dominion War.

29. I think I'm a Romulan.
Analytical and calculating to the point of being devious, sometimes taking hours to plan my next move, but bottom line is I'm ruled by emotion. Plus I have straight black hair and two diagonally slanted blood vessels in my forehead pop out when I frown.
