Now, now, Skip, if you'll notice I am 97% Saruman and 90% Gandalf, which, in looking at everyone else's scores, is way off the charts in either case (and makes no sense). It must be that I am simply Maiaric, whether good or bad.

Now, where did I put my staff? And may I have a banana?

Nice try, Morth, but we all know you're eeevillllll to the core.:p

Ok... took that thing twice, and still, I'm Arwen? And Legolas?! Legolas? We don't even know too much of his character!!!

But I like the Saruman and Boromir bits.

So, after a year I took the quiz again and my results have somewhat changed although there are also some that have remained the same.

Whereas now the list is following:
Frodo Baggins 77%
Boromir 73%
Gimli 73%
Eowyn of Rohan 70%
Aragorn 70%
Saruman the White 63%
Gollum 63%

Peregrin Took (Pippin) 60%
Gandalf the Grey 60%
Samwise Gamgee 57%
Legolas 53%
Galadriel 50%
Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry) 33%

Frodo's leap on the top of my list is more or less understandable since he has become one of my favourite characters only during the last year. I don't know if that's happened because I've found more Frodo-traits in me or if I've just unconsciously taken him for a role model now or whatever, but I don't really mind reminding him anyway. On the other hand, I'm also more like Boromir and Gimli than I used to be.

I don't quite understand why Éowyn and Arwen scored that well since I don't think I remind either of them. Well, I have some of Éowyn's childish stubborness, but that's all.

Also, compared to last year, Gollum's score is quite interesting. He used to be among those I remind the least, but now he has as many points as my third option had a year ago. :eek::D

All right, you made me wonder too. The results are... interesting, again, in that they have changed in some things, but not in all.

So, I am more of Galadriel than I used to be (and nowadays it's quite a lot). I lost Samwise & Arwen to Legolas and Pippin (resp. my Samwise percentage remained the same, but the others got more points), who still surprises me, now even more than the year before because he's among the top three. What's Pippin except the fact that he's "fool of a Took"? He's maybe young, cheerful, and silly... ah. I see. Okay, in that case I have no complaints. :)
Otherwise, I can see slight growth (about 5-10%) with Aragorn, Gandalf (significant - he outrun Saruman), however the most with Éowyn who used to be the last (mere 10%) and now she outrun both Gimli and Gollum. And overall, the only person who lost some percentage was Arwen. Fine.

Well... *ahem* I just retook it and came out as 97% Saruman this time myself .

Nah, I think you just don't want to be ranked with Saruman... *snickers and hurries away like a little kid*

But really, what is the basis of that thing? I can't believe they considered putting Legolas, considering how that not much developed his character is compared to, say, Frodo. Or was it because of the questions that asked if you think yourself tall, elegant, and an archer?

Groin Redbeard 09-04-2008 09:25 AM

Galadriel fits you best, Legate. She's wise like you, serious, and speaks in ways that confuse people sometimes.

I am very proud of the way this has turned out, finally I've become a dwarf! :D I'm also glad that I was Merry, he always was the smartest out of the four hobbits, with the exception of Frodo. Aragorn is always welcomed on my list, who doesn't want to be like him? The only complaint I have to make is that Gollum has risen 10% on my list and that Pippin has taken the back seat. I think it's safe to say that I've become more serious over the last year, with a small increase in my integrity and a decrease in my wisdom (all the evil characters moved up on my list)! :D

How come? I don't feel very pippin-ish and I've never identified with him (I always indentified much more with Merry - Pippin is my little sister, not me! ;))... hmm... interesting. :D But Frodo, yes, I can see why I got that result, and I like Frodo. I always kind of indentified with him too, possibly partly because some people kept calling me Mr Frodo... :D

Well, I always liked Merry more too, because like Groin said, he was indeed smart; but as for why you are Pippin is pretty clear - look up on what I wrote here. The reason is simple and definitely true: you are silli! ;) :D

Gwathagor 09-04-2008 05:02 PM

I wouldn't have anticipated scoring so high on Galadriel-like characteristics, but this is pretty much the same line-up as last time.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 09-04-2008 11:19 PM

Let's try this again... I seem to have this Gandalf complex about me... It must be my obsession with hobbits. But Pippin, I can see how I'm like him. :D:rolleyes: And Gimli, I can be Gimlish too I suppose... But Arwen? It's my hopeless romanticness isn't it:rolleyes:... But NOT Legolas! And yes, even though I'm not very fond of Frodo, I do possess traits of his too...

That's about all I'm going to say on this matter...

So he made one tiny mistake and is now chastised forever. That ain't fair, is it? ;)

Or am I? *shifty eyes*

I might re-take the test and see If I can be a 100 % like Arwen. That should be quite a challenge considering how little we know about her personality. Not now though...

It is just like in the movies. . .Arwen the usurper has taken Glorfindel's place :p
Actually it is fairly accurate Gandalf and Galadriel is the two characters I consider my favourits.

If there is any major suprises, then it is that Sam is not at the very bottom and that Gollum is so high on the list.

Istari and Elves are my thing, not that I don't find human, hobbits and dwarves interesting.
Rohan is also very interesting, but Theoden is the only character of Rohan that I find just a bit interesting.
