A hundred percent Elrond. However I couldn't adjust the sliders...

Unbelievably, I just took the test and got 100% Gandalf. Arwen was a close second at 88%.

And me. I guess I'm not cut out for staying at home sewing banners. I also got 0% Legolas.

I, on the other hand, got 100% Legolas, so I just hope this test isn't based on the movies...

You're also my heir! Well, my Isildur side's, at least.

Well - I do seem to remember a Werewolf game where your character was quite the Captain Obvious...

Ardent has just left Hobbiton.
Barrow Downs says I'm either Pippin or Sam, but I relate more to Butterbur in so much as:
'He is wise enough on his own ground... he can see through a brick wall in time'

But Butterbur, while slow of thought, is unlike me in that 'he thinks less than he talks'. So I guess that would make me more akin to Treebeard in not being 'hasty'. Also I find I relate to much of C.S.Lewis's writings, and Treebeard was based on Lewis.
Hooom!

I also got zero for Boromir so at least orc pincushion may not be my fate. I did score high for Denethor and Theoden though.. so may ned to stay away from naked flame...

I am 100% Bilbo. Would never have occured to me, but really why not?

Apparently I'm also like Pippin (funny, because I'm currently rereading LotR and for the first time I'm actually identifying with him), Gollum (thanks), Éowyn (cool, but I hope I'm not that angsty!) and Elrond (Agan may laugh now). And 0% Tom Bombadil. (Greenie comments: "Well, good. I don't think you could stand a person like that. He's just the type that he would listen to reggae and you'd be stomping your feet!")

The Barrow-Downs personality test, however, tells me I'm the most like Legolas, and that I also resemble Boromir.

As for answering the question in general, I currently feel like a mixture of Gimli, Gandalf and Frodo.
