Apparently I am 100% King Theoden. Which makes me laugh because I'm more or less a textbook definition of a Hobbit, sitting around pondering genealogy and maps while eating cake. And being easily persuaded by Wizards.

High five, bro!

Yeah, Gandalf is more or less annoyed about half the times he opens his mouth!

It seems like the test is inclined to give at least one 100% result to everyone. In addition to Sauron, I was also 92% Isildur. I don't really know how I managed to do it because all my answers were honest and at least I find myself a decent person!

Must be all the 'Yes to the No' questions.

I can confirm that at least you are a rather lovely person. I only know this, because the quiz believes I'm the test-tube baby of Bilbo and Aragorn. So you know I'm made of pure good intentions, adorable eccentricity and wisdom.

Now, now, Agan. Who are you to question a test that is "newer, better, much more accurate"? Why, it even says so in the title!

Clearly, you are simply in denial about your inner Dark Lord-ness.

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

Inziladun · 01-20-2013, 06:39 AM

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

Mithalwen · 01-20-2013, 07:06 AM

I got zero for Arwen

Thinlómien · 01-20-2013, 07:12 AM

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.
