[Guess the Dictator or Sitcom Character](http://www.smalltime.com/dictator.html), which reads your mind with such startling accuracy, has been around forever. But today is the first time I ever thought to go through it and answer the questions truthfully about myself, just to see whether it would identify me as a sitcom character or a dictator. Apparently, I’m Faith, from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” I think I can live with that. ---

David from, _David the Gnome_ Having no idea who, or what, _David the Gnome_ is makes it difficult to know whether I should feel good or bad about the results. So, who is David. ---

John Crichton from Farscape. I knew that this show was out there, but I’ve never actually seen it. Hm. For **MissGypsy** I do know that Miranda from Sex and the City is the red-headed one played by Cynthia Nixon. ---

I don’t think this is supposed to be taken like a personality quiz, it’s a computer that plays 20 questions. I was amazed I was only the second person to play as Noriega. ---

Jordan from Sister, Sister, who I had never heard of. After doing some [research,](http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-9871) I find he was Kenny from the Cosby Show. I’ll take it. ---

I’m John Howard, from Australia. I’m not sure he counts as a dictator, but from some of the laws they pass, “sitcom star” isn’t far off. Crikey! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guess-the-dictator-sitcom-character-or-sdmb-poster/241802.md?page=2)
