Was a Trillian, then I didn’t like being a girl, so changed some answers to answers that I qould still say as yes, I could say that, and came out the other side a Ford. Much better. ---

I’m a Trillian. Great timing for the quiz, though. I’m reading through the Hitchhiker’s Guide series now. 🙂 Thanks, **Michael**. ---

Weird; it said that I’m a bowl of petunias. –Or, alternately, Trillian. Maybe the SDMB should be redubbed “Home of the Teeming Trillians.” Now, refresh my memory, didn’t the “big plans” the Universe had for her just turn out to be her marrying Zaphod at some point? Was there ever any more to it than that? ---

Another Zaphod here. Good thing there are so many Trillians. ---

Heh, perhaps we should keep in mind that this thing is not scientific, and our judgments of our own personalities probably ARE more on target than this brief multiple-choice quiz? ---

I took it _wanting_ to be Marvin TPA and I was. I took it again wanting to be Dent Arthur Dent. And I was. Then, Ford… You get the picture. Fun ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dimosc \* > i assumed a Zaphod personality and it turned out I’m Zaphod! 🆒 > > yay! All drinks on me 😉 \*\* As long as you are a Zaphod or a Ford you should be fine. The test told me pretty much what I knew already - That I was an OK guy. I think I may have to grab my copies of the Guide books next time I go to my parents house. ---

> [@](#): > > You’re Zaphod! When it comes to knowing yourself, you have this funny little feeling you’re missing something, but that doesn’t bother you. You enjoy being in the limelight, and when someone pushes you out, you get mad. Hey, we all know you’re insecure, but swallow your ego and you’ll be a lot more enjoyable to be around. True. ---

Another Aurthur. Just cos the thought of tea impersonators and working in a tea factory are things I find appealing. Mmm, tea impersonators.
