Looking around for fun last night, I found the [Lord of the Rings Character Test](http://www.zovakware.com/tests/lordoftherings.htm) website. It asks you 7 questions, then tells you a character that it thinks you’re like. It told me: “If I were a character in The Lord of the Rings, I would be Elrond, Elf, ruler of Rivendell and father of Arwen.” I’m not so sure - I think I would be more like Merry. Well, maybe Merry from the book. Or perhaps Faramir. Try it, and post how well you like the results. ---

A Galadriel checking in. I think it needs more questions. ---

Theoden. I think it’s the beard, although I was afraid I’d be Gimli. ---

Another Elrond here. It does need more than just 7 questions though. ---

Merry. I can buy that. Jolly but capable of being serious, not afraid to use a sword when he has to, would rather be eating and drinking. ---

Merry too. I like to think, Merry AFTER the entdraught . . . ---

Legolas. LOTR needs more girl characters. ---

Celeborn. That one never even occurred to me. ---

Another Merry here, and that’s cool with me. Definitely one of my favorite characters. ---

Yeah, it needs more questions, more characters, and some personality description to go with it. I got bored a lot quicker with it saying I’m \_\_\_\_ than if it had said I’m \_\_\_\_\_ with these personality traits (or anything, really). **LunaSea** , you hit the nail on the head - while the website could use more of the girl characters from the book, it’s still going to run out - there aren’t a lot of female characters in the source material, either. ---

Another Merry that’s cool but I think I’m more like Pippen ---

Bilbo checking in. I think it was the “hide from enemies” choice that did it. ---

I pulled off a Wormtongue and Saruman. It cheeses me off that they don’t have Sauron, I mean sure he’s _only_ the **Title Character** and more essential to the plot than Gandalf, Frodo and Aragorn put together. ---

If I were a character in The Lord of the Rings, I would be Celeborn, Elf, King of Lothlorien, husband of Galadriel and grandfather of Arwen. Too bad I don’t have any sperm. Maybe that’s why Steve Tyler had to sneak into Lothlorien— and Galadriel. ---

It said I would be Aragorn. I do happen to be married to a tall brunette in real life… ---

Another Celeborn. I’m gonna go back and say I don’t want to be married – it’ll probably turn me into a Gimli. ---
