Using the same answers, but changing the genders, I am either Galadriel or Gandalf. But in reality, I’m a total Hermione. ---

I’m Superman. _You are Superman. You are a hero who fights for justice and you have a strong sense of right and wrong. You stand up for the down-trodden and fight evil with all your strength. You are unafraid of death and to some you may seem mysterious._ ---

\*\*You are Tigger. \*\* You are fun and rambunctious. You love to make your friends laugh and to have a good time. People like to be around you because you accept others without judgement and you are cheerful and outgoing. As Tigger says himself “Bouncing is what Tiggers do best.” This makes me want to kill someone. ---

What did they use, a half dozen books? I’m a Hermione, also. I don’t know what that means since I stopped reading Harry Potter after the first 10 pages of one of them. I think I’m actually most similar to Jane Eyre, but apparently she wasn’t included in their tiny, tiny database. I think I’ll choose to believe they mean I’m [Hermione Gingold](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermione_Gingold), instead. ---

First time I took it, Galadriel. Second time, Eowyn. I’m fine with either answer. ---

Hermione in this test is just the female version of Sherlock Holmes - so for those who don’t know who she is you can use him as a reference. Lots of studious types here it seems ---

I am Dirk Pitt-- bold, confident and witty. I love to face new challenges and discover new things. I would’ve preferred to be Calvin (friend of Hobbes), but Dirk is a good second choice. ---
