Who in fiction are you? (Book Week Scotland Personality Test)

[MrDibble]

I’m Atticus Finch

[Grey]

Hercule Poirot - really? Well the internet never lies… I suppose I should start working a waxed moustache.

[Yllaria]

I’m another** Mma Ramotswe **from The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. Yeah, I think age narrowed things down a lot.

It also looked like they were contrasting Thinking/Feeling as well as Introverted/Extroverted. Glad they didn’t bother with the full Myers-Briggs typing.

[Inner_Stickler]

I got Jean Valjean.

Welp, off to steal bread!

[misling]

I got Katniss too. Never read the books. The description didn’t sound too bad.

@Gagundathar

As am I.

That’s all well and good, but now I have to explain to my fiancee (a female, for the record) that I am homosexual. This is somewhat distressing.

To be fair there was absolutely no indication that Dumbledore was gay in the books, that seems to be just something that J.K. Rowling mentioned after the series was finished. So just pretend you didn’t know that.

@Exapno_Mapcase

George Smiley. I wonder who the female equivalent of that would be, since it all starts with age and there aren’t all that many famous older females.

The female equivalent of Geoge Smiley seems to be Clarice Starling, at least thats the result I got after responding to every question exactly the same but indicating that I was female.

I don’t even have to take the test to know I’m Lenny from Of Mice or Men

[SeldomSeen]

Who the h— is Charlie Bucket?? Never read the book nor saw the movie, never heard of the character, but apparently I resemble him…

[njtt]

Mr Darcy :eek:
Did anyone get Elizabeth Bennet?

Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (aka Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). If I had to guess his traits, empathy, honesty and hard worker would be up there.

@Sparky_the_Wonder_Spirit

I am Jane Eyre.

Lucky you! I aspire to be Jane-like, though I’m too old. I got this Ramotswe chick.

[Snickers]

Mary Poppins!

I’ll take that, I guess - could be worse!

[wonky]

I’m Emma Morley.

I don’t know who that is. I mean, I see she’s a character from a movie and was played by Anne Hathaway. But that’s all I know.

“You are Mma Ramotswe from The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency”

"Mma Ramotswe relies on her intuition and understanding of people, rather than attention to the details of the law, to help her solve cases. Her rare insight into how people work is something you share.

Your quest for finding meaning in life draws you towards jobs that help you make the world a better place. Although you’re generally calm and laid-back, on bad days you can become introverted, stubborn and inflexible, and you have a strong dislike for conflict. Yet you are capable of achieving so much, including great writing, if you’d only give yourself more credit."
I guess I’d better read the book!

It’s funny, very light reading. But I found it very funny and quirky-charming.

I’m Emma Woodhouse, from Emma. Apparently I’m just fun fun fun.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

Here is a character analysis of Emma Morley, FWIW.

Some quotes:

Emma is depicted to be the brainy of the two and the most straight-laced. She is not the type of person that Dexter would normally get into bed with and that’s what makes her so hesitant and she is just pleased that he is there with her at all. She is described as wearing thick rimmed, black NHS glasses and has mousy brown hair.

Emma’s life is also depicted as being quite sad and lonely. She doesn’t have many friends or boyfriends, the only friend that she thinks she has is Dexter, but then he doesn’t really want to spend any time with her. The readers often feel sad for her but as the story moves on they see that she makes something of her life and changes it around.

I re-took the test saying I was male and now I’m Atticus Finch. Sweet!

[DrDeth]

@Doyle

Aragorn from The Lord Of The Rings

me too.

[Roderick_Femm]

I am Atticus Finch (no, I am Atticus Finch!).

I am so not Atticus Finch. They seem to have a pretty limited set of choices in their fictional characters, especially if they came up with that, for me, out of, what, a dozen questions? For several of the questions my real answer would have either been something else than the two options, or a combination of the two options.

[MissTake]

Another Hermione checking in.

[congodwarf]

I’m Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

I’m not really sure how I feel about this.
