New Quiz....sort of
 
All righty!! I have a fairly profound interest in Numerology. For those of you that don't know what it is, I'll explain: Numerology is the belief that the numbers in your name represent your personality. Now, as to the quiz portion. I have matched each member of the Fellowship up with a certain number ranging from 1 to 9. Now before you go ranting on about how the number of their name doesn't match the number they're listed with, it's because some characters had the same number, so I had to spread it out.

This is how it works. Each letter of the alphabet has a certain numerical value. Find the values that spell your name and add them up. It should be a two digit number. Then add the two digits together, then together again. If you get a one digit number the first time you add them up, stick with that number. Here's the chart:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z

This is an example:

Elenya Linden
E L E N Y A L I N D E N
5+3+5+5+7+1+3+9+5+4+5+5 = 57
5+7 = 12
1+2 = 3
Therefore, Elenya Linden is a Three.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are the matches:

Ones - Aragorn
Numerologists say that ones are powerful, stubborn, and self-reliant. They are pioneers and leaders and do not take orders well. They concentrate on what they are doing and have good memories.

Twos - Legolas
You have a soft, sweet nature and are quiet and tactful. You love peace and harmony and tend to play second fiddle. Twos are followers, not leaders and they don't like to assert themselves.

Threes - Pippin
People whose names add to three are imaginative, brilliant and energetic. Threes are witty, charming, and likely to be very successful in life. They are easy-going and lucky.

Fours - Gimli
Fours are solid and practical. They are efficient and like to think of themselves as respectable members of society. They like steady, hard work and are do not easily show their emotions.

Fives - Merry
Fives are nervous, clever, and impatient. They love the new and unsusual - travel, new people, different surroundings. Fives also enjoy gambling and risks. They make excellent salespeople, even though they are sometimes conceited and sarcastic.

Sixes - Sam
Sixes are kindly and reliable. Their loyal and affectionate nature makes them well suited for family life. Wholesome and conventional, they may be more successful in the long run than threes and fives. They are happiest in a quiet group of family and friends. They sometimes tend to be conceited and gossipy.

Sevens - Frodo
Seven stands for the scholar and philosopher. Sevens tend to withdraw from the world and meditate. They are dignifies, serious, and self controlled. Sevens have no interest in money or physical comfort. They have powerful minds, but there is a strange, dreamy side to their character. They are bad at explaining themselves, and dislike being questioned.

Eights - Boromir
People with this number are tough and practical, successful business men or politicians, but their way in life is not easy. Their careers are full of hard and difficult work. They can be selfish and unscrupulous and these qualities often make them unpopular. Beneath their efficient surface, eights are often rebels. They are constantly balanced between overwhelming success and crushing failure.

Nines - Gandalf
If your number is nine, you are a person of high mental and spiritual achievement. Nines have a great desire to help people at large, but are often condemned as wild and impractical. Their desire to do good may be expressed in a conceited and self-centered way, but that is only because they are too busy loving people in general to worry about individuals.

These descriptions may not fit the character exactly, but it may not fit you exactly either. I, for example, am a two, but I don't always play second fiddle.
Have Fun!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Finally: thank you: a quiz that doesn't have "Legolas" as the final answer for me...and, actually, since I'm into numerology, I knew my number already...

According to people: that is exactly what I'm like...I actually see myself as more of a 2, but they say I'm like a 3...

Nevfeniel 09-28-2002 02:58 PM

With my real name, I'm a two. With my B-D name, I'm still a two. And that test is very accurate, well for me it is.

Galadrie1 09-28-2002 03:07 PM

My real name got 9, which is pretty accurate, I guess... though I don't really "love people in general".

Then use your real name, silly!! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

hobbitlass 09-29-2002 12:03 AM

Okay, I did my real name, then my lifelong nickname (not hobbitlass) and both came up with 1. That is not me at all. I don't know what happened. I think I was named wrong because I am more of a follower (nothing wrong with letting more appropriate ones forging ahead) and I ceratinly don't pioneer anything. I like being in the background. A bit cautious, yes. I am more of a Legolas or Sam.

Wow! My character name got a seven, which is very much like her. And my real name got a 1, which is almost exactly like me. I'm known for being quite stubborn. I still love Legolas though!!

The Fifth 09-29-2002 12:58 AM

I got a three.

OK - I'm calm now. Sorry, but that isn't like me at all. Except I did play second flute for a while...

Isilya 09-29-2002 09:56 AM

A lot of people tend to outgrow their childhood/adolescence characteristics after a while. I, for example, am not as self-conscious as I once was. I'm slowly moving from a two to a three, depending on if I use my whole name of my first and last.

Aylwen Dreamsong 09-29-2002 10:03 AM

Wow!! In sixth grade... three years ago almost, my science teacher taught us that (she was the coolest, but she got fired for showing the Hobbit.) and whatever number you got, you would see what your boyfriend or crush or whatever's number was, and see if you were a match.

Cool, I almost forgot that she taught us this until you reminded me!

I am a...5....for my s/n and my real name is a...6.

So, I am a Merry and a Sam.

Wow...thats cool.

Isilya 09-29-2002 10:23 AM

Whoa, hold on there Aylwen: You said that your science teacher got FIRED for showing The Hobbit? Say WHAT?

Aylwen Dreamsong 09-29-2002 10:54 AM

Yes...she did. We were watching it one day, (our class was the smallest, nine people) and our old principal (works at a different school) walked in and asked if she could speak with our teacher. And when she came out of the hallway, she paused the movie and we saw she was crying. She told us that she wouldnt be coming back next year and that she got fired. But it was like, May so we got to have her the whole year. She was my favorite teacher. She got fired for showing the Hobbit because our prinipal thought it was bad for the students to watch. Like, demonistic or something.

Man!!

Creepy! That's pretty accurate.

Lilly Loamsdown 10-01-2002 02:21 PM

On my real name I was A 7,on my screen name a 6. But personally I think I'm somewhere between a 7 and an 8. I'v got carictaristics from both.

This describes me almost exactly. How did you come up with this quiz? Or did somebody else do it? If so, I applaud you.

Diamond18 10-14-2002 03:12 PM

By using my full name (first, middle, last), and also using my screen name (disregarding the 18) I got a six:

Sixes - Sam
Sixes are kindly and reliable. Their loyal and affectionate nature makes them well suited for family life. Wholesome and conventional, they may be more successful in the long run than threes and fives. They are happiest in a quiet group of family and friends. They sometimes tend to be conceited and gossipy.
By using just my first and last name, I got an 8:

Eights - Boromir
People with this number are tough and practical, successful business men or politicians, but their way in life is not easy. Their careers are full of hard and difficult work. They can be selfish and unscrupulous and these qualities often make them unpopular. Beneath their efficient surface, eights are often rebels. They are constantly balanced between overwhelming success and crushing failure.
The personality test the Barrow-Downs has told me that I'm most like Frodo, but also like Merry and Sam.

I don't think that I'm like any of the numbers described, to be honest.

I chose two of my characters that I have invented: Menelduliniel (from Role-Playing Games) and Celiarajaniä Siratsachint' (a personal story...the main idea for my fanfics "The Lost Races of Arda"...she's a Nymph and her name means Skyhawk Queendaughter (niä is a feminine Nymph name ending)). It was her birth name, although she adapted many others in various languages over the time of her life...both of them got 9 which is:

Their desire to do good may be expressed in a conceited and self-centered way, but that is only because they are too busy loving people in general to worry about individuals.
Considering well...Menelduliniel was based very, very, very loosely on Celiarajaniä, so they have the same basic history, just different races. Both were exiled for a long period of time for being considered to wild and a threat to the people who exiled them, even though they did nothing really wrong (okay: they killed someone, but...). They are completely 9's, actually...they are trying to further their races (especially Celiarajaniä, who wants to reunite the Nymphs...long story...over 20 pages in size 10 font so far and I haven't even really gotten a quarter of the way through the story) and have basically good intentions...
