Why don't personality tests have [I]all[/I] the characters in them?

I've noticed that they usually have all of the fellowship, and sometimes arwen and galadriel. What about everyone else? There's Eowyn, Farmir, Tree beard, Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, Barliman Butterbur, ect. I know that they're all minor characters, but they still are in the book, and they still have acknowledgable personalities. It doesn't make sense if you ask me [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I think the reason is that some of these personality tests came with FoTR movie, and some of those characters do not appear in the movie. Or it might just be for the reason that they are minor characters and with the main characters, you can get more info on their personality. I tend to think the latter is the reason.

ya, that's probably it. the tests would be too hard to make if they had so many characters. they would also be very long, so people might not wanna take it.

Some tests are different than others. There is another personality quiz in this forum that has all of the characters.

The one I started has lots, and includes such minor figures as Beregond of the Guard.

Other than that, how to answer this question? Why is the sky blue? Never mind, that's not a good analogy.

Eh...okay, I'm wondering, now...what would be the questions to make you Treebeard?

1)Are you fond of other trees?
2)Do you do things rather slowly (as opposed to being hasty).
3)Do you have rather hard, brown skin?
4)Can you walk a mile or two in one step?...
5)Do you sometimes go to pluck a leaf out of your hair, then realize it is your hair?
Hoom...nope, I'm not Tree Beard.... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
