Interesting...

Seeing this one pop up and checking back to have done this like two years ago I decided to give it a go again. And lay and behold! It was soo different!

Well I was aware of making it a bit differently as I was marking the edge-grades more than the middle-ones which I always end up marking in this kind of a quizzes. But really, the results made an interesting change from the previous try while I don't think I have changed so much in such a short time.

So I'm... (the previous results in brackets, followed by the difference)

Frodo 77% (63%) = + 14%
Gandalf 70% (63%) = +7%
Saruman 63% (63%) = even!
Arwen 63% (67%) = -4%
Boromir 60% (50%) = +10%
Samwise 53% (47%) = +6%
Gollum 53% (43%) = +10%
Galadriel 47% (30%) = +17%
Aragorn 47% (54%) = -7%
Merry 43% (37%) = +6%
Pippin 40% (70%) = -30%
Legolas 40% (67%) = -27%
Eowyn 33% (47%) = -14%
Gimli 20% (47%) = -27%

So by taking more extreme views on matters makes me a lot more Galadriel and Frodo, and makes me less Pip, Legolas or Gimli?

Whatever, it was a fun ten minutes anyway... Let's see how it will turn out on 2012?
