That's why there are moths in my purse! I must have lived in Yorkshire for far too long... I answered honestly to the thing about presentses, bet that's where I fell down. Now I love giving presents, but let's be honest, we all love getting them even more!

Stop press - davem is Shelob/Lobelia/Dumbledore...

We can sit and share our evil, insular, greedy ways together...*evil mua-ha-ha*

Actually I quite honestly answered that I like seeing someone open a present from me best. This is because I sometimes go to great length planning and preparing said present and my reward is seeing it go over well. When I open up presents I'm always so self-conscious, and really anything my heart truly desires I most likely already bought for myself.

I answered that I have friends from many countries and ethnic background (thanks to the internet, wink wink) and other things rather un Ted Sandyman-like so it seems the thing that gave me such an unsavory result was my propensity to spend quiet evenings at home rather than par-tay, and pay more attention to local news.

Thumbs up

You are 46% Insular, 30% Sociable, and 46% Cupiditous!
You are an unfriendly, grasping sort of person. You don't have many friends because you tend to approach people the way you do everything -- looking for the advantage to yourself. Your saving grace is that you care for other people whom you do feel close to, and you are willing to defend them should the need arise.
I do like silver spoons.

Nice test, Fordhim. I thought I'd remind everyone that there is a personality test on the main site: http://www.barrowdowns.com/personality.php

I don't recall if we had a thread dedicated to results.
* EDIT * Here is a thread about the older personality test .

B-W, I thought that when I had taken that test I got Samwise. But as I can't find a post of mine in that thread, I can't remember for sure. Which probably explains the second part of the result I just got:

Quote:
Based on your answers, you are most like
Gandalf

You were also very much like
Barliman Butterbur
So, I seem to be a combination of Sauron, Gandalf, Ted Sandyman, and Barliman Butterbur.

Interesting.

Don't worry Diamond18, another Ted Sandyman has appeared! And a Sauron too! I'm off to try fishing for another answer. (EDIT: Changing just two questions, produced Sam. Quite a switch.)

As a rather fun side note, my daughter's result was Sam, and her best friend? Why Frodo, of course.

Actually, that's the percentage within your age group. I scored higher than 25% of other 21-year-olds.
