Scrolling up I noticed that Morthoron is 97% like Sauruman. That is a bit scary. Oh well, they say that chimpanzees share 97 % of our human DNA, and as far as I know no-one ever claimed Morth is a great ape because of that.

Now, now, Skip, if you'll notice I am 97% Saruman and 90% Gandalf, which, in looking at everyone else's scores, is way off the charts in either case (and makes no sense). It must be that I am simply Maiaric, whether good or bad.

Now, where did I put my staff? And may I have a banana?

Well... *ahem* I just retook it and came out as 97% Saruman this time myself .

Clearly, this test is hopelessly inaccurate!

Nah, I think you just don't want to be ranked with Saruman... *snickers and hurries away like a little kid*

But really, what is the basis of that thing? I can't believe they considered putting Legolas, considering how that not much developed his character is compared to, say, Frodo. Or was it because of the questions that asked if you think yourself tall, elegant, and an archer?

I can understand why I'm Frodo, but the rest of it doesn't fit, really.

PS. I think this thread should be moved to the "Middle-Earth Mirth" section because it is not a quiz in the same way as the Quiz Room quizzes. And this would probably also be enjoyed by people who never visit the Quiz Room.

You Scored as Samwise

You're Samwise Gamgee! Samwise the brave is the most loyal friend that you could ever ask for. He'll be there for you through thick and thin, and be willing to do anything for you. "There is some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."

75% Samwise
63% Gandalf
63% Aragorn
56% Arwen
44% Frodo
31% Pippen
19% Gollum
0% Faramir

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?

If nothing else, it's an interesting way to make oneself wonder

Here is my new one compared with my previous results, that is, from October 2007 and September 2008:

Galadriel
83% (Still in lead... interestingly in my previous tries went through 83->90 and now back to 83, but always the first place!)
Legolas
80% (Growing steadily. Used to be 63% for 3rd place -> 73% for 2nd place)
Samwise Gamgee
64% (used to be 67% on both tries, originally for 2nd place)
Arwen of Rivendell
63% (used to be 66% and 63%, originally for 3rd place after Sam)
Frodo Baggins
63% (growing slowly, was 53% and 60%)
Aragorn
57% (was 53% and 63%)
Saruman the White
43% (Fascinating, this is a similar trend as with Galadriel. Used to be 43% -> 47%)
Peregrin Took (Pippin)
43% (originally 47%, last time it randomly went to 70% but now it dropped back to "normal")
Gandalf the Grey
37% (whoops, what a drop, used to be 40%, later 53%)
Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry)
34% (used to be steadily 37%)
Gollum
30% (I am scared by the way how it grows, used to be 17%, 20%)
Gimli
27% (used to be 17%)
Boromir
27% (again a bit of a rollercoaster, went 30% -> 47%)
Eowyn of Rohan
17% (similar, 10% -> 23%)

Disappointment: Gandalf, Gollum. Quite happy with the, albeit slow, growth of Frodo; really interested about the reasons for the growth of Legolas. Interested about the "rollercoasters" (especially Pippin, Boromir).

So, after a year I took the quiz again and my results have somewhat changed although there are also some that have remained the same.

Whereas now the list is following:
Frodo Baggins 77%
Boromir 73%
Gimli 73%
Eowyn of Rohan 70%
Aragorn 70%
Saruman the White 63%
Gollum 63%
Arwen of Rivendell 60%
Peregrin Took (Pippin) 60%
Gandalf the Grey 60%
Samwise Gamgee 57%
Legolas 53%
Galadriel 50%
Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry) 33%

Frodo's leap on the top of my list is more or less understandable since he has become one of my favourite characters only during the last year. I don't know if that's happened because I've found more Frodo-traits in me or if I've just unconsciously taken him for a role model now or whatever, but I don't really mind reminding him anyway. On the other hand, I'm also more like Boromir and Gimli than I used to be.

I don't quite understand why Éowyn and Arwen scored that well since I don't think I remind either of them. Well, I have some of Éowyn's childish stubborness, but that's all.

Also, compared to last year, Gollum's score is quite interesting. He used to be among those I remind the least, but now he has as many points as my third option had a year ago.

All right, you made me wonder too. The results are... interesting, again, in that they have changed in some things, but not in all.

Galadriel

Legolas

Samwise Gamgee

Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry)
37%
Eowyn of Rohan
23%
Gollum
20%
Gimli
17%

So, I am more of Galadriel than I used to be (and nowadays it's quite a lot). I lost Samwise & Arwen to Legolas and Pippin (resp. my Samwise percentage remained the same, but the others got more points), who still surprises me, now even more than the year before because he's among the top three. What's Pippin except the fact that he's "fool of a Took"? He's maybe young, cheerful, and silly... ah. I see. Okay, in that case I have no complaints.
Otherwise, I can see slight growth (about 5-10%) with Aragorn, Gandalf (significant - he outrun Saruman), however the most with Éowyn who used to be the last (mere 10%) and now she outrun both Gimli and Gollum. And overall, the only person who lost some percentage was Arwen. Fine.

Or am I? *shifty eyes*

I might re-take the test and see If I can be a 100 % like Arwen. That should be quite a challenge considering how little we know about her personality. Not now though...

Good quiz. I figure I got pretty much the average results, which should be pretty much right.
Mm, mm... History books, though. I think I squeaked when I saw that question.

It is just like in the movies. . .Arwen the usurper has taken Glorfindel's place
Actually it is fairly accurate Gandalf and Galadriel is the two characters I consider my favourits.

If there is any major suprises, then it is that Sam is not at the very bottom and that Gollum is so high on the list.

Istari and Elves are my thing, not that I don't find human, hobbits and dwarves interesting.
Rohan is also very interesting, but Theoden is the only character of Rohan that I find just a bit interesting.

Somehow I wasn't all that surprised about what I scored as....although I didn't think it would be a tie......Actually I was hoping for Aragorn or Eowyn...the two that I personally think should be together.

So I've done this too at last and it turns out I'm...
*drumroll*
Merry.

Well yes, I can certainly live with that (must have been the "Nothing beats a good history book"). Pippin comes second, and the rest of the Fellowship hobbits in the upper half as well, along with Legolas (what's that militant non-smoker doing there?), Gandalf (more like it, if a bit too flattering) and Arwen (where did that come from?). I'm certainly not much of a Boromir or Aragorn, and I do have a wee bit of Gollum in me (at least my wife says so). So yeah, fits.
