C A T H E R I N E ::

"You are Catherine Morland of Northanger Abbey! You love a good Gothic romance - so much, in fact, that you'll fool yourself into thinking you're living one! You are imaginative and naive, which is at once endearing and perplexing. perhaps your heart is TOO pure...but it is adventurous. After all, you love a trip to Bath or a stay at an ancient Abbey."

Okay, Robert...so is this good?

Pearl:

This is scary accurate! Sheesh, saves money on therapy.

I am Marianne Dashwood! That was so fun!

Joannah:

Is that what you would have guessed about yourself?

In your suggestions above -- Will you be...? -- I read Fanny Price as Fanny Brice. I know what Fanny Brice was all about, but not Ms. Price. Were those two anything alike in character?

Pearl:

They could no be more different. Fanny Price considers theatre quite wicked.

No, not at all! I would have expected to be an Elizabeth Barrett type. Guess I don't know myself as well as I think I do... ;-)

all women think they're like Lizzy Bennet - apparently including Keira Knightly who played her in the movie

Great quiz! I'm Elinor Dashwood.

"You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a little to vocal in your honesty. You enjoy romantic poetry and novels, and play the pianoforte beautifully. To boot, your singing voice is captivating. You feel deeply, and love passionately." Interesting....

Mata Hari:

So, who did you turn out to be?

Tamara, Melissa:

Look at that, you are sisters.

The test says I'm Elinor Dashwood, but I'm really more like Elizabeth Bennet (didn't I say everyone feels that way?)

-MH

Mata Hari:

Another Dashwood sister. But deep down, really Lizzy. Gotcha.

I got about halfway through the questions before giving up. I decided you simply can't meaningfully map a male personality onto female categories. But then that probably should have been obvious.

Is there a quiz for JA heroes? Or is "JA heroes" an oxymoron? Hate to say this, but I've only read one Jane Austen novel, in high school, because I had to, and I didn't care for it.

Hey Pearl, we're soul sisters - I'm also "Catherine Moreland." But I don't know - I've got a pretty intellectual and reasonable side, I think. Maybe I'm a cross between Catherine and the much-coveted designation of Elizabeth Bennett. What do you think, Robert?

Kent:

I have not seen a test for Austen heroes. And no, not an oxymoron. Glad to see that your new site is up. Looks magnificent. Have to set aside lots of time to explore it.

Sara:

These tests do not do well cross-pollinating personalities. They are an either/or business--which makes them either fun or infuriating. What do I think, I think you're a bit of Lizzie, but not as much as you would like. Who is save the fictional Lizzie?
