Which character are you most like?

[Robin]

Do you take the tests repeatedly, I only got an Emma Woodhouse.

[Princess Katie, the Random Hot Pink Minotaur]

You Scored as Emma Woodhouse
Emma is possibly one of the most loyal characters of Austen, always wanting better for those around her and doing all she possibly can to make it happen. Her motives sometimes get in the way of her good intentions and her own opinions can end up ruling her actions, but she has a good heart. She loves to be social and is welcoming to most, unless they are too silly to tolerate. While she sometimes changes her behavior to make others feel comfortable, she knows who she is and is always bettering herself.

For a change, I think that I am pretty happy with my results from one of these kind of quizzes...

[Robin]

Yours look superb! Thanks for the kind words, I do what I can to rise up to the challenge.LOL

[Regine]

I've always thought myself as a combination of Elizabeth and Lydia Bennet.

[Sandysconnected]

This may seem like a cop out, but a little bit of all, for too many reasons to list! This is a great discussion post, by the way!

[Regine]

I took the quiz.

I am most like like Elizabeth Bennet (70%) and Emma Woodhouse (66%).

[Stephanie]

I see myself like Mary Bennet, but the test thinks different:

Elizabeth Bennet

Elinor Dashwood

You Scored as Elinor Dashwood
As Marianne's older sister, Elinor lives at the other end of the emotional spectrum. She rarely reveals her intense feelings and is more concerned with being honest and loyal than having what she deserves. Even though her intentions are pure, she sets herself up for loss by constantly placing other people before her own needs. Overall, Elinor is gentle and rational but is just as capable of radical emotions (despite her withholding them) as her sister.

I wasn't expecting this result at all! A friend of mine once (quite accurately) described me as being Elinor Dashwood with a hint of Catherine Morland!

Hello everyone, this is my first post, I am new to Goodreads.
My result was Elinor, which I would agree with. I am reserved and rational. I love how Elizabeth is right behind Elinor in the %'s, Elizabeth is my favorite character and my daughter's name!

Welcome to Goodreads and to the group :) We hope you have a great time. I also got Elinor, she is one of my favorite characters in Austen's books.

Hi Kim. Welcome to the group! We all look forward to hearing what you have to say!

Hey Lyndsay! Thanks for posting!This quiz is very fun and tends to make people think. I was a "tie" with the tie-breaker question leaning to Ms. Bennet. Good fun and thanks for sharing your results! Nice to "see" you!

As someone who would rather see the good in people, Jane is a true pacifist and caregiver. At times, her shy temperament and naive outlook of people can land her in a compliant position, but those who know her love her for her positive spirit and cheerful view of what surrounds her.

What a great quiz. Thank you. Lots of fun. I came out as Elinor Dashwod closely followed by Charlotte Lucas, which is surprisingly accurate I think.

[Robin]

I love this question! I took the quiz. I am most like Eizabeth Bennet! I do let my heart decide and I am fiercly loyal. I do judge people by there whole character though and not by first impressions.

I mostly agree with my results. I have always thought that I am like Marianne Dashwood just maybe not as outgoing as her. I am like Emma too, I like setting people up. I think everyone can relate to Elizabeth in one way or another. Fun quiz!

[Chelsea]

I have a good idea! You know that picture of the person you got the highest result of that they display at the end of the quiz? I am going to set that as my display picture here on Goodreads :) Anyone else want to do that?

I too am allegedly an Elizabeth Bennett, which is not something I ever would have picked. (Not that I'm complaining though!) My quiz results:

Elizabeth Bennet 75%
Elinor Dashwood 72%
Emma Woodhouse 47%
Jane Bennet 41%
Charlotte Lucas 38%
Marianne Dashwood 25%
Lady Catherine 16%

I am a little concerned about the total absence of Anne Elliotts and Fanny Prices. It can't just be that there are no women out there gentle enough (Anne) or passive enough (Fanny)to count. Do you think maybe the person who developed the quiz hasn't read Persuasion or Mansfield Park?

[[deleted user]]

I would say I'm like Elinor Dashwood or Elizabeth Bennet (as is everyone else it seems)

And wow, I just realized this is a really old thread! Why is my Goodreads telling me these are new posts? That's confusing.

[[deleted user]]

Kim, I haven't read Persuasion and I've noticed most people read Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and maybe Mansfield Park. At least, that's what I've learned by talking to others.

Plus Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility both have movie adaptations. Maybe that influences something?

It is a pretty old thread, but I only just got around to looking at it! I think that both Lizzie and Elinor are women with personalities that 21st century young women can identify with. Anne Elliott and Fanny Price - not so much.

Elisa - you really should read Persuasion when you have the chance. It is absolutely my favourite Jane Austen and pretty much my favourite novel full-stop! Although not as sparkling as P and P or Emma, it is very romantic and very funny in parts and contains quite the most beautiful letter in literature.

[[deleted user]]

Kim, I think you're right. Most women these days marry for love and follow their passions because they can. Prudence and logic isn't exactly the young adult motto.

I will have to look into that for sure. Add it to my list of Austen books to read before I die. Haha.

[Patty]

Anne Elliott!

Can anyone explain me what's Elinor Dashwood's character is like? I haven't watched the movie in FOREVER and plus it wasn't my favorite either.

[Maggie]

Yeah! Elizabeth Bennet!

[Larissa]

Elinor Dashwood is sensible and wise. She is polite, even to her awful sister in law, and is good at hiding her feelings.

It seems Elinor, Elizabeth, Marianne, Jane, Emma, Charlotte and Lady Catherine are the only characters this quiz evaluates you against. Everyone seems to have the same characters in their answers.

[Mimi]

Interesting. How are Emma and Elizabeth alike? Both outgoing, think they're right, want others to be happy but not self-sacrificing, not too afraid of others but don't want to hurt other people's feelings.

thanks a whole lot...whose her hero? you know the guy she ends up with?

[Sophie]

I normally get Lizzy - yay :D - and sometimes i get Marianne... which is strange. they aren't similar i wouldn't say?
though i think anyone who wants to be like an Austen character will look, and find, similarities enough to say they are like them ;) im certain i do!
