
Mostly A's: You are most like Gimli. You are stout, incredibly stubborn, and extremely loyal. You wield a hefty battle axe and are by no means afraid to use it. People can be frightened of your rough ways, so be sure to show them you have gentler feelings. And don't drink too much ale. (;

Mostly B's: You are most like Aragorn. You are silent but powerful and fast. Born to be a leader, you make the right decision (most of the time) and you are very observant. People look up to you, but sometimes you work too hard and need to know when to take a break.

Mostly C's: You are most like Frodo. You are very brave and always do what is best for your friends. You are resilient and resist things that would tempt other people. Be careful, though. Sometimes you make snap-decisions and jump to wrong conclusions. And also: Watch out for spider webs!

Mostly D's: You are most like Eowyn. You are determined to prove yourself and aren't afraid to break the rules. People like your free spirit and kind heart. Sometimes, though, you are reckless and act without weighing the consequences (which can be a good thing—but not usually).

Mostly E's: You are most like Saruman. You can be cunning and manipulative. You possess special talents and a voice that can convince weak minds to do your bidding. Be careful, you are easily corrupted by absolute power.

Mostly F's: You are most like Gollum. You are very sneaky and sly. You will do anything to get what you want and are constantly battling two halves of yourself. Please, take a moment and rethink your life.

Mostly G's: You are most like Legolas. You are nimble, quick, and skilled. You always keep your cool, no matter what is thrown at you. Your friends rely on your sharp eyes. Sometimes you are impersonal and fenced off from people—you lack immediate friendliness.

Mostly H's: You are most like Boromir. People admire your strength and noble heart. You would die for your friends and your country. You possess a patriotic spirit like no other's. Sometimes you can be too proud to ask for help. (Asking for help is not a show of weakness).

Mostly I's: You are most like Gandalf. You are incredibly wise and always look out for the people around you. People can rely on you to get them out of a tight spot. You listen carefully to the advice of your elders—sometimes too blindly.

Mostly J's: You are most like Arwen. You are gentle and very beautiful. People respect you and are drawn to your innocence. You have power but you rarely use it for yourself. Sometimes you are too emotional when you need to take a deep breath and act decisively

Mostly K's: You are most like Sauron. Master of all things evil, you have an uncontrollable desire to rule the entire world. You will not rest until everyone is your slave. Do everyone a favor and start seeing a counselor. Your life and goals need to be remade.

I am most like Legolas, next is Boromir, and last (but certainly not least), Aragorn!

lol

Lol! :P

Didn't take the test, but I pretty sure I'm Sauron.

And we're totally Gollum!

Didn't take the test, but I pretty sure I'm Sauron. *And we're totally Gollum!*

sputters and coughs "gollum, gollum!"

wow this thing is AWESOME!! LOL and accurate.. lol
I'm the most like Eowyn then Arwen and Gimli, then I had one for Gollum, Aragorn, Frodo, and Gandalf. lol

Didn't take the test, but I pretty sure I'm Sauron. *And we're totally Gollum!*

yeah lol

I'm most like Arwen (5 answers), then Legolas (3 answers), then Eowyn, Boromir, and Gandalf (1 answer each). Of course, I've never read or watched LOTR, so I have absolutely no idea who any of these people are. :-P

lol that makes it more interesting. lol

I'm most like Legolas (5), next comes Eowyn (2), and then Boromir, Gandalf, and Arwen (1). I was kinda surprised that the Legolas description described me pretty well, except maybe the last part. I was also surprised that the second person I'm closest to is a girl. :P

uuhhhh…. lol

1. Gollum.
2. Boromir.
3. Legolas.
4. Aragorn.
5. Gimli.
6. Boromir.
7. Legolas.
8. Frodo.
9. Gimli.
10. Gimli.

So, I'm most like Gimli (3), then Boromir and Legolas (2), and I'm slightly like Gollum, Aragorn, and Frodo. :D

I thought I was like Arwen before I took this… Thanks for confirming my suspicion!

I got all J's- I even live in a large peaceful house near a river! XD

I am Laiqualassë… why doesn't that surprise me??

1: Saruman
2: Legolas
3: Boromir
4: Eowyn
5: Legolas
6: Legolas
7: Boromir
8: Legolas
9: Frodo
10: Legolas
11: Gimli
Legolas 5; Boromir 2; Saruman, Eowyn, Frodo, Gimli, 1.

I am NOT supposed to be here, but happened to see it…and since I've gotten a lot done today…I have time to quickly.

1: G
2: G
3: D
4: D
5: D
6: G
7: I
8: D (couldn't decide…but I am slightly claustrophobic, and although that's taking it out of context, that's the closest I could get)
9: D
10: B
11: D

I am the most like Eowyn (6), much to my surprise. Then Legolas (3); then Aragorn (1) and Gandalf (1). Pretty pleased with the turn out…mostly because I was hoping I wouldn't be anything like Gollum or Arwen. :P Gotto go now…

Why what's wrong with Arwen? :P lol

She hates Arwen in the movies. :P

WHY?! Just cause she is emotional cause her heart is like breaking???????????? FACEDESK lol

Basically because she's just a mega-lame, overly romantic character. :P

FACEPALM lol

Basically because she's just a mega-lame, overly romantic character. :P

Translation: She's just way too girly and doesn't fight.

Rosie doesn't like Arwen 'cuz Arwen's the 'hot girl' of the series. :P

FACEDESK FACEDESK FACEDESK

Who are you, Carissa? Next thing y'know, you'll only be on for a half hour too! :P

DON'T SAY THAT!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Apparently I am predicting the future. It's nice to know Noah's not the only one with that ability here. :P

Lol! Hahahahaha! Legolas….

Not allowed on Pinterest… facepalm

Not allowed on Pinterest... *facepalm*

You're not alone.

:(

Apparently I am predicting the future. It's nice to know Noah's not the only one with that ability here. :P

We are brothers in the brotherhood of assassins

@Danielle: Are just trying to get me on here?? 'Cause I really shouldn't be! But, Nicolas is right…I cannot stand Arwen in the movies!! She is an overly romantic, emotional wreck! No offense to Arwen-fans. The scene that I'm fine with is at the beginning, when she's trying to get Frodo to Rivendell and is being chased by the Ringwraiths on horseback. Now I am leaving - try not to make me come back on…

1: Saruman
2: Legolas
3: Boromir
4: Frodo
5: Aragorn
6: Frodo
7: Legolas
8: Legolas
9: Frodo
10: Aragorn
11: Gimli

So I'm Legolas or Frodo… :)

Since we seem to be debating Arwen right now…I'm not really a fan of her either. Too romantic, and kinda wimpy, if you ask me. Doesn't know her own mind. Also…she really should listen to her Dad. just sayin'.

I really don't like her, either, except for the fact that she is an elf.

LOL!
