You are the scholarly type who likes finding out new things and reading books but you aren't a weakling either. You help make a difference in your community, which you serve loyally, by giving good advice to those who have the power to make a difference. You have a bad past/childhood which you try your best not to remember. You are resourceful and wise, willing to give up your desires for the benefit of the greater good.
...pretty accurate, except I am slightly more selfish
I am Sophos...but the result keeps changing as I answer the questions with a different mindset. Once I was Eddis, a couple of times I was Gen but this is the result I took most seriously.
You are shy person who has trouble voicing out the thoughts and opinions plaguing your heart and mind. You are very kind and caring, especially to those you care about. You are a good student but you aren't really into anything involving physical exertion. You are more used to listening to other but someday you'll have to take the reigns of your own horse and take matters into your own hands...with a little help of course.
I hate Facebook quizzes and usually block them the second they show up in my feed... but I couldn't resist this, of course. It was pretty well done, and grammatically correct, unlike most of these quizzes. My result, Irene, was interesting...
You are a beautiful, clever and a good ruler but you're apprehensive to trust anyone other than yourself. You try not to depend on people for fear that they might disappoint you when you need them most but there are a select few you choose to trust, those you may consider your friends. You tend to hide your emotions from others and keep secrets from others. You are quite a private person but you aren't afraid to let your disapproval or anger known even if you don't do it in a direct manner. One thing you have to remember though: if we truly trust no one we cannot survive.
Other than the leadership bit, I was surprised by how similar I am to Irene. Funny, since she's really not a favorite of mine, but that might be telling in-and-of itself ;-)
*facepalm* Way to confirm my badassery and my issues in ONE FELL SWOOP, FB.
Lol, just kidding. That wasn't half as annoying as I thought it would be. At least it didn't ask the infamous "favorite color question" *is a geek who has done this kind of thing WAY too many times*
Argh, locket, why are you doing this to me?!?! I don't do Facebook quizzes, but...but...I CAN'T RESIST THIS ONE!!
*totters off to find out what it tells her*
Survey says: Eddis You are a respected and loved leader, family member and friend who everyone depends on and trusts. You are kind and considerate but you are not afraid to do what you must to obtain the greater good, the safety and protection of you family or your people. People find you friendly and charismatic, these qualities make you a good friend. You are open-minded and know when to take the advice of others and you are humble enough seek help when you know you need it.
Hm... some things match, but others don't. Interesting. That was kinda fun. Thanks, locket darling!

You know, I'd be very interesting in the answer a certain Author/Oracle received from this quiz... although the answer would, perhaps, be obvious... ;-)
Yeah, so okay, I'm Sophos, which is fine. The one thing about this quiz being grammatically correct I take exception to is the line, "...someday you'll have to take the reigns of your own horse...". That should be "reins". This is a mistake I've been seeing alot lately. Hee! I guess that's more a spelling problem than grammar, huh? Funny that I'm Sophos. I do have an unfortunate blushing problem...;D
That's true, I missed that. There may have been more grammatical slip-ups as well, but overall it was so much better than the rest of the "wut color r u?" quizzes that I didn't notice anything else!
Having been sucked into the dark hole of facebook quizzes before, I caved...
I'm Costis!
You are a naive person who has a sense of honor as wide as a river. You serve your friends, family and leaders loyally, despite sometimes questioning their choices and actions. You tend to complain about some things but you always make it a point to give your all in everything you do. You are honest and refuse to diminish your integrity by lying or cheating for your own satisfaction instead of doing what's right.
I also noticed that it said "Take it over with your advisors" but I guess that's just a harmless typo. Anyone who loves the books will probably want to live up to the expectation of us fellow fans, I mean we have high standards.
I'm going to go see if I can convince the maker of this quiz to make more (would anyone like that?)...I'm going to post a very positive review on that discussion board.
"You are sneaky, secretive and stealthy but you never let anyone know exactly how good you are. You're loyal to your country but you serve it in your own special way, you never go by the book. You tend to irritate the people around you with your witty and taunting remarks but you can be very charming and charismatic when you want or need to be. You are also willing to make sacrifices for the people you really care about, even if you know you won't get anything in return.."
I got Costis, which works well enough, though I think I'm more of a Sophos. This was a pretty good quiz, for facebook. It's interesting how many of us were queens, and how few were Gen. Probably b/c most people over the age of 16 feel really uncomfortable proclaiming "I can do anything I want!". Though I guess that attitude won him a kingdom...
I got Helen, too! AND I'm going to publish my results even though I'm pretty sure I don't have anyone on my friends list that's read these books. *sigh*
Hey, you have to be that nice, TA. After all, you still talk to me. Even after I confused your gender, altered you user-name, inadvertently associated being in your country with getting chomped on by mythical beasts...
Wait... Why do I only embarrass myself when it comes to you?
