All right. It's time this Austen blog did something Austen again. Been a little too long since then, wouldn't you agree. I noticed this on Enchanted Serenity, so I took the quiz to see my results.

Further description:
You are Anne Elliot of Persuasion! Let's face it; you're easily persuaded, particularly when friends and relatives try to use "the Elliot way" against you. But this doesn't mean that you don't have conviction. Actually, your sense of duty is overwhelming. And though you won't stick your neck out too often, you have learned to speak up when it counts. To boot, you know how to handle sticky situations. You love deeply and constantly.
I love Anne. And Persuasion is my favorite Austen novel. And there are connections I definitely make with Anne. But easily persuaded? Am I? I've never really thought if I am or not. Now some of those questions I could see it was heading toward Anne. But there were a couple that I was a bit back and forth on. So I went back and changed them and got

You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest. You enjoy romantic poetry and novels, and play the pianoforte beautifully. To boot, your singing voice is captivating. You feel deeply, and love passionately.
What? Not her!!!! Oi. Then I think that these can be hard to answer for myself, because I don't see me as others do. And I'm curious if the results change if others answer.
So what do you
think of me?
And, even more fun, what did you
get for yourself?
And out of curiosity, I found
another Austen quiz that was much longer and a bit more interesting. The results were, well, surprising:
You Scored as Elinor DashwoodAs 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.
19% Lady Catherine?! I'd like to take offense as that!
What about you?

The first quiz said Elinor Dashwood. The second one kept telling me I hadn't answered all the questions. Hmm...
I've been trying to think of which Jane Austen character I most see you as and honestly I can't think of one. I see parts of you in several of the characters. I actually can see the Marianne in you. And a bit of Elinor. Not to mention some Anne.
I, too, see some Marianne in me. Unfortunately.
I can see Elinor for some of you.
I got Elizabeth Bennett on the first one and Elinor Dashwood on the 2nd. Truthfully, I can kind of see both. Good times.
Meredith--I can see that, too!
It seems a bit of Elinor is in all of us. If I can have an Edward like the one in the newest movie--I'm totally fine with that! :-)
