I am Marianne Dashwood as well. I actually had to answer a tie-breaker question to decide between Marianne and Fanny Price (?). I scored both at 90%! I am trying to remember who Fanny Price is? Should I be pleased or embarrassed by the resemblance??

I will have to go on a Jane Austen binge. I actually just checked out Emma and Mansfield Park from the library. Very timely.

Well then just a few years separate us ('69), and just 2 days (Jan. 12). I've always been told I'm very Capricorn. I don't see it.

I'm Elinor Dashwood at 80%, followed by Marianne Dashwood at 75%. I, too, wonder how so many of us came up close to both of those characters. In the book they come across as very different. Split personalities maybe?!


I had to go back and re-take the quiz to see my percentages because I didn't paste them into my post. (I couldn't get the information to fit in my template.)

I was 75% Marianne (again), followed by 70% Emma Woodhouse, then 65% Anne Elliot and 65% Elinor Dashwood ...

Really though I'd say we all have so many different facets to our personalities that the mixed results kind of make sense. Some of the questions I knew were geared toward a certain character (lucky guess=Emma; you feel obligated to take care of family=Elinor).

Perfect summer reading!

This is interesting. I was born on January 2, 68. Is there something about Marianne Dashwood and January babies????

October 28, I think that throws a wrench in the January theory!
