Have you considered making an interactive version of the quiz, such as this one?

Wow, i just ordered three copies at amazon…
Already the title is delightful. I am most sure the book will raise my spirits and give me occupation in an idle hour!!

Oh goody! I’m a Heroine. Score of 24. ^_^

I ended up with 20… Of course, for the questions I was waffling on, I was trying to decide between the 5 pointer and another one. Unfortunately, I chose the other one… My wife took the quiz and got 23. Good to know I married a heroine.

Yay! I got 24 points making me a heroine!
I would have been vastly contented with being an ingenue, I mean how can you go wrong when you’re compared to Jane Bennet and Jane Fairfax?

I scored 23.
June 2nd, 2007 at 2:34 pm
23- I’m a heroine! That made my day, though I would have been perfectly happy being an ingenue.
June 2nd, 2007 at 3:37 pm
I got 24 too! Hooray!
June 2nd, 2007 at 10:30 pm
24…that makes me a heroine too. Looks like I’ll be buying a copy of the book. It looks interesting already.
