Online Personality Quizzes

[melannen]

I have been spending today thinking about the scenario of "What if my favorite characters took online 'who are you' personality quizzes based on people in their universe?"

It started with Vorkosigan, for which we decided that Emperor Gregor never, ever gets Emperor Gregor in "Which Barrayaran Emperor Are You?" quizzes. (Ivan Vorpatril always gets Emperor Gregor. Miles is incapable of taking one without deliberately manipulating the answers to his advantage, even if he tries not to.)

Meanwhile, Poe Dameron always gets Leia in "Which Hero Of the Rebellion Are You" quizzes. Even if he has to get BB-8 to slice in and change the results. (BB-8 is already in there fixing things to get K-2SO, so this is no extra trouble.)

Steve Rogers absolutely never gets Captain America in "Which Avenger Are You?" quizzes, although one time he got Falcon and Sam got Captain America, and Steve bragged about this for a week straight.

Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne always gets Batman on Justice League ones. He would suspect Oracle of somehow cheating to make sure this happens, except he knows enough about computers to know that this isn't actually possible, and also it even happened on the air-gapped, built-for-purpose machine with the quiz he wrote himself for the sole purpose of not getting Batman because this is becoming a security issue, Alfred. (Clark Kent does not take them unless they have Lois Lane as a superhero option, and if they do have Lois Lane as an option he always gets Lois Lane.)

What would your favorite characters get if they took character quizzes? Do you agree with my assessments? If they're famous enough that they are an option the quiz, or if they are nerdy enough that someone in their friend group made it for their friend group, that is extra fun. Bonus if you discuss why or write out some of the actual quiz questions and which option they pick!

Jaime Lannister gets Stark so many times in “Which Westerosi Great House do you belong in?” that he convinces himself the quiz is broken and only has one possible answer, until he looks over Brienne’s shoulder just in time to see hers come up Dayne and then he has to go punch trees with his left hand for a while.

No matter how many different ways Petyr Baelish tries to get Tully it keeps coming up Tyrell and a couple of times Frey. He pretends he doesn’t know what Sansa’s talking about when she brings up the quiz. (When she was young she always got Baratheon, but since King’s Landing she’s always Stark.)

Robb mostly used to get Tully and occasionally Targaryen, while Jon got Stark every single time. Even after he’s known the truth for 40 years and been living in the south for decades, he STILL gets Stark.

Tyrion always comes up Targaryen, but that’s only because he wrote the quiz when he was 14, and the picture that goes with it is a pale-haired dwarf riding a dragon that he commissioned using his father’s gold. (After Tywin came up Reyne he hired hackers to track down the quiz’s author, but they never got close.)

When Danaerys gets Lannister she threatens to have Tyrion executed, and he laughs so hard he snorts wine out what remains of his nose.

Arya gets a 404 Error.

...I have forgotten who the Reynes are, if I ever knew, but yes to the rest of this based on a vague memory of the first three books and reading a bunch of Jaime/Brienne fic.

Especially the bit where teenage Tyrion commissioned fanart of himself riding a dragon.

The Reynes are the house Tywin destroyed (cf Rains of Castamere). Tywin doesn’t actually fit there, Tyrion just coded it that way to piss off his dad.
