Proof that Lord of the Rings fans spend way too much free time on-line: a Lord of the Rings personality test based on the Myers-Briggs/Keirsey personality tests, which finds correlations between your personality and personalities in Tolkien's novel (not Peter Jackson's film version).

My results are as follows:

Galadriel, the Lady of Lorien

Like many elves, Galadriel has a rich inner life and a level of mystery. Although elves say both yes and know [sic] when sought for counsel, their insight is valuable. She has exceptional empathic abilities.

You are likely to be quiet, and gentle, enjoying helping other people grow and realize their potential. Others may view you as mystical. Time alone is important and solitary activities refresh you. You have a tendency to introspection. While providing compassion and being considerate, you may have the tendency of being soft-hearted or even "too emotional" You try to schedule your life as much as possible. You tend to finish your work before resting.

The Orcs display the evil side of this personality with their lengthy torture methods.

Traits: Empathic, benevolent, looking to the future. On the dark side you could be sadistic.

I made my younger sister take the quiz; she's like Denethor. She's also a music nerd.

Afterthoughts
I can't believe I forgot to mention it: I am so proud of my little brother right now! Tonight I took in his performance as Marius in the local high schools' production of the school version of Les Miserables. He was SO good. I'm just so proud of him.
