SURVEY

A friend of mine sent me this, so I thought I'd just do it here, since I haven't done one for a while. - OlderMusicGeek


Welcome to the new 2010 edition of getting to know your family and friends. Here is what you are supposed to do: Change all the answers so that they apply to you. Then, send this to a bunch of people you know, INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. Some of you may get this several times; that means you have lots of friends. The easiest way to do it is to hit 'forward' so you can change the answers or copy and paste. Have fun and be truthful!

PERSONALITY TYPE:
Which Character From A Christmas Carol Are You?

Which character from A Christmas Carol are you?
#1 equals your best match. The longer the green graph bar, the better the match.

My #1 is:
Tiny Tim: Cratchit's crippled son, Tiny Tim represents the overwhelming goodness of the Christmas spirit.

My #2 is:
Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come: The last ghostly visitor. This solemn, silent phantom represents death, but also the presents the possibility that the future is not determined, but open to the free will of humans. The Ghost does not speak; it simply leads Scrooge from scene to scene, pointing finally to an unkempt and ignored gravestone.

My #3 is:
Ebenezer Scrooge (after the dream): Renowned for his kindliness and generosity, and keeping the spirit of Christmas all year long. After his reform, Scrooge becomes a second father to Tim.

My #4 is:
Bob Cratchit: Scrooge long suffering employee. A timid man more afraid to be unemployed than he is of the demanding Scrooge. He is the patriarch of a materially poor family, but rich with love.

My #5 is:
Fezziwig: The good-natured, much loved businessman for whom young Scrooge apprenticed.
