Oh, for heaven's sake!

tejas, cleothemuse, and delphia2000 have already done this one.

I can't say I'm surprised; is it bad that I'm disappointed? I can think of lots of fictional characters I'd rather be! Maybe the problem is that this one is who I fear I could become:

The text on the results page, which doesn't appear here, says, "A focused advisor whose actions are dictated by almost pure logic, you believe in exploring the fascinating possibilities around you.
"Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Or the one, I might add.

I keep hearing that some of my students find me intimidating. I learn this on anonymous evaluations and from students who come and say, "So-and-so wants to come see you, but...." I have two chairs for students in my office because some like to come in pairs, and others will only come if a friend accompanies them. I've tried telling my students that I haven't eaten any visitors to my office yet, but I get nervous laughs, at best.

I think my students think I'm Spock, despite my high enthusiasm, sometimes high-speed exhortations about why Beowulf is great or Bede rocks or Chaucer is the hoopiest frood of the whole Middle Ages. (Or maybe it's because I sometimes say things like "hoopy frood" in class, which wins over a small percentage of students wholeheartedly and alienates many of the rest. I try to stop myself.)

Why couldn't I get Marcus (from Babylon 5) like tejas did? I love Marcus! Or Picard? Or Gandalf? Or Daniel? I don't know if he's in the quiz, but I really feel a kinship to Daniel: highly rational and highly emotional by turns, (almost) always deeply caring.
