Hector. Everyone knows you're a great asset to the team. Hard-working, resilient, always ready to take the next setback on the nose and get right back into the fray. Some might say you suffer from a slight lack of imagination. You should also know that the nice guy never prospers

Hah, The answers are quite funny.

Guilty as charged!

Paris. Your mind's not really on the job, is it? Sometimes a person has to put aside the hottie on the fourth floor and concentrate on the task in hand. Until you learn this, you'll never be popular

hmm....

Odysseus. Mercurial in the extreme, it's evident to all concerned that you're not really committed to the cause. Nobody can deny your ingenuity in a crisis, however, and you never lose your head. Don't expect anyone to turn their back on you, though

quote:

Achilles. You're a good person to have around on the rare occasions you're ready to do some work, but you have volatility issues. Your willingness to enlist the help of your mum won't win you any friends, either

Hmm... lots of Hectors around here...

What the heck does " comes a cropper" mean?



.:[ Never resist a perfect moment ]:.

Make room for another Hector

:::tao::: ::cell::

[edit] bitdamaged, to "come a cropper" means to fail or have a heavy fall or tumble, see Cropper
You could also say that Bayer has "come a cropper" when they announced the withdrawal of the only GM crop with (partial) commercial approval. see Bayer Come a Cropper

Hector

After submitting my answers 10 times or so, I'm...

No one.

Didn't give me a character.

Skaarjj, it doesn't mean you're no one, just means you're in a different Greek epic poem...

I'm paris... ;-)

Hector

Wow

"You know you have been doing 3d too long when you walk into a church and think, "God, the polycount of this place must be huge!"

So what, are there like only four different characters? I'd better go check this out...

[Edit: Holy unimaginative personality quizzes, Batman. I got to the second question and gave up because there is no point. Not only are there obviously only four characters, but the outcome of the quiz is obvious from the start. They even put the answers in the same order each time, and use the same wording (How many times do you have to read "Take it on the nose" to realize something is rotten in Denmark?)! I mean, why bother?

Why yes, I am feeling ornery today. Thank you for noticing. ]
