What kind of reader are you?

I'm a good citizen, apparently. :salute: What Kind of Reader Are You? (http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_kind_of_reader_are_you)

I scored as a Book Snob. But I'm not. Honest. I just didn't answer some of the questions because they just didn't fit me at all. :(

I mean, sheesh, they put The Name Of The Rose and The da Vinci Code in the same group, like they could even compare with each other. WTF?

OK, so maybe I'm a little bit of a snob.

Ainorite?! I picked that option because I'd read all the books on the list. I haven't read Moby Dick so I couldn't pick the classics one.

OK, so maybe I'm a little bit of a snob.
:chestram:

[Shelli]

I took the quiz but there were a couple/few questions that just didn't have answers that fit me. :dunno:

So, to summarize my reading interests; I have piles of non-fiction and fiction books throughout the house. Lately, however, I've been doing most of my reading, which has been non-fiction for awhile now, on the net. :pclove:

[Clutch Munny]

Literate good citizen.

I thought quite a few of the questions didn't have accurate answers for me, especially 4, 6, 7 and 9. For instance, I read everything -- history, biography, novels, classics, reference, texts... you name it. The either-or options of question 7 just missed me.

[livius drusus]

Ditto. Also, I'm not a total bitch about stuff like Cliff Notes. I might have used them to cover up for homework shanking in high school had I lived in the country in which they are published, but I didn't so I didn't. No big whup.

I'm supposedly a Literate Good Citizen too, which means the test is unreliable.

[Crumb]

I hate questions with no right answer. They should always have an option for none of the other answers being correct.

[Ymir's blood]

I hate questions with no right answer. They should always have an option for none of the other answers being correct.I didn't answer one of the questions and it gave a result anyway.

[Adora]

I can't answer question #6 so I can't take the quiz.

Your Result: Dedicated Reader


You are always trying to find the time to get back to your book. You are convinced that the world would be a much better place if only everyone read more.

[ceptimus]

According to the test, I'm also a literate good citizen.

Several of those questions needed a 'none of the above' option, if I was supposed to answer truthfully.

[Julie]

Im an obsessive compulsive bookwork...and I resemble that remark!

Hell my kids think I need a book in my hand to sleep...and I buy my coats based on weather I can get a book in the pockets...but I'm not a huge grammar nazi.

It fits me pretty well but some of the questions just didn't do for me, as usual for all online quizes, so take its assessment of me with a grain of salt.

[Petra]

Like Adora, I got to question 6 and couldn't answer, so quit at that point.

But I already know what kind of reader I am: I was a voracious reader when I was younger, and I'm [shamefully] a lazy reader now that I've discovered the internets.

[Dingfod]

I scored as a Book Snob. But I'm not. Honest. I just didn't answer some of the questions because they just didn't fit me at all. :(

I mean, sheesh, they put The Name Of The Rose and The da Vinci Code in the same group, like they could even compare with each other. WTF?

OK, so maybe I'm a little bit of a snob.

They got me all wrong!:yeahthat:

Seriously. I am not a book snob just because I read one book at a time. I may not read as much now as I did in the past, but I do read books covering a wide-variety of subjects and genres, fiction and non-fiction.

I never bought a Cliff's Notes in my life but that doesn't mean I didn't write a book report based on the summary on the book jacket. I did learn that doesn't generally work out all that well.

mindRead mine now.

And ditto to all the comments about the answers sucking because often none of them fit.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Despite really crappy answers and one question I had to skip altogether, I came out a dedicated reader. Okay.

[Ensign Steve]

The choices are stupid and pompous.


5. How many books are you currently reading?
- I only read one at a time, so I can give it all my attention.
- I've lost track.
- I'm in the middle of a few non-fiction books, a novel, and one of those classics I've always meant to get to.
- How can you be reading more than one book at a time?
- I'm reading mostly periodicals right now, as I don't have time to get into a novel.

My answer: 2.
