Now, summon up your answers and find out which of the Ghosts is most like you.

If you answered mostly A: You’re Thorfinn!

You are courageous, strong, and, of course, Tough as Nails. You also enjoy a good party, so go easy on the mead! Beneath all the bluster (that may scare off some), you’re a kind, sensitive, and loyal friend.

If you answered mostly B: You’re Sasappis!

At once creative and traditional, cynical and sensitive, funny and serious, you are above all a seeker of truth whose keen observations of the world around you have provided you with unusual wisdom, balance, faith, gratitude, and empathy. You are an old soul who remains young at heart.

If you answered mostly C: You’re Hetty!

You’ve been through a lot and have some emotional scars to show for it—but you’ve endured, learned, and grown along the way. Your scars have come to represent healing and are now emotional entry points into the lives and experiences of others. As a result, you are a protective friend and reliable confidant whose learned optimism provides a light of hope for others.

If you answered mostly D: You’re Isaac!

Despite your natural shyness, you have grasped the eternal value of emotional honesty, being who you are and letting those you love know it. While you may seem aloof to some, when you commit—whether it’s to your country, a friend, or a life partner—you do so because you mean it.

If you answered mostly E: You’re Alberta!

You overcome the obstacles in front of you through sheer gusto and a zest for life. You put it all out there for the world to see and hear. You use what you’ve got, and you bump it with a trumpet. Your positive energy is contagious. You’re also nobody’s fool, victim, or social project. All you’re asking the world to do is to get out of your way. You know you’ve got the goods (a.k.a. talent) to shine. The world’s a stage and you’re a star.

If you answered mostly F: You’re Flower!

You’re idealistic, fun-loving, and, despite being anti-authority, sometimes a bit naïve—but that’s just because you choose to see the good in ordinary people. You give more than you take, which is how you prefer it. Yet, despite your open-book demeanor, there are more facets to you than the most intricate blossom. Infinitely interested and interesting is an apt description of you.

If you answered mostly G: You’re Pete!

You’re trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Why, you’re a regular Boy (or Girl) Scout! You are, in fact, nostalgic for the days when the rules of right and wrong were a bit clearer, our entertainment was a bit cleaner, and people just seemed a bit nicer. You, of course, realize that the good old days weren’t really so good for everyone. What you’d like to see is a world where those old-fashioned values are nurtured and applied in a way that inclusively opens the doors of happiness to all.

If you answered mostly H: You’re Trevor!

F-U-N. To the casual observer that single word more or less sums you up. You’re the life of the party with a literally skin-deep view of the world. At least that’s how others often see you. But you can’t always judge a magazine by its centerfold. While some of your attitudes could no doubt use some updating, you know that you are deeper than your devil-may-care image. The truth is that, when cornered, you prefer virtue over vice, are not at all comfortable with cheap laughs at someone else’s expense, and are prone toward kindness. Since you’re also uncomfortable with schmaltz and moralism, you may find that embarrassing—but live with it. You’re a good person.
