Roguish, and a Bit Quirky

Not that I would even use an online personality quiz to determine my worth, but I am shamelessly addicted to OK Cupid's tests. Granted, a lot of them are of the "How hot am I? How hot are you? Should we be fucking?" variety, but it's kind of hard to resist a "What muppet are you?" quiz when you have five minutes to kill.

The other day I found out which classic leading lady I most identify with:

Bette Davis 

You scored 36% grit, 43% wit, 38% flair, and 2% class! 

You’re one smart cookie, and you know it. You also know how to let everyone else know it. You are in charge and keep everyone in line with your biting wit and cutting remarks. You’re charming when you need to be, and the light sparkles behind your eyes. But when cornered, you can act, but quick, and you’ll do anything necessary. You’re always ready with just the right come-back, and you can be wilting. You go your own way and have your own, unique way of tackling life, which sometimes includes illegal activity. It’s not a great idea to cross you; you can cut down the competition with one well-chosen line, although that’s not all you have in your arsenal. Your leading mean include Errol Flynn and Paul Henreid, men who like a feisty gal.

Hmmm.  I love Bette Davis, but that description veers a little too close to "manic pixie dream girl" territory. Gritty, witty,  with just enough flair to get myself out of some "kooky predicament. Well hell, just cast me in the latest indie flick aside Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Just for kicks, I also took the "classic leading man test :"

William Powell 

You scored 21% Tough, 33% Roguish, 10% Friendly, and 38% 

Charming! You are the classic rogue, a stylish rake with the devil of a wit and a flair for mischief, and you shake your martinis to waltz time. You are charming and debonair, but slightly untrustworthy, and women should be on their guard. If married, you are simply a bit of a flirt, even if it’s just with your own wife…but if you’re single, watch out. You usually rein yourself in to concentrate on one lovely beauty at a time, but with you, we never know. You’re an inviting partner, but there’s a playful devil behind your eyes, and those trying to get close to you should know they’re playing with fire. You’re stylish and fun, but you follow your own course, which may or may not include a steady gal. Co-stars include Myrna Loy and Carole Lombard, classy ladies with an adventurous streak.

A stylish rogue with a flair for mischief? Watch out ladies. Even though this wasn't to be taken seriously, I couldn't help but answer each question the way I thought a man would answer. I also found myself getting ragey-feminist at some of the question, though the leading ladies test, while had me rolling my eyes a few times, didn't want to shove my fist through the computer screen.

Or maybe that's just my roguish side coming through.
