Now add up your scores…
If you got mostly ‘L’ you are Elizabeth Bennet.
You are spirited and quick-witted. You like nothing more than to be outdoors in the fresh air or at a lively ball, however, you are also able to enjoy your own company at home with a book. You are stubborn, but fair and loved by all those around you. You love to make jokes and laugh at nonsensical things,and tease people but you detest snobbery of any kind and won’t be patronised by people who think themselves superior to you. You are often too quick to judge people but you are not afraid to admit when you are in the wrong.

If you got mostly ‘M’ you are Marianne Dashwood.
You are passionate and have very strong emotions. You love nature and are aware of all beauty around you. You love music and literature with much enthusiasm. You often think yourself superior to the people around you and you often are so wrapped up in your own problems that you are oblivious to the world around you. You are a true romantic and believe that love can conquer all – you are persistent, forgiving, and when it comes to the crunch, you can be sensible.

If you got mostly ‘E’ you are Emma Woodhouse
You are such a busy-body and love nothing more than poking your nose into peoples’ business – your intentions are always good but you are inclined to believe that you are the best judge of every situation. You are clever and have a lively, active imagination which delights in match-making your closest friends. You are a wonderful, caring daughter and a loyal friend. Sometimes you speak before you think and it lands you in trouble. You love having your own way and hate being wrong, but you are of a happy disposition and never stay troubled for long.

If you got mostly ‘Y’ you are Lydia Bennet
The main object in your life is to have fun. You are a flirt and you love being in the centre of attention. You are happy, lively and good-humoured. You love dancing and going out, you hate having to stay at home in the evenings. You can get carried away and will please yourself at the expense of others. You don’t take into account other peoples’ feelings, as long as something makes you happy. You are spontaneous and energetic, but can be a bit of a gossip
