I'm a lion

I ran across this Narnia quiz — Are You a Lion or a Witch? — on Beliefnet.com. I scored 102 out of 120, which according to the rating scale, makes me Aslan.

As someone who loves the Narnia series and knows who Aslan represents, I actually feel a little uncomfortable with the results of this quiz. I think I'm probably more Lucy than Lion. I would have even been content to wind up as Mr. Tumnus. Of course, my heart desires to become more and more Christlike, but I have a hard time believing I've come close enough just yet. Hey, I know that I'm not always unselfish and thinking of others before myself! But thankfully, I'm not so bad I turned out to be the witch.

Anyway, go take the quiz if you've got a few minutes and let me know your results.

---

According to the site, here is how to interpret the scores:

0 - 20    
You live for yourself and have little inclination to help others. Your main goals in life are fulfilling your own desires, and pursuing power and material things. You are the White Witch, who enslaves Narnia and forbids its inhabitants to celebrate Christmas.

21 - 50    
Your instincts are good overall, but you are easily tempted to focus on yourself at the expense of others. You can be impulsive and not think through the consequences of pursuing what you want. You are Edmund, who mocked Lucy when she first told of visiting Narnia, who later fell prey to the temptations of Turkish Delight, before realizing his mistakes and becoming Edmund the Just.

51 - 75    
You do a lot of good for other people, but often are stymied by fear of repercussions or what others will think. You pursue your own needs and goals but also make time for others. You are Mr. Tumnus, the faun who intends to kidnap Lucy for the Witch but realizes he shouldn't.

76 - 100    
You have a strong sense of responsibility toward others and a deep respect for other people, even strangers, though you are not always sure what the best course of action is. You are Lucy, the brave child who who is wise beyond her years and kind to all she meets.

101 - 120    
Always thinking of others before yourself, you are self-sacrificing, selfless, and your motives are pure. You are Aslan, the mighty and kind lion who uses his power for good and sacrifices himself for others.

I am Lucy. I had to admit on the question about what would you do if you arrived at the office and found it closed for the day, that I'd go back to bed. But only because I'm pooped! Is being pooped a lousy and selfish motive? ;)

Don't feel bad, Katy. My answer on that one was the same: "Watch TV, lounge in bed, go shopping, see a mindless movie, or play video games." Selfish or not, it sure sounded good to me! Robin

Color me Lucy (87). My answer to this question ...

"A dog is about to be hit by a car. You're standing at the curb. What do you do?"

... was unsettling. I think it puts Christ's sacrifice for us in perspective ... unlike Jesus I was not willing to put my life on the line for a helpless being ... a bit too much reality for Monday morning.

[MMM]

I was Lucy too. :)

[Katy Raymond]

Yeah, pity the poor dog that looks to me for his salvation! I'm afraid I hesitated a bit too long for reflective thought before rushing to rescue him...I'd like to think I hesitated so that I could make sure I didn't get killed myself so that I could stay alive to serve God with my whole heart even longer, but *ahem*. :)

I'm Lucy. And I'm glad I'm not the only one blogging on a Monday morning after Christmas!

Hugs,

Robin,
I was Aslan by one, with a 101 score.

Which I guess makes me just barely Christlike:)

Thanks for the fun quiz link, it was a true daybrightener.

Robin,
I scored 101 which just puts me in the Aslan range!What a fun quiz this was.I do not know that I am all that selfless but it is sometimes hard to really be accurate with these types of quizzes.I think Lucy would have been pretty accurate too.

Add another Lucy to the mix. Although sometimes I'm afraid there's a whole lot more Edmund in me than I want to admit.
