I’m an Isildur — I start projects and don’t finish them, even when standing right in front of the metaphorical finish line.

What about a Bilbo type? Hesitant to start, not really sure what’s needed to accomplish the task, but once you stumble on a bit of magic things seem to fall into place.

Love that - what you've shared has a nice "ring" to it.

I'm a cross between Arwen and Frodo. Part hobbit and part elf - win-win!

Agreed. Two of the strongest characters, imho!!

How creative! Thank you for compiling this. It surprised me as I went through... 🤭 Sigh, I'm not a Frodo after all.

You still could be! Typologies are meant to be fluid/changing, methinks.

Here I was thinking I’d be one of the Hobbits, probably Sam or Pippin… nope! Aragorn. Probably a bit of Treebeard. Not a bad combo, just a surprising one.

Nice. I think I have a bit of Sam and a lot of Treebeard. But maybe these will change over time, as the quest of life flows onwards...

Loved this! I’m going to have to think about which one is more me, as I think I can fit into several types

Love your username.

I've never cleanly fit into typologies, so I think seeing yourself in more than one character makes total sense.

A little bit of Tolkien in my everyday life :)

I’m all of them, I think. I might even be all of Middle Earth….

I'm Arwen, which is funny because that was my online pseudonym for the whole of my online life haha.

Love Arwen, wish I could develop more of what makes her so great in the books/films.

She has an understated strength I don't think many people realise.

None of them fit my bill 😢

I wonder if any of them would now that I thinking of it. 🤔

I can see myself in a few of these, but Frodo is very me. The advice there is really good. I know who my artistic Samwise is too. 😁
