I rather enjoyed this What's Your Classical Composer Personality? quiz. I turned out to be Tchaikovsky and how I matched the description wasn't half bad. Give it a try. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I'm also Tchaikovsky, but I had to skip the Star Trek question since I've never watched it and don't know the characters. Also, for most of the questions I wanted to answer "none of the above" (e.g., the career question).

I'm Mozart. Could be worse I guess.
But my favourite TOS crew member was definitely not on that list.

Beethoven. Reading the description, someone could be trying to tell me something......
You are Ludwig van Beethoven. You like to push boundaries and are never satisfied with the status quo. Setbacks motivate you to find more creative solutions and your determination is admirable. Occasionally seen by others as irascible or stubborn, your gruff demeanor hides a surprisingly compassionate heart. You’re a little bit lonely and don’t make friends very easily, but you’re extremely loyal to those you care about. Thoughtful and focused, you’re more likely to take a walk in the woods to sort out your problems than talk to someone about them.

I'm Tchaikovsky too, and I have to admit the description was in the ballpark.

You are Johann Sebastian Bach. The smartest person you know, you don’t suffer incompetence easily and are more than willing to tackle difficult projects yourself rather than trust them to others. Highly intellectual, you crave order, discipline and structure – let’s be honest, you probably have your picture next to “perfectionist” in the dictionary. Unfortunately, your brilliance is likely to go largely unappreciated by those around you, and you’re going to have to wait for future generations to recognize your genius.

Another Tchaikovsky. For those who got someone else, here is the Tchaikov description: "You are Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. You’re a little bit of a conundrum. You probably love to travel and see new things, but you shirk the spotlight and aren’t very comfortable around people. You’re your own harshest critic, but you’re great at solving problems, whether you know it or not. Mysterious and more than a little bit shy, you see music and art as an emotional outlet and important form of expression for the occasionally overwhelming moments in everyday life."

You are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. You epitomize the work hard-play hard philosophy. You excel in your chosen field through a combination of exceptional talent and crazy hard work. (People have probably had to force you to take a vacation more than once.) Yet, you’re also the life of the party wherever you go – you’ve got a great sense of humor and a distinct sense of style. While this means you can occasionally come off as a bit stuck-up or irresponsible, pretty much everyone wants to be your friend.

Hardly surprising that I'm another Tchaikovsky though I think I'd rather have been someone like Berlioz or Puccini. I'm just thankful I didn't turn out to be Wagner!

It's fairly obvious just by looking at the quiz there are only 5 possible answers - and Berlioz, Puccini and Wagner aren't among them.
This thread already mentions them all - Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and Tchaikovsky. No-one's going to get anything else.

Sad really - it would be so cool if piglet got Thomas Tallis or if someone else got Satie or Bellini or Donizetti - or even Hildegard of Bingen.

I'm surprised there isn't a Satie option. He was as mad as a bag of rats so any fruitcake detected could be given that (anyone who dresses in grey velvet suits and eats only white foods for many years has to be unhinged).

I tried it twice with mostly different answers each time, and both times I got Tchaikovsky.

I am Mozart: dunno how hard I work, above average a lot of the time. I do tend to play hard about as often as not. Dunno if I would really like to head up a non-profit, but as a married man with barely four years as an undergraduate I could not be a priest in the Roman Catholic Church, though I do what I can as a layman.
