Question 9 - What's your reading personality?
I'm an all-rounder, too. I wonder if anyone will get anything else...:)
All-rounder also. That's likely the type of people that are part of this group.
Nice quiz, and the result describes me pretty well, I think, though what's probably more telling about my personality is that I can't get over the spelling mistake in Question 5! ;) Anyway, apparently I'm an Exacting Reader!"The expression 'so many books, so little time!' sums up your life. You love books but you rarely have as much time to read as you'd like - so you're very particular about the books you choose."
All-Rounder for me as well.Choosing books by random draw may have something to do with that.
I got this one:The Serial Eclectic Reader
Your responses show that you are both a serial reader and an eclectic reader, which indicates that you both read widely and frequently.
As a serial reader you're loyal to your favorite authors, but as an eclectic reader you're also open to new ideas and new writers, and are not wedded to a particular genre. That you manage to both keep up with your favorite authors and explore new writers indicates that you are likely to be what the research companies like to term a "heavy reader"
Eclectic Reader, but I agree with Iasa
Eclectic Reader. I've tried to call myself eclectic before but it's hard to get other people to use that word, so I'm pretty happy.(edited to add a Confession: After I thought about this I realized I meant eccentric...)
Exacting Eclectic and I could be a Serial Eclectic

Hee!
I got the "all-rounder" too, but I didnt feel like a lot of the questions really didn't have an answer that fit my habits quite well enough.
All rounder! which, I guess is close enough for a generic online test (:
All-rounder, too!I also felt that some of the questions did not have an answers that really fit me very well. Does that make me an Eclectic All-rounder?
Like Amber (message 9), I'm Serial Eclectic. I think that's right, too.
The Exacting ReaderThe expression 'so many books, so little time!' sums up your life. You love books but you rarely have as much time to read as you'd like - so you're very particular about the books you choose.

Oh, hello, Vespertine and Ruchi! We seem to be the only Exacting Readers in this thread so far!
Exacting eclectic, but for several questions I wanted to choose several answers, picking one was difficult.
An all arounder, but on some if the questions there was not one good, fitting answer so I chose one. I would preferred none of the above OR I an II only, I and III only, (in other words, a combination if choices...).
All-rounder. The Erasmus quote put a smile on my face. It's my current dilemma. Ola wrote: "Nice quiz, and the result describes me pretty well, I think, though what's probably more telling about my personality is that I can't get over the spelling mistake in Question 5! ;) Anyway, apparen..."
You're not the only one, I was thinking "may be!!!"
I'm an All-Rounder. Having read the summary descriptions of the different types, I have to agree :)

I got 'The Eclectic Reader' "You read for entertainment but also to expand your mind. You're open to new ideas and new writers, and are not wedded to a particular genre or limited range of authors" - Pretty much sums me up! :)
The Eclectic ReaderYou read for entertainment but also to expand your mind. You're open to new ideas and new writers, and are not wedded to a particular genre or limited range of authors.
Yes, this is very true. I give out my amazon info to share with family and my future SIL said her sister was shocked and laughed at my library because it was full of the most random stuff. I think anyone could make use of it lol
I got the all around reader!This is funny,because I always describe myself as an eclectic reader.
The Eclectic Reader ...Sounds about right. I really do like reading all types of books, no matter what the publication date and have been quoted as saying "If I haven't read it then it is new to me"
Happy reading no matter what you read. :)
that was fun, the result: "The Exacting Eclectic Reader". This definition sounds right to me
The Exacting Eclectic ReaderYour responses showed you fitting into two different groups - the exacting reader and the eclectic reader.
The expression 'so many books, so little time!' sums up your life. You love books but you rarely have as much time to read as you'd like - so you're very particular about the books you choose.
You read for entertainment but also to expand your mind. You're open to new ideas and new writers, and are not wedded to a particular genre or limited range of authors.
I got "exacting eclectic reader" :-)
Mod
But seriously "finished my last book?" That never happens for me!
I didn't really like this quiz, there were 3 questions with no answer that fitted me :/Oh well!
I got The All-Rounder.
i'm an all-rounder as well but the answer options were not much like me.
Eclectic reader. But on every second question I really needed to choose more than one answer, though.
I got eclectic but some of the questions i could have had more than one answer!

You read for entertainment but also to expand your mind. You're open to new ideas and new writers, and are not wedded to a particular genre or limited range of authors.
Sounds pretty much on target for me, I'd say .

I'm an All-Rounder! I fit equally into each reading personality. :D
(I think what they're trying to say is that I'm a read-aholic, but that's cool with me!)
