there's a website called selectsmart where you can make your own. Ankh-Morpork people considered that spelling was a sort of optional extra. They believed in it the same way they believed in punctuation; it didn't matter where you put it, so long as it was there.~Terry Pratchett<i></i>

OK, this test has been around for awhile. One time I took it and it came out Jack Williamson another as Issac Asimov. Jack Williamson is pretty common result.

However, I read something funny about 8 or so weeks ago . The editor and fan, Theresa Nielsen Hayden read h in her weblog www.makinglight.com , started wonking with the test trying to get the results she wanted. She tried answering the questions as if she was David Brin and the result came out Greg Benford, which she figured was pretty close. Another time she tried to answer as Jerry Pournelle and it came out Robert Heinlein, and she figured that was close in a very weird and bizarre way. taraswizard
