There's a few pretty big flaws to this test as it seems to assume the character in question is written solely by the person taking the test. For example, the notion of other people being attracted to the character 'in spite of sexual orientation' (or similar obstacles) would, in a roleplaying context, be someone else's idea and not really qualify your character for Sue-dom. Hyphens and accents in names, restored to health after grievous injury by some kind stranger, or just being plain immortal (Night Elves and Draenei, hello) all seem to add to the 'Sue-score' when really it just comes with rolling a particular character in the game and following the lore.

For Roleplaying characters, this test doesn't really work, is what I'm trying to say. Regardless, Merandil's score is 62 ("Über Sue"), but I guess that comes with being a Nina-Pirate-Cyborg-Assassin.

11-20 points: The Non-Sue. Your character is a well-developed, balanced person, and is almost certainly not a Mary Sue. Congratulations!

I got 11

I got 10, the first time, and not believing that, I re-tried and got 14.

I'm not sure how that works. I was expecting late 20s or early 30s for Halya.

I can only assume massive naivety was her saving grace... As it were.

For one, I tend to think people are trying too hard. For another, I do hope whoever might be seeking to flame others, will kindly do something else and stfu, before I do that for them. Thank you.

I never understood the point in these tests, it all seems very generalisd and alot of questions appear to be leading.

Took it and got 11 based on Jayse. The fact the question "Is your character a secret agent?" made me facepalm a little but can understand why it was there.

But I stand resolute in the opinion that tests like this are largley and on the whole, utter bollocks. It's actually hard to judge if it's marking against your character or yourself as a person.

Hmm... Gahalla clocks in on -1. Though, I did not check the boxes if others consider Gahalla to be knowledgable, skilled or if others falls in love with her (because that's something they decide).

Anyways... a lot of questions seem a bit poorly designed... like the one to check if you're related to nobility and/or royalty. So if I am the second son of a landless knight I earn as many "mary-sure points" as if I am the third son of a king?

Other questions are very vague and open to interpretation.

Scored 10 for Saevir. I credit having a questionable sense of ethics for that.

It is a rather poorly designed test, but amusing nonetheless.

I got almost no points for Annie, somewhere in the middle for Vale, then the most for Amirah, who is probably the least conventional of my characters but has the misfortune to be the last of a noble house. But hey, it was an entertaining few minutes.

One of the good things I think that it does remind one, is that while we all see our characters in a special light (at least I assume so, or what would be the fun of playing them?), much of RP is indeed dependent on how other characters decide to interact with ours rather that how we might imagine them.

I took this test ages ago. Ledgic, despite his background came out with very little points at all. My old warrior Aramus came out as the most "mary sue" despite being the least in actual RP.

Tried to do the test, but I couldn't complete it because none of the questions fit in on me.

The test is mostly flawed (for us) because it assumes that we are all characters that exist on earth.

this test is flawed since it's clearly designed for written characters in a story. and not necessarily for RP.

that said, Amaryl scored at 29. a borderline sue. which seems reasonable everything considering being a paladin, which scored her some points her personality doesn't.

Your score is: -1

Seeing the score I got on the other Mary Sue test (1) I can't say they are -that- different.

0 points on the originally posted one. On the wow-one I scored a -2. I found it funny how many of the questions on the wow one were ''Is the character an elf?''

9 for Grufftoof. But even if this was a better test than the other, it's still a bit crap:

"Are the character's religious beliefs radically different from yours?"

Erm, yes? I don't actually believe in Blizzard's Loa in real life?! There were other questions like that...

Got a mere 3 on the WoW-related one, though.
