>I think it would be interesting to have someone else who knows us answer the question and see what daemon we get. I said that I wasn't easily distractable, for instance, but I don't know if the editors at Books for Young Readers would agree. And Roger, I don't really get the modesty thing in your profile! I'm a tiger, and the first four adjectives really seemed right, but the fifth? "Outgoing, sociable, competitive, responsible, and shy."

I don't even understand how a person can be both outgoing and shy. But I love my tiger.

When I saw His Dark Materials as a play in London, the actors acted their daemons--it was neat.

>Er, Anon, if that was the case we'd all have ocelots named Androne...

My wife, a children's illustrator, also did the quiz (on another computer, I'll add): ocelot.

>I too got an ocelot early Thursday, but today my first attempt gave me snow leopard daemon who is "solitary, responsible, modest,shy,and fickle." Fickle? I'd rather describe myself as open to changing my mind on things.

>Rose, the childlit group is also crawling with ocelots. I think it might have something to do with those who are attracted to children's books!

>I think you folks got ocelots becauce that was Roger's result and the url appears to have been directly copied and pasted.

I am a solitary, sociable, and modest hare named Thaleron.

LOL, this reminds me of a job I had where we had to take personality tests (Myers Briggs, I believe) and post them on our office doors so we could all "get along better". Animals would have been more fun!
