Shot In The Dark: Call Me Duke

August 28, 2005

Call Me Duke

Via Doug at BoGold, the great Leading Man test.

This one's a little more fun than most, actually...'

John Wayne
You scored 69% Tough, 14% Roguish, 9% Friendly, and 9% Charming!

You, my friend, are a man's man, the original true grit, one tough
talking, swaggering son of a bitch. You're not a bad guy, on the
contrary, you're the ultimate good guy, but you're one tough character,
rough and tumble, ready for anything. You call the shots and go your
own way, and if some screwy dame is willing to accept your terms,
that's just fine by you. Otherwise, you'll just hit the open trail and
stay true to yourself. You stand up for what you believe and can handle
any situation, usually by rushing into the thick of the action. You're
not polished and you're not overly warm, but you're a straight shooter
and a real stand up guy. Co-stars include Lauren Bacall and Maureen
O'Hara, tough broads who can take care of themselves.

Find out what kind of classic dame you'd make by taking the
Classic Dames Test.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 95% on Tough
You scored higher than 65% on Roguish
You scored higher than 8% on Friendly
You scored higher than 4% on Charming

So if you're John Wayne and I'm Kate Hepburn - then that means we actually made a movie together! Good times, good times.

Charm was well more than 4% of Duke's screen legend. For your physicality and low percentages on affability, I think Lawrence Tierney is an uncanny match for you.

I got about halfway down the quiz and grew bored. It was more entertaining to identify the actor behind each answer.

"You stick your neck out for nobody...grr, fine, you'll help."

There's CASABLANCA for you in one line.

Red: I KNEW you sounded familiar!

E-Blo: I find it helps just to relax and enjoy these things.

I scored a Jimmy Stewart
25% Tough
99% Friendly
single digits on the rest

I wasn't really expecting the "Friendly" score...

About half way through I knew I was gonna be Jimmy Stewart. Really, really wanted to be The Duke. Dammit. Story of my life.

Don't feel bad; in THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE, Jimmy gets to punch Duke in the face *so hard* that he crashes onto his can.
