Which SF Writer are You?
Ever wondered which science fiction writer you’re most like? Take this test to find out.
It thinks I’m most like Isaac Asimov. Not bad, but I’m disappointed I didn’t match up with Alfred Bester, who wrote the best book ever.

I vacillate between loving Stars or Demolished Man more, but both are ever stuck in my top five or so favorites.
I’m apparently Clement. Must do more reading.
Alex.
Oh that was fun! Thanks for the link.
Stars must be aligning in my favor, as apparently I’m Tiptree/Sheldon.
I should be so lucky. And have such an outstanding jelly jar of a nom de plume.
I’m Gregory Benford. I have no objection to that, but I get the feeling I’m more like Philip K. Dick even though Heinlein is my favorite SF author. I wouldn’t want to be Heinlein though, except for his writing skills from the 1950s. I wish I could write something as great as Timescape.
I was surprised. I was hoping for Heinlein, and figured I am a lot like my favorite author, so I was a shoo-in. I guess I’m not altogether disappointed though. While she was probably insufferable at parties, she turned out to be right about a lot of things. You know, disregarding the weird female subservient thing.
I am Ayn Rand.
Alex, I took that quiz before, and also ended up being Hal Clement. I’m flattered, but skeptical.
Rarely do these online polls turn out so well for me. I failed the Moon Survival Challenge miserably with 42% (http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/moon).
Oddly that’s the same rating I get for my effectiveness as a human shield (http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/view2/human_shield).
But Frank Herbert? That I can live with.
I’m John Brunner.
Not a bad survey.
I ended up as Heinlein. Hmm.
Olaf Stapledon
I got Olaf Stapledon, which convices me that the answers are generated randomly. Stapledon is one of the few SF authors I strongly dislike.
