Prometheus 33% Extroversion, 100% Intuition, 44% Emotiveness, 4% Perceptiveness

You are most like Prometheus, and you probably knew that before you even took this test. You probably aren't deliberately altruistic, but you still tend to do things that benefit everyone, even at great expense to your health and personal relationships. You aren't ruled by your emotions, but you still have a strong sense of justice. You make good descisions, but they can sometimes backfire (and this isn't due to a flaw in your reasoning, but due to faulty premises instead). You are very reasonable, you understand systems, you can quickly pinpoint flaws and you know how to correct them. You pride understanding and knowledge above everything else, and your greatest fear is to appear to be incompetent. You tend to be contemptuous of authority, but you don't accept leadership roles yourself until everyone else has demonstrated their own incompetence. You've built a very specific skill set. You know exactly where your strengths and weaknesses are, and you pride yourself on this kind of self-knowledge. You distrust tradition, which you see as arbitrary, and you rely instead on your own judgements. You also pride yourself on your pragmatism. You're also a very private person. Most of all, people think you're arrogant, but screw them! They're the ones who benefit from your ideas and discoveries, and if they took the time to understand why it is that you say and think the things you do, they'd realize that you only appear arrogant because you are exactingly precise when it comes to your area of specification, and most of all because, when you don't know something, you don't have an opinion about it (unlike most of the loudmouths that you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis). Relationships are your kryptonite. It isn't that you don't want them -- in fact, you would very much like a very close relationship with someone who understands you. They're just the one thing in the world that you're naturally bad at. Famous people like you: Niels Bohr, J.

My answer isn't as long and detailed as yours! *pouts*

Nemesis
33% Extroversion, 66% Intuition, 72% Emotiveness, 47% Perceptiveness
You are a normally quiet person with very strong convictions and a marked activist streak. You have a clearly defined sense of right and wrong, and you like seeing people punished for their transgressions. You are Nemesis, goddess of punishment. You are a champion for the defenseless, you love poetic justice and, if karmic retribution doesn't have its say, then you'll have yours. You are astute, rarely fooled, and idealistic.

I could say something here about the results being skewed by the type of person who takes a "Greek Mythology Personality Test" in the first place -- particularly one including the words "logos" and "gnosis" rather than being shallowly based on the gods' affinities -- but... Oh, wait, I just did. ^_^

You've got to appreciate a mythology meme that doesn't stick with the standard set of gods and goddesses we all learned in Jr. High School. So far, I've seen Prometheus, Nemesis, Narcissus, Orpheus, the Oracle, Pan, Aphrodite, and Proteus, and mention of Apollo, Icarus, Hermes, Atlas and Daedalus. Well done, in my opinion, though some (like Proteus and Nemesis) are incomplete by the standards of the others, with no "avoid" and "seek out" comparisons.

I know! I want avoid and seek out comparisons, dammit! And I think a goddess that kicks as much butt as Nemesis should get more than one paragraph, if Prometheus gets five! Who do I shake my fist at to get results?
