On this highly productive Friday afternoon, you will be delighted to hear that I have made - wait for it... a book-themed faction quiz!

You answer the questions, keep a note of your answer number, tally up your score and find out which reader faction you belong to! It's revolutionary, really. No peeking ahead at the scores either; this is serious, people. So...

What’s your favorite genre?

1)Classics
2)Mystery/Thriller
3)Science-Fiction
4)Romance
5)Non-Fiction
6)I read everything

Do you ever read more than one book at a time?

1)Just one at a time for me.
2)Hell yes. I live on the wild side.
3)At least five.
4)One or two.
5)Honestly? It varies.
6)Sometimes. I need to mix up my genres.

There’s a new bestseller in town, what do you do?

1)Wait to see what my friends think.
2)Gimme gimme gimme!
3)Assess the positive and negative reviews equally.
4)Cautiously check it out.
5)Wait until the hype has got too unbearable� then give in.

3)War and Peace

The movie version of your favorite book is out, what do you do?

1)I’ll stick with my books, thank you very much!
2)Get tickets to the midnight showing.
3)Read the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, then consider it.
4)Take this opportunity to re-read the book, then maybe see it.
5)Depends whether Jennifer Lawrence is in it.
6)Flip a coin. Heads and you’ll see it, tails and you’ll stay in and watch Grey's Anatomy.

When a book ends with a cliffhanger, you...

1)Shrug and find something else to read.
2)Freak out!
3)Mark the sequel release in your planner.
4)Cry. But are secretly pleased a book can affect you like this.
5)Stalk the author on twitter, looking for tidbits on the characters� fate.
6)All of the above. In reverse order.

Someone asks you what the last book was that you read. It was Twilight (come on, you were curious!). So you say...

1)Nothing. You change the subject.
2)The latest Stephen King, of course *eye twitch*
3)Oh, some book about negative relationship psychology among young women. You wouldn’t know it.
4)[said really fast]Twilight, but only because I was curious, bored, caffeine deprived, PMS-ing...
5)Twilight.
6)Haha! The last book? I read like ten at a time, you’ll have to be more specific.

How fast do you read?

1)Not that fast. I have other obligations too.
2)I speed through those books. Publishers can hardly keep up with me.
3)I aim for 500 words per minute.
4)Not fast. Not slow.
5)Frankly, it depends on the book. And my mood.
6)I read fast unless it’s a book I REALLY love or REALLY hate.

1)Perusing the ebook selection. You want to save the planet.
2)Dancing between the aisles and pretending you’re a wizard.
3)Asking the librarian to order in a bunch of obscure titles.
4)Carrying out the entire “What’s New� section.
5)Being annoyed that Game of Thrones is on the sci-fi shelves. It’s fantasy! Why does no one seem to know the difference?!
6)Browsing EVERY section for hours and annoying the people you’re with.


Okay, now add up your answer scores:
1 = 0 points
2 = 1 point
3 = 2 points
4 = 3 points
5 = 4 points
6 = 5 points

RESULTS:

0-8 : ABNEGATION
You are a selfless reader (most of the time). You don't like to read more than one book at once and your friends' opinions on books are extremely valuable to you. You're not one to go in for all that bookworm drama and you remember that life exists outside storybooks... you just prefer being inside them. Your faction leader is Juliet Capulet. She, like you, was never afraid to give up all else for the people books she loved.


9-15 : Dauntless
You're a brave reader who loves to throw yourself into multiple books at once. Books are thrilling adventures for you and whatever genre you pick has to be filled with fast-pacing and excitement. You are extremely enthusiastic about sequels and movie adaptations of your favourite books. Your faction leader is Katniss Everdeen. She fought in The Hunger Games and you've always known you'd have made a great tribute.


16-23 : Erudite
Being as smart as you are, books have always been your natural companions. You are happy to read many at the same time and always consider the positives and negatives noted in reviews before wasting your precious reading time. You probably feel just as comfortable reading a huge classic as you do checking out the latest paranormal YA. Your faction leader is Sherlock Holmes. Because... duh.


24-31 : Amity
You are one of the kind-hearted, sensitive lovers of peace and happy endings. It's possible that you're something of a romantic and dislike dark and depressing novels, but your pleasant personality means you'll give everything a chance to prove you wrong. Your faction leader is Jay Gatsby - a kindred spirit who only ever wanted to get the girl he loves, throw parties and read fabulous books.


32-38 : Candor
You are a proud speaker of the truth. No bullshit, you're just comfortable with who you are and don't feel the need to pretend the pageturner you're reading is a Russian classic. If you write book reviews, then it's likely that you deliver a hard dose of truth and don't lose any sleep over it either. Your faction leader is Tyrion Lannister, because someone has to be the voice of wittily-applied reason amid the drama.


39-45 : Divergent
No one really knows what's going on with you - you like a bit of everything. You try many different genres and your reaction to them changes with your mood. Or just with the weather. I guess, in the end, you just love all kinds of literature wildly and unpredictably. Genre is a silly way of categorizing things anyway. Your faction leader is Severus Snape, because no one had any idea which side he belonged on either.

This quiz was written by me, whilst sat in my pajamas eating leftover Thai food. It is not remotely official. In fact, it is so far from official that you should really take your result with a pinch of salt and a shot of tequila (#TGIF). But I am extremely bored (obviously) so if you are feeling some blossoming indignation over your result, feel free to send your hate mail my way. *eats another wonton*
