Not sure if you've injected a little too much of yourself into a character? Take the test!

Nice. I don't have OC's in my fanfiction, but I wanted to see how Jenaka (my MC of my NaNo novel) faired. Scored a 6. She's nothing like me and not particularly "awesome"

Only got that score because she is a linguist... so being able to fluently speak several languages upped the score. LOL That and being accomplished at a younger age (late 20's). But she's not necessarily the "heroine"... just the character that the readers experience everything through. :P
