What’s your steampunk personality?
Part of what makes steampunk so fun is that it’s got its cast of stock charaters–the aviator, the swashbuckler, the aristocrat, etc. But if you’re like me, you waffle about which one you want to be. Boy when I was trying to make my costume, I just couldn’t decide between “rough-and-tumble” or “prim-and-proper”.
So I made up this handy-dandy quiz for those of you who just can’t decide either! Just click on the picture and take the quiz to find out!
♦ Tell me in the comments what your steampunk persona is! ♦
♦ I’m an Inventive (and slightly befuddled) Tinkerer. ♦

I’m a Downright Bonkers Scientist!
Awesome.
Great quiz!
February 16, 2011 @ 12:03 pm
Uh-oh, I’d better steer clear of you…unless…will you hire me as a minion?? I’m pretty inventive, you know. 😉
February 16, 2011 @ 9:51 am
I am the Perfectly Polished Aristocrat. OHOHOHO. Clearly I must work on my frou-frou accent.
Tut tut, my dear!
February 16, 2011 @ 12:04 pm
Hahahaha. I can already tell you’re as perfectly polished as your best silverware.
February 16, 2011 @ 1:11 pm
I’m a Perfectly Polished Aristocrat too! I’m not sure if I should be embarrassed about that or not haha!
February 16, 2011 @ 1:20 pm
Clearly you should be offended that anyone would assume any different. And then sip your tea with a slightly disgusted look on your face. Finally, require your servants to wind the automaton maid just to entertain yourself.
February 16, 2011 @ 1:22 pm
BAHAHAHA!
That’s AWESOME, Kat. Just awesome. Automaton maid = HILARIOUS.
<3 <3 <3

I’m joining Kat and Laura as a Perfectly Polished Aristocrat. Which totally makes sense because it was the fashion that attracted me to the cosplay side of the genre in the first place. As an aristocrat I can even dress up as these other characters for our fun costume balls when I’m bored!
February 18, 2011 @ 11:21 am
Nice! You can definitely use masked balls to experience the other side of steampunk…you’re clothes will just be of a finer fit and quality. 😉

The link has gone , …..gutted lol
February 16, 2011 @ 1:28 pm
I’m a downright bonkers scientist by day. By night, you’ll see me testing out my nefarious schemes and inventions on hapless clockwork automatons–don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe and legal–as far as you know…
February 16, 2011 @ 1:31 pm
Niiiiiice. That’s clockwork minions are for, I suppose… You may be off your rocker and bent on world domination, but you aren’t hurting anyone. 😉
February 16, 2011 @ 1:45 pm
I was on track to be a Perfectly Polished Aristocrat, but I started changing up my answers and wound up a Downright Bonkers Scientist. Basically, I’m a dirty cheater … so maybe a Downright Bonkers Scientist after all! 🙂
February 16, 2011 @ 2:02 pm
Yeah, cheating has indicated your TRUE COLORS, Meredith. 😉
February 16, 2011 @ 1:51 pm
Such a fun quiz! I’m a Swashbuckling Airship Pirate.
February 16, 2011 @ 2:03 pm
Yay! You’re the first Airship Pirate–I think that means you have total control of the skies at this point. 😀
February 16, 2011 @ 1:58 pm
I’m a Downright Bonkers Scientist, but you probably could have guessed as much. Muahahahahahaha!!!
Excellent!
February 16, 2011 @ 2:04 pm
Um, there is a DEFINITE overpopulation of Bonkers Scientists.
You guys are gonna have to duke out who gets to take over what nation…or else you’ll be pitted against each other (and nothing good can come of that). 😉
February 16, 2011 @ 2:08 pm
Looks like I’m a no-nonsense tough-as-nails officer. (I think that’s what I *wish* I were, not what I actually am… :P)
February 16, 2011 @ 2:54 pm
Uh-oh, you’re the first OFFICER. Looks like all these Swashbuckling Pirates had better beware — the LAW IS ON THE LOOSE. 😉
February 16, 2011 @ 2:29 pm
I am Swashbuckling Airship Pirate!! 😀 This is awesome 🙂
February 16, 2011 @ 2:55 pm
Yay! Another pirate to roam the skies and steal from the Perfectly Polished Aristocracy.
February 17, 2011 @ 1:27 pm
No one is stealing from me! That’s what I have all this money for, to hire all those ragamuffin, protect-their-betters, “Tough-as-Nails” officers. Also, I have been using too many hyphens. Tut-tut!
They may, however, steal from the *other* PPAs. That way, I shall be the richest of them all.
February 16, 2011 @ 2:53 pm
Swashbuckling airship pirate!
that was very fun, the answers were quite funny.
February 16, 2011 @ 2:56 pm
OOOH, another PIRATE! Our steampunk universe really has an overabundance of BAD and NOT-SO-GOOD guys… Bonkers Scientists and Airship Pirates seem to abound. 😀
February 16, 2011 @ 3:24 pm
I also came out as a Swashbuckling Airship Pirate! It makes sense, considering my name and all… 😉
February 16, 2011 @ 3:26 pm
Hahaha — yes! It does make sense! Shall we call you Airship Pirate Penguin Sandy?
February 16, 2011 @ 7:56 pm
Sure! I may not be the only pirate in the sky but I think I’m the only penguin to be floating around in the clouds xD
February 16, 2011 @ 3:31 pm
Oooh, I’m a swashbuckling airship pirate! Good! I always wanted my own rag-tag crew.
This was fun!
February 16, 2011 @ 4:41 pm
Oh wow, the skies are getting crowded! We may have to have some crazy clockwork battles in the clouds to deal with all these PIRATES!
February 16, 2011 @ 3:41 pm
Woooooow, way too many pirates here! Look, that’s MY treasure –or it will be as soon as I steal it. Don’t even think of taking it… grrr
lol
February 16, 2011 @ 4:42 pm
You’re gonna have to be sneaky, methinks! Look, I’ll make an explosive from my coffee canister and spectacles, and we can use that as a distraction — but you GOTTA split the treasure with me, alright?
February 16, 2011 @ 5:06 pm
I’ll be so sneaky I wont even see mahself ;D I think we have a plan, Sooz!
February 16, 2011 @ 5:35 pm
I am an Inventive (and slightly befuddled) Tinkerer.
It suits me. ;P
February 16, 2011 @ 7:53 pm
Hahaha, it suits me too!
February 16, 2011 @ 6:49 pm
I a befuddled tinkerer too! Always had more fun thinking Outside the box. What a fun quiz. Looks like we’ll have our work cut out for us, so I’m heading back to my “workshop”.

February 16, 2011 @ 7:54 pm
Yay for more tinkerers! We can fight all those Downright Bonkers Scientists…or at least even the odds in favor of Her Majesty. 😉
February 16, 2011 @ 7:25 pm
I am a Inventive (and slightly befuddled) Tinkerer too. 🙂
February 16, 2011 @ 7:54 pm
WOOO, we tinkerers are making an all-out comeback! Now our poor No-Nosense Officers are all alone…
February 16, 2011 @ 9:47 pm
Yep. I just saw this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOgpdp3lP8M
How steampunk-y is that? 🙂
February 16, 2011 @ 10:07 pm
GAR! I can’t watch it. 🙁 Stupid out-of-US rules. BOOOOOOO. You’ll just have to tell me what happened…
February 17, 2011 @ 3:10 am
Sooo, I was horrible and clicked on it (even though the link wasn’t for me) and: IT WAS AWESOME! 😀 I’ve listened to it waaaay too many times now 😉
February 17, 2011 @ 1:32 pm
They must just hate Germany, because it worked here in Japan. I shall have to agree with Adriana: super steampunky goodness.
February 17, 2011 @ 9:15 pm
Panic at the Disco’s news song, The Ballad of Mona Lisa is steampunk themed music video and it’s awesome. You need to watch it, somehow!
February 17, 2011 @ 9:59 pm
Oh WOW, that’s AWESOME. Thanks so much for sharing! 😀 I’m glad you told me what it was. Wicked cool!
February 16, 2011 @ 7:50 pm
Another Swashbuckling Airship Pirate flying the (not so) friendly skies. 🙂
February 16, 2011 @ 7:55 pm
Ah yes–those skies are getting testier and testier! Keep your eyes (and monocular) peeled for unsavories. 😉
February 16, 2011 @ 9:21 pm
This is AWESOME. I’m going to try and talk you into doing this again come pub date.
Oh, and I’m a Swashbuckling Airship Pirate. The skies are now mine.
February 16, 2011 @ 10:05 pm
I’ll definitely do it again! And, I was thinking, I could make a new one when the pub date is closer:
What’s your spirit-hunting style? 🙂
February 16, 2011 @ 9:36 pm
Ohhhhh…that was fun!!!!
February 16, 2011 @ 10:05 pm
Thanks, Henya! 😀
February 17, 2011 @ 3:50 am
Yay, I’m a tinkerer tool! This was a hilarious test, Susan. Loved it!
February 17, 2011 @ 1:29 pm
Yay! I’m glad to hear it Claudie! And yay for another inventor!
February 17, 2011 @ 6:06 am
I’m a no-nonsense, tough as nails officer just like my dad 😀
February 17, 2011 @ 1:30 pm
Phew–we need more officers. At this point, our pirates are taking over everything! 😉
February 18, 2011 @ 7:15 pm
YES, Brandi! Let us bring down the justice of the law upon these rascals!
February 17, 2011 @ 8:55 pm
LOL – that was fun
i’m a Perfectly Polished Aristocrat – and so i thought…
February 17, 2011 @ 9:59 pm
Yay! We need more Aristocrats to be in charge around here! 😀
February 18, 2011 @ 10:13 pm
Finally got a chance to take the quiz! I’m a No-nonsense, Tough-as-nails Officer. 🙂
February 19, 2011 @ 12:37 pm
That doesn’t surprise me at all!! <3
February 19, 2011 @ 4:54 pm
No-nonsense, Tough-as-nails Officer for me, too.
February 19, 2011 @ 4:57 pm
FINALLY the odds are evening out. Maybe these scalawag pirates won’t be dominating the skies after all… 😉
February 27, 2011 @ 6:20 am
I am a perfectly polished aristo. How lucky I have all you unpolished sorts about to protect me.
May 30, 2013 @ 5:04 am
I’m a swash-buckling airship pirate
July 3, 2014 @ 8:57 pm
Swashbuckling Airship Pirate
November 26, 2014 @ 11:52 pm
Aristocrat? I’d rather prefer a blacksmith.
March 11, 2016 @ 5:45 pm
Swashbuckling Airship Pirate! Honestly, I was probably leaning towards those answers because we had a very interesting group in high school. I was the captain, and my best friend was the Tinkerer and occasional Mad Scientist- he got banished to the ship’s boat (that we towed at a safe distance) because he kept destroying my galley. Ah, good times. 🙂
