Beatleology - Embracing Your 'Inner Beatle' | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

Well, as I promised to do so, I figured it was about time to post the quiz from the book I said I had. It's pretty long, so I'm hoping it will all fit in here, otherwise I guess I'll post it in parts.

Sorry about some of the questions, they're quite odd, but I'll let you mark it yourselves, so you don't have to worry about revealing too much about your personal life – other than which Beatle you are! I'll upload the answer sheet as an image, if I can, because I haven't typed that up… 

As for your results, basically the Beatle that you've answered most questions as is your primary Beatles sign, and the second most is, well, your secondary. For example, my answers were mostly Pauls, and my second-most George, so I am a Paul with George rising. It's weird like that. If the secondary sign is very close to the third and fourth most sign, then you are a Pure Beatle. Say if my Paul results were the highest, but George, John and Ringo were all pretty much the same, I'd be a 'Pure Paul.' Sadly, I'm not. I think that's all, if you have any problems just let me know, and I shall refer to the book!

When you've worked out what you are, information about each 'Inner Beatle' is on this – http://www.beatlescience.com/ – website, along with stuff about the quiz in general. 

That's enough blathering from me. Here's the quiz!
