Is your character a Mary Sue?

You should do the test for him if you don't believe us. There's a lot more that is considered GS-ism that just that. ;)

I think this just goes to provide more evidence that the test is a load of dingo's kidneys, myself.

As was said above, the test is more like a set of guidelines than a set of rules. Mary Sues/Gary Stus/Arry Oos (yes, Arry Oo is sometimes used as a non-gender-specific version of the term) tend to have a lot of the qualities listed, as well as flawed writing and a strong whiff of wish-fulfillment.

It's so nice to see people talk common sense for a change.

I love that, by the way.

This test is stupid. No major developed character from my stories( I wrote mystery for fun in college) got a decent score. The questions were unclear at times resulting in me saying yes to only part of a question. I didn't like it.
