Just tested for Erik and got a 35. Close, but no GS.

My character is so lacking in emotion, achievement, and all-around empathy, that he is an anti-Stu. I got 2 points, even after taking the quiz a third time and more truthfully. This leaves him open to better development in my mind, more easily placed into new roles, personality fleshing... or it could mean he's bland and uninteresting.

Guys, remember that this test doesn't count for much. All you're doing is rating your character against a system that is primarily made of someone else's opinion.
What "score" you should be aiming for is improving your style of RPing. Longer, well-written posts that describe more and convey feelings better are far more valuable than not using common traits found in characters.

True.
If I remember correctly, the tv-tropes index also has a few examples on how some characters might score big, but still be faraway from a mary sue.

Although he is right. I play one of those types of characters, very much a sue, I think he scored a 56 or something, I don't remember, and a few people beyond me love him to pieces. He's currently separated from the group, and I'm still getting demands to bring him back. XD
