Not sure how I should feel about this...

You scored as 0 - The Fool. The Fool is the most complex and most contradictory of all the Tarot cards. "I am not a number, I am a free man". The Fool represents naivety and childlike innocence - yet the Fool is wise. He carries only what possessions he really needs He journeys through life, tasting everything it has to offer then letting it go and moving on. The Fool is a risk taker, often shown with one foot over a cliff showing us every new beginning has a risk. Whether the Fool represents opportunity or danger one thing is clear: this world needs more fools. </td> 0 - The Fool 75% XIX: The Sun 69% XI: Justice 63% XV: The Devil 63% XIII: Death 63% X - Wheel of Fortune 63% III - The Empress 63% II - The High Priestess 56% VI: The Lovers 56% VIII - Strength 50% XVI: The Tower 44% I - Magician 44% IV - The Emperor 31% Which Major Arcana Tarot Card Are You? created with QuizFarm.com

I rather like it...
That's not an insult. In a book I recently read (I think it was a recent Mercedes Lackey) the protagonist works through the various arcana as they reference her magical talent...and the fool is the first one she comprehends. It speaks to being on a journey, being open to experience and to the enthusiasms that allow one to be swept up in the moment.
Most of the other arcana don't seem to me to have enough of a fit for your personality: They tend to be more about controlling others, power, secrets, or lack of openess.
The fool means that you have to guard against walking off the cliff... but that explorative aspect of your personality means that you see and experience more of both 'real life' and the life of the imagination and of the soul than most people know is there.

Thank you for the response. I have heard it suggested that the Wizard of Oz is based on the major arcana -- I don't know if it's true, but certainly, similarities can be seen. The fool is associated with inexperience, and with beginnings, of starting out on one's journey through life. I'd like to think I was a little further along than the beginning...But if I'm still at the beginning, maybe it's an indication that I need to get moving!

It also reminds me that a few years ago someone at faire suggested that I was like a giant puppy dog. Hmmm...

However, it could also be a poorly designed meme, so maybe I shouldn't take it too personally, eh?

Oh, with the Wizard of Oz, I meant to point out that Dorothy is often indicated as an idealized fool.
