Which nerdy sidekick are you?

http://www.buzzfeed.com/keelyflaherty/which-nerdy-sidekick-are-you

You got: Willow Rosenberg

You are the most adorkable of them all. You’re as dependable and loyal as they come, and when your friends are in a tough spot, you’re the first person they turn to. You’re the master of awkward one-liners, and smart as a whip. You avoid the spotlight at all costs and hate conflict, but brewing beneath all that sweet and hilarious charm is some seriously raw power. When provoked, you can be as fearsome an enemy, as you are a trustworthy protector.

You got: Beaker
You’re the clown of your friend group. Yes, you can easily rattle off most of the periodic table abbreviations, but you’re more than just smart — you know how to use your smarts for fun. You’re always down for an exciting new adventure, even if it runs the risk of serious injury. You’re the funny nerd everyone wants at the party, and you know exactly how to toe the line between intelligent and approachable. You’re meepin’ awesome.

You’re the coolest of tech gurus. Yes, you’ve usually got a screen in front of you, and you prefer the company of computers to people, but you’re also quick-witted and charismatic. You’re a natural introvert who prefers to avoid the limelight, and you usually choose not to get involved in group politics. But you’re also an incredibly intuitive person who’s a step ahead of the crowd, and that makes you a strong ally and a dangerous enemy.

You’re the most reliable and trustworthy of friends. You have high emotional intelligence and your natural intuition makes you a wiz in social settings. You try to hide your bolder nature for propriety’s sake, but you’re also highly competitive, and you thrive in high-stress situations. You crave intellectual stimulation, and you’re a tried and true adventurer.

You’re the quiet, brilliant member of your small, tight-knit group of friends. People come to you when they need sound advice, a good listener, and any information on spores, molds, and fungus. You’re a master of deadpan humor, and your best comebacks are usually what you mutter under your breath when no one is listening. Behind that calm demeanor, you’re passionate and tenacious, and once you decide on a goal, you won’t stop until you achieve it. Most importantly, you are a firm believer in never crossing the streams.

turns out she's a key character in Buffy the Vampire Slayer teevee series. She actually seemed pretty interesting.

Figures, since I think Benedict Cumberbatch is totally hot and I picked him as my celebrity date.

I was torn between Gray's Anatomy and the spell book, and I suspect that's why Willow prevailed.

You’re the epitome of sidekick-turned-hero. You’re always a brave, trustworthy friend, and you never actively seek the spotlight — you’re more comfortable playing second fiddle. But when it comes to stopping injustice, you have no problem taking the lead. You hold yourself to a high moral code, and behind your adorable, dorky demeanor, you’re a scrappy fighter who’d sacrifice everything for your loved ones.

You are the most beloved of all the nerdy sidekicks. When it comes to solving a problem with concrete logic, you’re an unrivaled genius. But you prefer to avoid the stickier emotional problems. While you’d ideally like to hide behind cold and simple common sense, when you’re pushed outside your boundaries, you truly thrive. Beneath all those theories about the importance of emotional stoicism, you’re a deeply loyal and compassionate friend, who would sacrifice everything — including your own life — for the people you (gulp) love.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer and certainly not "adorkable" and not a mere nerdy sidekick probably qualifies me as a nerdy sidekick type. I always thought she was a little odd and funny but gorgeous, far sexier than Sarah Michelle Geller.

Anyway, I got Neville Longbottom and I didn't know who that was until I looked him up.
